The best restaurants in Dijon

The best way to discover a town is through its landscape and rich cultural heritage. Museums, old buildings, streets marked by the ancient era of the Dukes: history buffs and the curious flock to these places every day. Each destination has its own identity, forged by the passage of time and individuals. But no city can be fully appreciated without discovering its gastronomic riches. Dijon has a wealth of restaurants, some more traditional, others more unusual. Burgundian cuisine is renowned, and during your visit to the city, you'll absolutely have to push open the doors of one or more restaurants. To help you make your choice, here is a short list of the best places in Dijon to enjoy a good meal.

Dijon l'Evidence restaurant

The Dijon l'Evidence restaurant is located in Dijon, at 53 rue Jeannin, and boasts a warm, modern decor. It is a bistronomic restaurant, serving gourmet cuisine without being a Michelin-starred restaurant. However, the restaurant has once again been awarded the Bib Gourmand 2022, which puts it in the famous Michelin Guide.

The restaurant has two dining rooms, one of which can be used for private functions. Formulas are available for both lunch and dinner, and prices range from €24 to €52, with a children's menu available for €12.

Testimonial

" We came here by chance and it was a complete surprise," said Jerome Roux after his visit to the restaurant in May 2022.

The restaurant Pourquoi pas?

The Pourquoi pas ? restaurant is located in Dijon and serves gourmet cuisine. Muriel, Julien and their team welcome you in a charming little interior, with the sole aim of letting you enjoy a good time with family, friends or even as a couple. As the room can accommodate a limited number of people, you can also enjoy a delicious meal in peace and quiet, a rare quality not found elsewhere.

Three menus are available: the Ardoise menu, the Gourmand menu and the Surprise menu, which must be pre-ordered. In that order, prices range from €36 to €58. If you want to enjoy a good meal in this restaurant, you'll need to make a reservation.
