Our story

A place that has evolved over the years

The restaurant has developed its menu and spaces over the years while remaining deeply connected to Dijon’s historic centre. The place follows the rhythm of its team and the different moments of the day.

People come for lunch, dinner, a drink or simply to take a break, with the Palais des Ducs just across the square.
