The best bars and cafés Bourgogne

For six years now, this friendly bar-restaurant (aptly named!) has been the perfect place to stop off in the heart of downtown Nevers, just opposite the covered market. Here, at lunchtime and in the evening, you can dine on traditional, quality cuisine, or simply relax and enjoy a drink on the pleasant terrace, where the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming. We also love the regular concert and theater evenings that liven up the neighborhood. We really like it!

A beautiful cellar where you can treat yourself to local wines, but not only. A restaurant offering a simple but tasty menu at lunchtime, with traditional dishes enjoyed on the sunny terrace in fine weather. A small bar with a warm atmosphere. It's hard to resist this friendly establishment! Don't hesitate to stop in when you're in this part of the Nivernais region. You won't regret it. And you'll get a good idea of the local spirit: bon vivant and epicurean!

With such a promising name, COM' Chez Nous knows how to be warm and friendly, offering generous and tasty cuisine. Not far from the small stage where the artists perform, you'll appreciate the authenticity of the dishes. Just a few suggestions from the menu: chavignol salad with Serrano ham, baked Mont d'or, homemade chocolate fondant, apple tarte Tatin. Several times a month, theme evenings with chefs from the four corners of the world. It's a great place to spend an evening in Charente!

Au Café Suspendu is one of those places that are springing up all over France, and which we at the Petit Futé really like. A cultural café that's a real place for sharing and conviviality. Always lively and vibrant, the establishment regularly hosts themed events (readings, games, slam evenings...) while, on the refreshment and catering side, you can enjoy lunch with daily specials, pastries and local drinks. A warm, bucolic place where you'll feel like you're in a bubble. Don't miss it!

Couleur Café is the kind of little address we love, especially when it's bursting with flavour! Located in the heart of the ducal town of Nevers, this coffee-shop has captured the hearts of the Nevers population! Guests can enjoy delicious coffees and other hot drinks, accompanied by homemade sweets. For lunch, a comforting dish of the day is also available. It's a real treat for the senses, which are awakened by the slightest scent, the slightest taste, the slightest crunchy bite. A very pleasant place!

In mid-December 2023, Florent Bardin, a winegrower from Verdigny (Cher), opened this pub which is already livening up Cosnois evenings. In a warm and friendly atmosphere, you'll find a wide selection of beers and wines from his estate (Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé). But that's not all! To accompany the tasting, charcuterie and cheese boards are also available. What's more, there's karaoke every Friday, and a pop rock concert one Saturday a month. No doubt about it, we love this new place!

At the end of 2023, David and Simon Gressot opened the doors of this cosy tearoom, which offers lunchtime catering with a unique daily special. An excellent Sunday brunch is also available (reservation required). Above all, you'll love the fantastic home-made pastries, all made with fresh, local ingredients. At Le Petit Futé, we've fallen for the orange meringue tart and the lemon-green tea and white chocolate pound cake. Not forgetting the Sachertorte with apricot jam. As for the welcome, it's top-notch!

Treat yourself to a panoramic view of the city from the 360 Panorama Skybar. Day or night, the view is breathtaking, and invites you to linger over the city's rooftops. Two terraces welcome you, and in winter, it's with a lovely plaid and under the outdoor heaters that you can enjoy your meal, or in the "room", actually made up of a magnificent glass dome so as not to lose any of the view. Excellent cocktails and a fine wine list from the region can be enjoyed over a snack board. Savor the moment, it's unique.

Du vestiaire à la cave is a hybrid place where everyone can find something to their liking. We come here to have a drink with friends or a hot beverage. The wide selection means you can drop in at any time of day. We also take the opportunity to take a look around the store: ready-to-wear for the whole family, accessories, top brands... While some people are browsing in the booth or shopping for gifts, others are lounging on the terrace. Whatever the purpose of your visit, you'll have a great time surrounded by a young, smiling team.

