What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Restaurant le Cheval Noir for its excellent value, professional service, and authentic Burgundy cuisine, particularly highlighting the escargots and set menus. While some find the welcome a bit reserved, the overall experience is consistently described as delicious and well-presented. The ambiance on the terrace is pleasant, though occasional traffic noise is noted. The wine selection is a strong point, complementing the rich flavors of the dishes.
"We had a really nice meal here! We had the 4 course set menu with 3 wines paired set menu. 2 appetizers were also provided for that we didn't expect or directly pay for as well which was a nice touch. Staff were super friendly and the food with the wine pairings was delicious! Well presented as well and also in decent enough portions that we were quite full by the end of the night. The escargots were my personal favourite and I loved the cheeses even though they lacked a bit in presentation. It is probably more on the pricey side (total cost was €150 for 2 people), but we had decided to treat ourselves. Booking is probably advisable (we didn't, but we're lucky enough to get a table). Would recommend though!"

"From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccably professional and attentive.
The dishes were exquisitely crafted—rich in flavor, beautifully presented, and a true delight for the palate.
Soft background music and an extensive, thoughtfully curated wine list made our evening so enchanting that we did not want to leave."
Nir Ben Moshe
"We went in 2024 and 2025 in June. I would rate it under 4 because of price versus quality. The food is good but somewhat pricey. They definitely have a huge wine selection, if you like burgundy it is it's best asset. I just have the free entree, red been fusion and a dessert. I had the beef bourgunion which was good."

Exploring the Beautiful Town of Beaune France
While we were disappointed with the tiny, dry snails in garlic butter and pastry shell, we enjoyed our other dishes. These included pan-fried foie gras with roasted turnip, figs, pistachio vinaigrette, and Banyuls vinegar; sautéed pike-perch, lightly deep-fried trout, fish mouse, and vegetables; and veal entrecote aux jus with celery risotto, cepes apple royal and coffee oil. We ended the meal with a cheese course (Comte, Citeaux, and a too cold, less than ripe Epoisse) and a number of complementary tastes including gougere, salami, smoked ham, and delicious Pommard on toast; eggplant soup with smoked salmon mouse and after dinner, a pastry with cocoa nibs, passion fruit, pineapple, and banana gel and jasmine marshmallow.
When in Bourgogne, Dine in Beaune – 4 Noteworthy Restaurants
Le Cheval Noir is located a short walk from the Hotel Dieu (Hospices de Beaune), the tourist office and the city center of Beaune. Modern with a casually elegant vibe, don’t miss the beautifully prepared escargots at the beginning or the crème brulée at the end of the meal. Along the way, I enjoyed sips of a lush Chardonnay and a generous Pinot Noir with falafel, roasted mushrooms with eggs “sunny side up,” and lightly seasoned fresh fish with vegetables.
