Dijon is a great dining city and L’Essentiel was our favorite. It’s a very popular, buzzy spot with vibrant decor and comfortable seating. They were very welcoming and service was good, especially considering that 3 guys were handling all of the tables. There’s a set menu and you can select 3, 4 or 6 courses including daily specials. My husband and I both started with the trout, which was delicious, followed by the quenelles (very good), then he had the veal and I had the chicken, both wonderful and very tender.

What a superb find in a quiet street off the busy tourist area! We had an exceptional meal by an obviously talented chef. The craft was in the way ingredients were put together, using simple ingredients the tastes were amazing, light and delicious. Honestly, a memorable meal and one of the best I have eaten! It was lovely to have the complimentary canapés, amuse bouche and chocolates to accompany the meal. The staff were friendly, although they could do with a wine waiter as there was a slight issue with getting wine to drink with the course rather than after it was finished, they were just very busy as the restaurant was full. Thank you for a lovely evening!

Asked for recommendations at my hotel for dinner places. This came up tops with the staff. Was told that they had sent many of their guests to this restaurant and all of them had positive feedback. Staff can speak limited English. Menu was in French. Ordered the menu du jour. Entree was a cauliflower dish, main was beef with some nuts and dessert was some refreshing peach dish. Very authentic Burgundy dishes!

we discovered this very pleasant restaurant at the reception. The kitchen is original and refined. However, we had to limit ourselves to not exceed 50€ per person. we took half of an entrance and the dorade portion had the size of my thumb. That said, the welcome is charming and we think we're coming back!