Located in the lively Rue du Châtelet, Chez Maman doesn't go unnoticed. This restaurant and tea room is decorated in candy pink from floor to ceiling, and even outside on the carpeted terrace. You enter a neat, girly worldthat extends, with a great deal of humor, to the menu. The menu is sweet and savoury, with an American flair, led by the multi-flavoured pancake: poached egg, bacon, trout, salted butter caramel, maple syrup... As rare as it is notable in Chalon, you can eat sweet or savoury here continuously until 5pm.

After climbing up to the historic heart of the town of Autun, take a gourmet break in this delightful tearoom with its refined decor. The mother-daughter duo Annick/Axelle provide a truly enchanted interlude. While Axelle puts all her talent into preparing delicious sweets (entremets, viennoiseries, cookies...), her mother Annick serves with a smile. Each season has its own speciality. Here, we work the traditional way, using as many local products as possible. Cream, butter, flour and fruit come primarily from Burgundy.

The living room tutoie the sweet chocolate pâtisserie that provides the tables of the small room and the terrace, so that you can enjoy the qualities of the multiple quiches (lorraine, salmon, spinach, roquefort and nuts, broccoli and chèvre, snails and morels…), the salmon pie (6,30 €) or a block in the crust with green salad (4,90 €). The tray formula includes a green salad, 1 quiche, white cheese and the day pastry. Dessert transforms this simple meal into a feast: the treasure, the Métis, the chef, the delicious craquante… you leave it astonishing (and a little ashamed?). Tea is served as a priority.

More than a wine bar, it's a place of life and meeting, because as the slate says: " Better than Wifi to stay connected with friends there's appetizer ", the tone is given! A small room all along the length of the walls with the charm and the spirit of the bressanes. In the bar you will find pressure, coffee or a glass of wine from the region, among the proposals of the wines of Burgundy or Jura. The Café Prunelle is a bit of a coffee shop as well as, in addition to bottles of wine, the shop counts a large number of shelving filled with books and magazines in which you can easily draw. It is also possible to spend hours in this wine bar, which offers warm wine in winter and where it is possible to break the crust around a pie, a perched ham or tapas for a small sum. On weekends, the bar offers animations to its clients. A nice address!

Dressed all in wood, this pretty room invites you to comfort yourself with a hot drink. Tea time is the busiest time of the year. Customers mingle in a room that's never empty. The drinks menu offers hot chocolate, black, white and green teas, as well as freshly-squeezed fruit. On the solid side, the choice is between homemade crepes and waffles, and for a lunch break there's pasta, savoury galettes, mixed salads and croque-monsieur. We love the smiling welcome and the terrace overlooking the Saône.

Le 88, located on Place aux Herbes, is the city's hottest spot. Momo's good humor is contagious. He always has the right words and ideas to make the place as convivial as possible. A modern dining room, a young clientele, a very large terrace. On tables or barrels, you can enjoy hearty tapas such as camembert persillé or a foie gras plank, followed by pizza, a burger or a generous salmon tartare. The evenings are often enlivened by live music.

Come to Le Voltaire for a relaxing break over a coffee, a creative cocktail, a draught beer or simply a glass of good Mâconnais or Côte Chalonnaise wine, accompanied by a tasty appetizer board. While the days at Le Voltaire are spent to the quiet rhythm of the sounds of the moment, the afterworks and evenings are more festive. On sunny days, the terrace is also a popular spot. And for special occasions, Le Voltaire offers its 200 m² for privatization.

As in Beaune and Chablis, a visit to the Cité des Climats et Vins de Bourgogne can't end without a tasting at the fully-glazed Bar des Découvertes, overlooking the Saône. Treat yourself to one of the selected vintages: wines by the glass, by the bottle, from the Mâconnais to the Chablisien, via the Côtes de Beaune, Nuits and Chalonnaise! Quality snacks, charcuterie/cheese boards and regional jars, themed after-works...

