La Table des Climats earns its place in Dijon's serious dining circuit through a 800-label Burgundy wine list and regionally grounded Modern Cuisine, backed by consecutive Michelin Plate recognition (2024–2025) and a 4.7 Google rating. At €€€, it is the right choice for wine-focused travelers who want depth without the ceremony of Dijon's top-tier rooms.
Dijon takes its food seriously — this is a city where a restaurant's wine list alone can make or break its reputation. La Table des Climats, sitting at 12 Parvis de l'Unesco, earns its place at the table through a combination of regional cooking conviction and a Burgundy wine program that few addresses in the city can match. With a 4.7 Google rating across 317 reviews and consecutive Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025, this is a restaurant that consistently delivers at the €€€ price point. Book it for a serious dinner when you want regional Modern Cuisine with real depth — and a wine list that gives you genuine reasons to linger.
The address at the Parvis de l'Unesco places La Table des Climats in one of Dijon's most culturally weighted corners , the Climats de Bourgogne, the mosaic of Burgundy's classified vineyard plots, received UNESCO World Heritage status in 2015. That milestone is now nearly a decade old, but the restaurant has built its identity around it in a way that feels considered rather than opportunistic. The name is not a marketing gesture: it signals a genuine commitment to terroir-driven thinking, applied to both the glass and the plate.
The spatial experience here is pitched at intimacy over spectacle. This is not a grand dining room designed to impress on arrival; it is a room that rewards close attention. For the food and wine explorer, that framing matters. The room encourages the kind of focused, course-by-course engagement that makes a long lunch or dinner feel purposeful rather than performative. If you are traveling through Burgundy with serious eating in mind , and you have already visited Maison Lameloise in Chagny or are planning ahead to Flocons de Sel in Megève , La Table des Climats slots naturally into that itinerary as Dijon's considered mid-tier option.
Wine program is the single strongest reason to choose this restaurant over its immediate peers. More than 800 Burgundy wines on a single list is not standard practice even in Dijon; it reflects a deliberate investment in the region's full range, from village-level bottles to premier and grand cru selections. For a wine-focused traveler, this list alone justifies the booking. You are not going to find this kind of breadth at L'Aspérule or DZ'envies, and the €€€ price tier means you are paying for the curation, not just the room.
Connection between the wine program and the kitchen is legible on the plate. Chef Alexandre Clochet Rousselet works with local, seasonal produce and keeps the cuisine regional in character. Vegetables are given meaningful space , not as an afterthought, but as a structural part of the menu. This is a kitchen that takes the Burgundian larder seriously, which aligns with what the Michelin Plate recognition signals: technically sound, regionally grounded cooking that does not overreach. The Michelin Plate is not a star, but two consecutive years of recognition confirms consistency. For context, Mirazur in Menton and Arpège in Paris represent the upper ceiling of what produce-led French cooking can achieve , La Table des Climats is not competing at that level, but it is working from a similar philosophical starting point.
This restaurant works leading for: wine travelers who want a serious Burgundy list paired with regional cooking; couples or small groups looking for a focused dinner without the formality of a four-star room; and food explorers who want something with more substance than a casual bistro but without the full ceremony of Loiseau des Ducs. It is also a strong choice if you are planning a broader Dijon trip , see our full Dijon restaurants guide, hotels guide, and wineries guide for context on what else the city offers.
If vegetable-forward, terroir-driven cooking is your priority, this kitchen's approach to produce , regional, seasonal, given genuine prominence , makes it one of the more intellectually consistent choices in the city. For comparison, L'Arôme and L'Essentiel offer alternative perspectives on Dijon's modern dining register, and both are worth considering depending on your priorities for the meal. Burgundy's broader culinary tradition , the one that runs from Paul Bocuse's Auberge du Pont de Collonges through to Bras in Laguiole and Troisgros in Ouches , informs what serious regional cooking looks like at its peak. La Table des Climats is not at that tier, but it is clearly oriented toward the same values.
Reservations: Booking difficulty is rated Easy , you should be able to secure a table with a week or two of lead time, though weekend dinners will fill faster during the Burgundy harvest season (September to November). Book ahead to be safe. Budget: €€€, positioning this as a mid-to-upper spend for Dijon , expect a full dinner with wine to represent a meaningful outlay, but not the leading of the city's range. Dress: No formal dress code is confirmed in available data, but the Michelin Plate recognition and €€€ pricing suggest smart casual is the right register , avoid arriving underdressed for dinner. Getting there: The Parvis de l'Unesco address is central Dijon, walkable from the main train station and the historic centre. If you are exploring the city's wine culture further, our Dijon wineries guide and experiences guide cover what else is worth your time. Groups: No confirmed private dining or group capacity data is available , contact the restaurant directly for parties larger than four. Bars and after-dinner: For a drink before or after, our Dijon bars guide has the current options.
La Table des Climats is the right booking for a wine-serious dinner in Dijon at a price point that does not require a special-occasion budget. The 800-bottle Burgundy list is the headline asset; the regional, produce-led kitchen is the supporting argument. Two consecutive Michelin Plates confirm it delivers consistently. For a city that takes its gastronomic identity as seriously as Dijon does, this restaurant is doing the work that reputation requires. Book it.

Key differences to consider before you reserve.
The venue database does not confirm a bar dining option at La Table des Climats. Given its position as a sit-down regional restaurant at the Parvis de l'Unesco, a full table reservation is the safest approach. Book ahead and ask directly about counter or informal seating when you confirm.
The kitchen places vegetables prominently on the plate and gives plant-forward dishes a genuine role in the menu, which is a practical advantage for non-meat eaters. For specific allergies or requirements, check the venue's official channels at the time of booking — at the €€€ price point, kitchens at this level typically accommodate requests with advance notice.
At €€€ pricing and with a Michelin Plate in 2024 and 2025, La Table des Climats sits in a range where a tasting menu format is reasonable value if you want to explore the seasonal, regional cooking alongside the 800+ Burgundy wine list. If the wine pairing is your priority, the tasting format makes the most sense. For a shorter, less committed meal, order à la carte and allocate the budget saved toward the wine list.
The restaurant carries a Michelin Plate and sits in one of Dijon's most culturally prominent addresses, so presentable casual to neat business casual is appropriate. There is no indication of a strict dress code in the venue data, but arriving underdressed at a €€€ restaurant would be out of place.
Nothing in the venue record confirms private dining rooms or group packages, so contact them directly before assuming larger parties can be accommodated easily. For groups whose main interest is Burgundy wine, this is the right restaurant to ask — a 800+ bottle list gives a sommelier real flexibility for group tastings. Parties of 6 or more should book well in advance and flag the group size at reservation.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
