Maison Lameloise

It's impossible to sum up in just a few lines the story of this institution, whose star-studded career begun back in… 1926! Yet, Lameloise, whose interior features a string of warm, cosy dining rooms, each of which is appointed individually, is far from nostalgic. Éric Pras, former sous-chef to Jacques Lameloise, became head chef in 2009 when his mentor retired; as Éric puts it: "Tradition is the future." Faithful to the establishment’s founding spirit, as inspired as he is meticulous, Pras pays homage to Burgundy's terroir (snails, Bresse poultry, Charolais beef, Morvan hazelnut cazette) whilst keeping pace with his era and allowing himself a few inspired jaunts to the seaside. The excellent wine list, particularly by the glass, is the work of head sommelier, Sébastien Reymond.