L'Ambroisie, food of the gods according to Greek mythology, is an exceptional Chalon-sur-Saône patisserie created in 1997. Its tea room is ideal for enjoying entremets, delicious chocolates or macaroons in style. L'Ambroisie's decor revives the style of the building constructed in the early ^19th century. The terracotta floor tiles, the luxuriously molded ceiling and the furnishings plunge you into a highly refined Belle Epoque world. A refined, sweet gourmet break close to the city center and train station.

The Irish pub, run since 1984 by the emblematic Ginette and Gilbert, has inevitably been the HQ of all Autunois at one time or another. The establishment ticks all the pub boxes, from the decor to the live broadcasts of sporting events that thrill the crowds, not to mention the drinks menu (over 80 beers and numerous spirits) and the snack offer (croque-monsieur, sausages, cheese...). A billiards room and a large terrace are also part of the soul of the place. And of course, concerts and festive events are regularly organized.

L'Entracte, well known to the people of Creusot for its bistronomic restaurant that will delight the taste buds of gourmets, is also becoming increasingly famous for its bar where it is pleasant to meet with friends. On the terrace or comfortably installed in a cognac-colored armchair on the mezzanine, enjoy one of the vintages on the menu, a craft beer or a cocktail that you will gladly accompany in the evenings with an appetizer board made of homemade charcuterie and cheese. Follow the Facebook page to stay informed about workshops and animations.

It is a pretty cocoon with a chic decoration in grey and parma, at 44 Grand-Rue, which welcomes lovers of homemade teas and pastries. We sit down at any time for a hot drink, but regulars know that here we can also enjoy a homemade soup at first frost or a pretty bowl of ice cream with the most surprising flavours on the hottest shelves. From Monday to Friday, homemade waffles with chocolate sugar or even whipped cream delight adults and children alike. We like the small terrace, the soft atmosphere and the smile of Myriam Chapey, the very pleasant owner of the place. Finally we can also leave with our tea pack also available on the menu. A very nice address.

This establishment, which was resumed at the end of 2013 by a new boss, changed: finished the Irish atmosphere, "out" also, the strict pub function: here you can also buy wine to take (between 20 € and 80 € the bottle) and this is probably the most worthy aspect. The boss who constantly searches for new origins in local wines is provided at a vineyard in Beaune. If you come at the right time, you can find here a vosne-romanée 1998, or some good pommare. No? Ah! You are not very "wine"? Let's do it, the uncovers boss of rare whiskies that enrich your knowledge. Nor is it? Then choose a beer, there is a suitable choice. The hotel also serves a market kitchen at any time (charcuterie plates, andouillettes, carbonara pasta, fresh salads…). None of what you'll have decided will stop you from playing a baby, playing chess, darts, billiards… waiting on Saturday, Saturday night or karaoke (twice in the month). This place also organizes private and even very private evenings.

All new and beautiful, the Au Bureau pub-brewery has opened its doors jointly with those of the Mégarama, and for good reason: it is located on the esplanade of the cinema complex and it is a godsend. In a setting inspired by London's very chic and authentic pubs, Jérémie Chrétien and Olivier Carel opened the doors of this superb place that will seduce customers of all ages. They will appreciate the proximity of the venue, allowing them to have a drink before or after a movie session without having to move their vehicle, as well as the atmosphere of the place. Leather armchairs, subdued lights, large dining room or more intimate corners, the 250 ^m2 space can accommodate up to 150 place settings. We will appreciate the wide range of time available to really find a solution for all tastes, desires and genres, for a one-to-one drink, as well as for an afterwork around an aperitif board, or a broadcast evening of a sporting event. A simple brasserie menu will complete this beautiful offer, as will the concert atmospheres or theme evenings organised from time to time...

