Between Lyon and Dijon, the town of Tournus hides in its Burgundy walls a little place dedicated to the pleasures of gourmet cuisine. On the banks of the Saône River, close to Saint Philibert Abbey, restaurant Aux Terrasses* welcomes those who love history, cultural trips and good cuisine! When you enter this gourmet temple, you will be led to one of the restaurant’s three dining rooms, enjoying a simple yet warm welcome. The décor, where red, beige and black are subtly mixed, offers modern and sober lines, creating a family like and cosy atmosphere. The crockery is delicate, the service attentive. When the sun is one of the guests, you will no doubt enjoy a table on the terrace! It is a wooden one, in the shade of large pieces of fabric, the atmosphere there is warm! Banquets, family parties, business meals, all are welcome in this peaceful haven. Chef Jean Michel Carrette is originally from Burgundy, and he really wants to offers guests a cuisine of the region, rich and authentic. But when he is at work, it is with passion and ease that he adds original touches to traditional cuisine, a bit of creativity for all gourmets’ greatest pleasure. A good deal of authenticity, a piace of the region, some inventive touches, that is Jean Michel Carrette’s recipe! With the ideal gourmet tasting menu, the Chef offers a journey from land to sea, from orchard to vegetable garden!
