Bernard Loiseau

Has anyone had recent experience of eating at Bernard Loiseau%26#39;s Cote d%26#39;Or?

I%26#39;ve always wanted to visit. And now I may have a chance. But given his passing away, wondered if it was still worth visiting?

Also, how much would dinner cost at a 3 Star restaurant?

Hi Caian,

We live about 20 miles away from L%26#39;Oiseau%26#39;s and although we haven%26#39;t ate there recently, we have been getting mixed reports from our friends about the quality of the food now that he is no longer around. Everyone seems to tell us that L%26#39;Esperance, Marc Meneau%26#39;s place in St Pere sous Vezelay is much better and also a delight to stay at. Hope this helps..... Dinner at a 3 star such as L%26#39;esperance or L%26#39;Oiseau will set you back somewhere in the region of 150 euros ( $225)per person without wine. If you are down near Macon, there is a wonderful one star restaurant there called Pierre with a wonderful menu degustation gourmande menu for i believe 58 euros. Well worth the detour. Hope this helps.

sorry, my last post should have said 180 euros not 150 euros for a meal at a Michelin 3 star restaurant....

Thank you so much for your advice. And since you are %26quot;in the neighborhood%26quot;, could I trouble you for any other recommendations?

We will be staying 2 nights in the area and so will have a full day to spend. I was hoping to drive through Cote Beaune to try to visit Meurseult and Montrachet. I%26#39;m still thinking of doing this but since we%26#39;ll be there on Sunday, I%26#39;m not sure if anything will be open. We will be there in August.

Any thoughts or advice would be very much appreciated.