On the Via Agrippa, the site of Chaintré is famous since ancient times and it is not surprising that the Cave de Chaintré is itself built on the site of a Gallo-Roman villa which was one of the largest wineries in the region. At Chaintré, it is not only the history and views that are exceptional, there is also a vineyard ideally exposed in the last ramparts of Macon, overlooking the plain of the Saône. The Cave Chaintré founded in 1928, is one of the oldest in France and, to our taste, one of the best. In respect of the Burgundian tradition, it offers outstanding white wines from Chardonnay, flourishing on clay-limestone soils. This human-sized cellar where you are always received with a smile for the tasting, produces excellent Pouilly-Fuissé is regularly awarded medals, of which are a Cantrius, a Chevrieres or a Clos Reyssier. Among the other wines not miss to discover, in a large modern and bright shop, in shades of ocher and green apple are: Pouilly - Vinzelles, the Saint-Véran, the Macon - Fuissé and Mâcon - Chaintré for whites. The cellar also offers almost all the Beaujolais crus in red (Juliénas, St Amour, Chénas, Chiroubles, Fleurie, Morgon, Moulin à Vent, Bouilly and Beaujolais Villages). The winery also produces a rosé wine and a delicious Crémant de Bourgogne. The shop also presents some local products to complete its gourmet basket: Marc de Bourgogne, blackcurrant cream, honey, jams... Possibility to taste the wines, with comments in French and English.

After taking part in TF1's "SOS Villages" operation, the Casabroc Café opened its doors under the impetus of Valérie Benardin to breathe new life into the small village of Charbonnat. Recycled materials and a friendly atmosphere are the order of the day in this cosy café, second-hand goods shop, tea room and second-hand clothes and books resale. Themed evenings are also organized, as well as food-truck evenings where you can sample dishes from local artisans. A great initiative that we salute!

Chez Virgule is open from early morning until very late at night and the following morning. During the day, we serve breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. But the bar is open at all hours. Serious business takes place in the cellar, with its festive atmosphere, wine bar, cocktails, beers and frequent Happy Hours, where you can relax and have fun. Beware, however, that on the evenings when rugby or other matches are being broadcast, there's no room for music! A place for sharing and conviviality, where it's good to take a break.

It is on the Place Saint-Vincent, in the chic and cosy atmosphere of the Cathé that the people of Chalonnais like to end their evenings. People come to have an aperitif at the end of the afternoon, they come to have dinner before continuing the evening or they meet to party until the end of the night. La Cathé is known for its numerous animations. Why not try the karaoke night on the 3rd Thursday of the month? Conviviality, good mood, laughter... the regulars mix with curious visitors for a unique moment. That's the atmosphere of the Cathé!

"Bierexquise and conviviali-thé" are the watchwords of the Papyllon. As well known locally for the strong personality of its owner, Wolfgang, as for its impressive beer list, the Papyllon is a landmark address just outside Cluny on the edge of the greenway. A large parking lot, a large room and a vast terrace beside the cycle path: everything is designed to invite you to take a break. In addition to a hundred or so beers, mainly German and Belgian, you'll find a wide range of fruit juices, non-alcoholic cocktails, local wines, teas and organic herbal teas.

La Cave du Caboulot, created in 2022 by Lauriane Lava, is the fruit of a passion for wine developed by the owner in her parents' restaurant and during her studies in Beaune. The address is brimming with treasures from every region, and also boasts a wine bar. The atmosphere is very friendly, especially during the regularly organized theme evenings (cider night, Argentina night, St. Patrick's day, concerts...). Aperitif platters of artisanal cheeses and charcuterie round out the menu.

The harbor master's office in Verdun sur le Doubs is not only a place of services for boaters. Nathalie Da Rold who took over the establishment in 2022 has made it attractive to all. The bar, its completely redecorated room with new furniture in a marine spirit, its terrace and its pergola invite you to have a refreshment, an artisanal ice cream or even a nice aperitif or a small meal. The harbourmaster's office is back, and with a superb view on the Saône and the port!

Facing the cathedral, you feel at home here! This tea room offers cakes and pies, homemade creams and compotes as well as hot chocolates or Mariage Frères and Dammann teas. And if we come for lunch, we will be tempted by the quiches and savory pies, the bowls, the veloutés, again home-made. The day we came, we enjoyed a carrot velouté with passion fruit and coconut milk, then a sweet potato pie with Morteau sausage and gorgonzola. Note that exhibitions are also proposed.

