Restaurant in Demigny, France
Michelin-recognised Burgundy dining without the big bill.
Cave et Cuisine holds consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) and a 4.8 Google rating at €€ pricing — making it one of the most accessible Michelin-recognised tables in southern Burgundy. Book it as a wine-trip dinner or special occasion meal if you want traditional French cooking with a serious cellar focus without the commitment of a starred-table budget.
If you are visiting the southern Burgundy wine corridor — tasting through Meursault, Pommard, or the appellations around Chagny , Cave et Cuisine in Demigny belongs on your shortlist. It is not a destination in the way that Troisgros - Le Bois sans Feuilles in Ouches or Flocons de Sel in Megève are destinations. But for a region where Michelin recognition at the €€ price point is genuinely rare, it earns its place as a reliable, well-priced anchor to a serious wine trip.
The address , 1 Cour du Wauxhall, Demigny , places it at a courtyard setting in a small Burgundian village. Demigny sits between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saône, in the quieter agricultural stretch of the Côte Chalonnaise, and the physical scale of the restaurant matches its context: intimate, unhurried, and oriented toward a dining experience that pairs naturally with a long afternoon or early evening. The spatial quality here favours couples or small groups rather than large parties. If you are planning a special occasion dinner after a day in the vineyards, the format suits that rhythm well.
The cuisine type on record is Traditional Cuisine, which in a Burgundian context means the kitchen is almost certainly working within the canon: preparations rooted in classic French technique, seasonal product, and the kind of cooking that has always made sense alongside serious Burgundy. The name itself , Cave et Cuisine , signals a direct relationship between the cellar and the plate, and in a region where the wine list is often the reason to visit, that positioning matters.
Demigny is not a grand cru address, but it is surrounded by them. Meursault is a short drive north; Santenay and Chassagne-Montrachet are in the same orbit. A restaurant that takes its cave seriously in this geography has access to producers most city wine lists would pay a premium for. We cannot confirm specific bottles or pricing from the data available, but the name and the Michelin recognition together suggest a wine program that takes the local terroir as its point of departure rather than an afterthought. For comparable wine-forward traditional cuisine experiences in France, consider also Cave à Vin & à Manger - Maison Saint-Crescent in Narbonne, which takes a similar cellar-led approach further south.
The Michelin Plate , awarded in both 2024 and 2025 , does not carry the cachet of a star, but it does mean Michelin inspectors found the cooking to be of good quality. At €€ pricing in Burgundy, that is a meaningful signal. For context, most starred tables in this region sit at €€€ or €€€€. Cave et Cuisine offers inspected quality at a lower commitment, which makes it a sensible first dinner on a multi-night stay, or a relaxed lunch before an afternoon of tasting. See our full Demigny restaurants guide for the wider picture.
Book Cave et Cuisine if you are: a couple on a Burgundy wine trip looking for a Michelin-recognised dinner that does not require a €€€€ commitment; a small group wanting traditional French cooking in an unhurried setting; or a solo diner who wants to eat well in a village context rather than driving into Beaune for something more formal. The 4.8 rating across 102 reviews suggests consistent delivery rather than a one-off spike, which is the kind of signal that holds up for special occasion planning.
Be more cautious if you are looking for bold creativity or a tasting menu format built around modern technique. Traditional Cuisine at this price point in Burgundy is about refinement and produce, not innovation. If the latter is your priority, the starred tables around Beaune and the broader region , including Arpège in Paris or Mirazur in Menton for longer trip planning , will serve you better.
Booking difficulty is rated Easy. Hours, phone, and online booking method are not confirmed in our current data , the most reliable approach is to contact the restaurant directly or check Google for current contact details. Given the small-village location and limited seating typical of venues this size in rural Burgundy, booking ahead rather than walking in is the right call, particularly for weekend evenings or if you are arriving after a winery visit with a fixed timeline. Demigny is leading reached by car; it sits off the main N74/D974 wine road between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saône. See our Demigny hotels guide, bars guide, and wineries guide for planning the rest of your stay. For experiences in the area, our Demigny experiences guide covers the broader options.
For broader context on traditional French cuisine at this level elsewhere in France, the benchmark tables include Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern, Paul Bocuse - L'Auberge du Pont de Collonges, Georges Blanc in Vonnas, Les Prés d'Eugénie - Michel Guérard, Bras in Laguiole, Auberge du Vieux Puits in Fontjoncouse, and La Table du Castellet in Le Castellet. Cave et Cuisine operates at a different scale and price point to all of these, but understanding where it sits in that continuum helps calibrate expectations.

Key differences to consider before you reserve.
It works well for solo diners. A courtyard village setting with a 4.8 Google rating from over 100 reviews suggests a relaxed, unhurried pace rather than a loud group format. The €€ price range means a solo meal stays affordable, and Michelin Plate recognition (2024 and 2025) gives you a credible reason to be there on your own.
Demigny itself is small, so your realistic alternatives are nearby: Chagny has Maison Lameloise for a step up in ambition and price, and Beaune offers several brasseries and wine-focused tables at comparable or lower spend. Cave et Cuisine sits in the gap between those brasseries and the €€€+ fine-dining tier, which is where its Michelin Plate recognition is most relevant.
Groups are plausible given the courtyard address and the venue's consistent Google rating, but confirmed capacity and private dining details are not in our current data. check the venue's official channels before planning a party of six or more — the village location makes advance notice especially important.
Specific menu formats are not confirmed in our data, so we cannot verify whether a tasting menu is offered. What the record does confirm: two consecutive Michelin Plates and €€ pricing, which suggests the kitchen delivers recognised consistency at an accessible spend. If a set menu is available, the value case at this price tier is strong compared with similarly credentialed tables in Burgundy.
Yes, particularly if you want Michelin-recognised cooking without the formality or spend of a €€€+ table. Two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024, 2025) give the meal a credible anchor for a birthday or anniversary, and the courtyard setting in a Burgundian village adds context that a city brasserie cannot match. Manage expectations on scale — this is a small village restaurant, not a grand dining room.
Specific dishes are not documented in our current data, so we will not guess. The cuisine type on record is Traditional French, which in a Burgundian village context points toward classic preparations rather than experimental cooking. Ask the kitchen what is in season when you book — that question will tell you more than any printed menu.
At €€ with two consecutive Michelin Plates, yes. This is one of the more accessible Michelin-recognised tables in the Côte Chalonnaise, and a 4.8 from 102 Google reviews in a village of under 1,000 people suggests the consistency is real. If you are already in the southern Burgundy wine corridor, the value case is clear.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
