La Côte d'Or Review

LA COTE D'OR is located in a medieval building with a very retro feel. The food here is top-notch, and there is a Chinese menu, so communication is not a problem at all.

We were heartly welcomed with a aperetif at the bar. the atmosphere in the restaurant was exquisit. Enough space between the tables, so you were not disturbed.Now the most important. We chose the Menu Degustation with wine pairing. Especially the second course, which was the best foie gras I had so far. I have to say, I have been in a couple of two starred Michelin restaurants and up to now this was the most sophisticated cuisine so far. Compliments to the Chef!The wine pairing was well chosen and accompanied the dishes perfectly. However, here is my only drawback of this evening.Together with the first course of dessert "Fraise mara des bois à la tanaisie" a raspberry beer was served. It fitted well with the dish. Nevertheless, it was absolutely not my taste. Consequently I asked for a substitute. Unfortunately I was served the wine which was meant for the second course of dessert. Which meant I was offered the same wine twice , which I refused and asked for a different drink. This drink was also charged separately.I would have expected, that in such a restaurant for such a price the substitute was included.Taken together it was a great experience and an outstanding travel for the palate. I hope that the problem mentioned above will be dealt with differently in the future.

The menu has many enticingly composed dishes. The actuality was a little disappointing. Though everything was perfectly cooked, the tastes varied from bland to sweet to odd. Sometimes there was a particular part of a dish that was fabulous but the dish as a whole did not cohere. Service was excellent and thoughtful. The ambiance is restrained and pleasant.

We were delighted with the welcome and the whole thing in general. It was a wonderful visit with one of our children and his future wife, our future daughter-in-law. A BIG thank you

Our first experience at a two-star hotel for our wedding anniversary. A very warm welcome, sumptuous dishes, and tantalizing taste buds. A gift for our anniversary.
