I basically chose to DZ'envies, #45 on Tripadvisor, because of a Wall Street Journal article that also recommended Ma Cuisine in Beaune for the bœuf bourguignon dish. This restaurant is run by a former Michelin restaurant starred chef. Its not-so-high ratings made me think twice, but a local who was into food and wine also recommended it as the one place to go to in Dijon, more for its plat du jour, or daily special, but that was good enough for me.
True enough, I got the bœuf bourguignon. The beef cheek was tender but not as great as the one at Ma Cuisine. The sauce though was delicious and thick. It came with a side of mashed potatoes, well made. Enjoyed the dish and would say if you cannot find it anywhere else this is a solid place to have it.
Metroman got the andouillette, which according to Wikipedia is a coarse-grained sausage made with pork (or occasionally veal), intestines or chitterlings, pepper, wine, onions, and seasonings. Neither of us liked it too much. It did come with a side of French fries which were nice to dip in the
bœuf bourguignon sauce, as well as the couple of other dipping sauces we got.
The restaurant was very nice and modern looking, plenty of light, and it was a nice change from dark romantic French restaurants.
