This restaurant inside the Hostellerie du Chapeau Rouge was a bittersweet surprise. I say this to the fact that we didn´t order the tasting menu because we felt that we were overdoing it a little, and our last few tasting menus weren´t that great. But from the various (and glorious) amuse-bouches offered, to the main course of Filet de Sole... More

Good, rather a small restaurant. Everything aims that there was a good work of a real designer, the interior, the table clothing, the dishes. However, something is missing, the atmosphere, the unique taste of food... All portions are extremely small, if you are really hungry you'd better go to another place. All portions are 3*3 centimeters size:) you can read... More

We went to William Frachot after meeting friends at the Gare Dijon. What a pleasant experience. The food is outstanding, both in the culinary and artistic senses, the wine selection is terrific, and the service is impeccable. If we find ourselves in Dijon at mealtime, I'm sure Restaurant William Frachot, at the Chapeau Rouge will be the first place that... More

While the food was very good, the service and atmosphere in the restaurant was lacking. For the price of this restaurant and the Michelin Stars it carries, I was very very disappointed. Servers were trying to 'pad' the bill, asking a young guest at the table if s/he wanted more wine - before dessert started - when all the wine... More

We decided to indulge in an extravagant evening at this restauraunt and were not disappointed in the slightest. Service was exceptional and conducted in a friendly and semi informal manner, which suited us fine. We decided to go for the degustation menu and thoroughly enjoyed every single one of the seven courses. Every dish was beautifully presented, works of art... More

The service was nice, and as it was game season, we had some really nice game dishes (crispy and nicely roasted wild boar). The oysters fried and served fresh with lemon was also fantastic, and the dessert of poached pear, chocolate and pistachio was exquisite and delicious.

Our visit to Dijon was to indulge in French gastronomy and we certainly did that at this restaurant! If only all hotel restaurants could be like this...it was definitely one of the most enjoyable meals I've ever had in France (and I've had many :). The set menus are great value given the quality and quantity of the food when... More