Facing the Cordeliers parking lot, this establishment offers you its beers, wines and cocktails "of the moment". There are also new and unknown names. A small restaurant is also available to accompany your break with friends or family, at very reasonable prices. As for the reception, it is always friendly. Moreover, as soon as the first rays of sunshine appear, the terrace is always full. Especially since the animations are regular, between concerts and sports broadcasts. The opportunity to have a very pleasant stop in the city center.

On the lively and central Place des Cordeliers, several bars are located next to each other, which, in summer and winter, attract many customers on their terraces. The Subway (or Sub') is one of them. Here, all ages and all styles mix: from families to sports fans, from students to tourists... Regularly, sports broadcasts and concerts are offered. In winter, the two vaulted cellars with their lounge atmosphere are just as pleasant. A very popular address for the locals, starting with the party people!

Capricorn, bottom "bar sympathetic"! A little hidden in a small street in the city, not far from Saint-Germain Abbey. Le is a pub that truly enjoys both winter and summer. The boss always smiles and the atmosphere is good. A small quiet corner at some times and more festive to others. A few steps from Auxerre Lycées, young people can also take it as a point of reference. Capricorn, think about it, just push the door to adopt it! We love.

Opened in the spring of 2011, the Sahel is the only Moroccan tea lounge, which is a bar in Auxerre. Open from 15 pm, it's a nice place for those who love the lighting atmosphere with a little bit of change and also the pleasure of enjoying the oriental version of the mint tea. Located in the Saint-Pierre district, instead of an old design store, the atmosphere is guaranteed to spend a good evening or a relaxing time.

La Maison de Prunelle is one of those atypical places that it is always nice to visit. Here you will find homemade fruit juices (watermelon, peach, kiwi, melon...), smoothies, ice creams, cookies, as well as a pleasant table d'hôtes. But it is also a nice little shop where customers will appreciate the jewels, bags, tassels... Imported from Asia or home-made, it is a real girly and colourful workshop to enjoy yourself at low prices. And the mistress of the place also provides beauty care by appointment. We love it!

A stage on the water, that's what has been missing for a long time in the cultural life of the area. It is now a reality thanks to the barge La Scène des quais which, on the quays of the Yonne, offers a varied program for all audiences. Managed by the association ARTEM, the place welcomes one-man/women shows, concerts, plays, shows for children or improv evenings... The program is always attractive, and the whole is signed by emerging artists, often amateurs. We can even privatize the boat for our parties with friends or family. We love it!

At the foot of the Tour de l'Horloge, in addition to delicious macaroons and homemade chocolates, treat yourself to one of the many teas on offer, and enjoy them on the terrace in fine weather or indoors. And don't forget to admire the walls of the ancient Roman castrum. You won't see them anywhere else! If you look down, you can even see the foundations of the Tower through a window in the floor. A second outlet has recently opened on rue de Paris.

For many years now, Le Patio has been a fixture in the life of Senon. Located near the covered market, this bar and salad bar with a warm neighbourhood atmosphere regularly offers concerts, themed evenings and exhibitions by local artists. You can also appreciate its inner courtyard with its arbour. And the food served there is always of good quality. On weekends, the establishment opens until 2am. With the key to a necessarily festive atmosphere! We really like it.

Behind the covered market, in the lively Rue du Plat d'Étain, home to numerous bars and restaurants, Chez Max is a wine and champagne bar. It's also a cosy tea room. Afterworks and relaxation breaks are on offer, with a good choice of beers and a snack of croque-monsieur and other cheese or charcuterie boards to share with friends. All in a friendly atmosphere. A great place to relax before or after your visit to the nearby Sens museums.

Why not round off your visit with a tasting at the Ponti'Bar, the wine bar in the former monastic cellar. With its charming terrace overlooking the bucolic Jardin Serein, you can treat yourself to one of the selected vintages, a tribute to all the climates of Burgundy. Wines by the glass or bottle, from Chablisien to Mâconnais, via Côtes de Beaune, Nuits and Chalonnaise! Snacks, after-works and Sunday lunches.

