What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Monsieur Moutarde is lauded for its unique ambiance within a historic mansion and its exceptionally creative cocktail menu. While the atmosphere and drinks are consistently praised, some guests note that the food menu could offer more variety. The brunch is a popular highlight, offering a generous spread in a pleasant setting.
"I had the loveliest time at Monsieur Moutarde in Dijon! I sat out in their gorgeous garden – such a beautiful and relaxing setting, the perfect spot to unwind. I was so impressed with their creative mocktail menu; it’s fantastic to see such interesting non-alcoholic options. I tried two and both were absolutely delicious and refreshing.
The snacks were equally wonderful – I especially enjoyed the gyoza (Raviolis Japonais aux légumes et au poulet, Duo de sauces Soja, Oignons frits, Coriandre) which were bursting with flavour and perfectly paired with the dipping sauces.
The staff were warm, attentive, and the service was impeccable from start to finish. Monsieur Moutarde is truly a gem in Dijon – I can’t wait to return! 🌿🍹🥟"

"Really nice atmosphere, amazing house and super friendly staff! The cocktail menu is amazing with different and unexpected flavors. The foot menu could be a little bit more variable"

"A great place to grab a drink in Dijon. If you’re visiting, this should be a definite stop on your list. The atmosphere is really amazing from chic indoor seating areas to the outdoor patio that makes you feel relaxed just sitting there. The cocktails are great too - definitely try one of their signature drinks, it just adds to the experience."

Arrival to Dijon Walk to tourist office to book tickets for Tour Philippe de Bon (try to book tickets about 1.5 hours before your train departs) Grab a croissant/pain au chocolat at Aux Delices de la Chouette (if you’re interested in sitting down for a full breakfast, I recommend Morning Glory Cafe) Walk the quaint streets and prioritize visiting Musee des Beaux-Arts and/or Musee de la Vie Bourguignonne Head to Cite Internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin to check out the displays and do a wine tasting Eat lunch at Restaurant Chez Leon Enjoy a Kir in one of the outdoor squares (a Kir is a French cocktail made of crème de cassis topped up with white wine; cassis comes from Burgundy) Head to La Moutarderie Fallot to taste mustard and purchase a souvenir Depart Dijon If you’re planning on spending the night, this is how I would spend your evening… Grab cocktails at Monsieur Moutarde or L’Archipel Make dinner reservations at Saison or La Table des Climats Best Time to Visit Dijon #gallery-6 { margin: auto; } #gallery-6 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-6 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-6 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } / see galleryshortcode in wp-includes/media.php / The best time to visit Dijon, France, is in spring (April-June) and early fall (September-October), when the weather is mild, and outdoor markets come to life. These shoulder seasons allow for exploring Dijon’s historic architecture, wine trails, and culinary scene with fewer tourists. Summer (July-August) brings warmer weather but also more crowds, while winter (December-February) is quieter, with cooler temperatures and holiday charm.
Where to eat out in Dijon Burgundy
If you like your cocktails served with finesse in a memorable location (a 13th century mansion no less), Monsieur Moutarde is THE place to go. Seek out the terrace area (go through the bar), it’s gorgeous and if you go early evening you’ll have it almost to yourself (I went at 17.30). There are little enclaves, a vintage looking interior and a long list of cocktails.
