“On a quick visit to our second home in nearby Touillon, we could not resist a visit to see Angélique and Régis at the Cheval Blanc. After a warm welcome, we sat at a table near the open fire and eventually decided on the Menu Gourmand at 46 Euros per person. A fantastic meal followed at a leisurely pace quite in keeping with Sunday lunch. The Saint Emilion Grand Cru (Chateau Grand Bert 2005 at 41 Euros) proved a good choice and we managed to save enough for the magnificent cheese trolley! The two separate deserts were delicate, especially the mille feuille of chocolate and banana mousses, and just right after the other courses. The usual standard has not slipped and we are looking forward to our next visit. If you are anywhere near Alise Sainte Reine, don’t miss probably the best restaurant in the region.”

“Angélique and Régis Bolâtre could not be more welcoming. Recipients of a Michelin ‘Bib Gourmand’ for many years, their restaurant is a hidden gem tucked away in the famous (or infamous depending on whose side you are on) village of Alise- Sainte-Reine (Alesia - where Vercingétorix came to a sticky end).

Refurbished recently, including the addition of air conditioning, the dining room is light and airy. In winter, there is a large open fire at one end of the room, providing a warm welcome on cold nights.

Service is excellent with dishes arriving promptly and hot. Dishes are artistically arranged but not at the expense of the quality and taste of ingredients. There are a number of menus to chose from, including à la carte – all reasonably priced. Watch out for the cheese 'chariot' as this is awe inspiring.

The wine list is ample, featuring many local Burgundies as one would expect, but also some great choices from other areas of France. The Côte Rotie is wonderful and not too expensive.

On the many occasions we have dined at Le Cheval Blanc, we have never failed to eat well. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that Régis trained under Raymond Blanc!

A wonderful restaurant and very affordable, being as good as many Michelin starred establishments but at a much more reasonable price.

If you are in the Côte d’Or, do yourself a favour and find out for yourself what Angélique and Régis, and their team, can produce”
