The venue was resurrected by Mathieu Bucher, the son of the great French restorer Jean-Paul Bucher. Now, this brewery/brassery is riding high on success during a time when most other venues of its kind are becoming more and more extinct.
We love such simple yet tantalising dishes as eggs meurette au Fleurie (€13), six wild Burgundy snails (€11), the filets of herring with small rattes and red onions (€12) and most particularly the house special Belle Aurore, this pâté in a crust with foie gras, pork throat, Magret, guinea fowl enriched with blond jelly - a true must.
Whether you go there for a glass of wine and to admire the architecture of this unique venue or for a proper meal, one is for sure its well-worth the visit.
