Le Millésime
Remember the name Matthieu Mazoyer. He's the chef at this elegant little restaurant in the itty bitty village of Chambolle-Musigny, but we have no doubt he's headed for bigger things. Dining here is a revelation: each dish is perfectly balanced, gorgeous to look at, not overly pricey, and a tasty surprise. We have to say “surprise” because the English translations on the menu are so bizarre (“monkfish in virgin sauce” “crusty seasonal vegetables”). But the menu will be the only misstep in a meal that might include such unusual dishes as sweetbreads with apple in a tonka bean sauce or crispy Ardèche trout in a wild garlic sauce. The wine list, as you might expect from a place right on the rue de Grand Crus, is superb. The ambiance is elegant, with modern sculptures widely spaced, white cloth covered tables, and waiters in suits, but it’s not at all stuffy.