In the heart of downtown Avallon, close to the market, L'Antirouille is a nice and warm night bar that offers its customers to spend festive and relaxed evenings. A decoration where barrels and cans, old pubs and plates on the wall are in harmony, in a musical atmosphere and a clientele of all ages! The ideal place for a night out with friends in the small medieval town. On Saturdays, theme nights (latino, mojito, salsa and others...) are offered as well as concerts and sports broadcasts.

Fancy a cosy and gourmet moment? Right next to the Roy bakery (and for good reason, it's the same establishment!),this tea room located near the quays of the Yonne is perfect for breakfast, lunch or a gourmet break in a cosy and warm atmosphere. The Lunch formula will allow you to choose between 4 courses and the desserts of the day. As for the multitude of teas that will surround you, it will certainly make you want to order a teapot as well as some homemade chocolates and pastries.

If you are looking for a place full of life and animation to settle down in the heart of downtown, look no further: go to O Divin. A very nice wine bar and very popular with the Sénonais. Numerous animations are proposed there all year long, like jazz or karaoke evenings, but also Barbecue Party, Beaujolais nouveau or Saint Patrick's day, for example. We really like the warm atmosphere, and the small food proposed. Without forgetting the good choice of cocktails. You will have understood, we recommend it to you!

Located at the foot of the cathedral, L'Angelus is a wine and bubbles bar that will delight epicureans. First of all, a very cosy setting, then a rich wine and champagne list full of flavors to discover. To accompany the tasting, the establishment also proposes boards, pâtés from small producers, and sweet treats, so that you don't leave with hunger in your stomach! Also, if you are passionate, tasting workshops are regularly organized. A nice address to end the evening. Or to start it!

Already present in Paris, Lille, Reims, Orléans and Rennes, this is a brand with an original concept: on arrival, the customer receives a card to be loaded with the desired amount. It is then up to them to help themselves to the beer, wine and shooters dispensers hidden in old gas pumps. All this in a warm, colorful and vintage setting. With even a small petanque court inside! To nibble, some boards are also proposed. To note also excellent cocktails. And games and DJ evenings. In short, we love it!

In this former flour mill, the beers are home-brewed, a concept of micro brewery created by brothers Pierre-Elie and Quentin, master brewer for ten years. Located in front of the Cité de la Gastronomie and at the end of the rue Monge, discover this large space with the bar on the side, the visible tanks - 6 fermenters that allow to produce 5 different beers - and large tables to have a drink with friends in a vegetalized decor, with an industrial style, which reminds the Alsatian and German breweries. In addition to the 5 permanent beers on the menu, strong alcohols, wines, syrups, fruit juices and boards are offered. A singular place whose name refers to the film in which Jean Gabin and Jean-Paul Belmondo become friends over several glasses... In addition to being a friendly micro-brasserie, Un Singe en Hiver offers an eclectic cultural program, with its 150 m² exhibition space on the first floor dedicated to digital arts and contemporary music: one concert per month is scheduled, to be attended without moderation

Away from the city center is this bar with a name that announces the color! The good mood reigns here, supported by a menu that invites the sun. Empanadillas, planchas, burgers, but also original barbecues at the table (for two people and on reservation) are proposed on the menu! All of this is accompanied by a large choice of beers, wines and cocktails. Here, it's a mojito party with no less than 15 possible choices, from the most classic to the banana mojito or the "Bomba Latina 74°". Latino's Del Mundo is a real invitation to travel!

Since its opening in spring 2023, Bonne Maison has carved out a place for itself in the heart of Charolles. With a keen sense of hospitality, Tristan Barreiros, former restaurateur in Paris and creator of the brand, shares his love of good produce, collected from local producers or homemade. One of the hallmarks of the place is an original pastis, homemade in the farm workshop of La Guiche. On the terrace, on the pretty rattan chairs, you can enjoy tasting the store's treasures. A fine address for a gourmet break.
