Why go
Au Clos Napoléon in Fixin offers all-day service from 9:30 AM to 10:30 PM daily, a practical option for wine-country travelers who need meals outside typical French dining hours. Limited public information makes it difficult to assess quality, but the extended hours and central Fixin location suggest it functions best as a convenience stop rather than a destination restaurant.
About Au Clos Napoléon
Au Clos Napoléon is a venue in Fixin with daily hours from 9:30 AM to 10:30 PM and a smart casual dress code. Beyond those basics, public-facing details such as cuisine style, menu format, price range, service style, and reservation requirements are best confirmed directly before planning around it.
What to Expect
Au Clos Napoléon is in Fixin, opens daily from 9:30 AM to 10:30 PM, and lists smart casual dress. There are no details here about specific dishes, a lunch or dinner menu, beverage program, seating style, or whether the venue is best for a quick stop or a longer meal. If timing, menu, or dietary needs matter, confirm the current offering with the venue before visiting.
How It Fits Into Fixin Dining
Because no cuisine style or price range is available for Au Clos Napoléon, it should not be ranked against other dining rooms on food, cost, or formality. Nearby or regional options to consider include La Table d'Hôtes - La Rôtisserie du Chambertin and La Table d'Éole, but compare current menus, hours, and booking details directly before choosing.
The clearest reason to keep Au Clos Napoléon on a shortlist is its schedule: 9:30 AM to 10:30 PM every day. For visitors comparing Fixin restaurants, that broad daily opening window may be useful, but the lack of menu and service information means it is worth checking details in advance rather than assuming a specific dining format.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Au Clos Napoléon reads as a quietly confident village restaurant that leans on place rather than theatrical ambition. It sits in Fixin at the northern edge of the Côte de Nuits, where the dining rhythm follows the agricultural calendar and local wines shape the table. The room feels unpretentious but thoughtfully kept, offering a rustic, cozy experience grounded in classic Burgundian cooking. Because the restaurant operates in a less touristy stretch of the appellation, the overall impression is intimate and charming—an understated, elegant option for someone seeking authentic, terroir‑focused dining away from the busier wine‑town circuits.
Best For
This is a spot that suits groups of friends and families who want straightforward, regionally rooted cooking without Michelin‑scale formality. The village setting and local orientation make it comfortable for communal meals and special occasions where the focus is food and wine rather than spectacle. Travelers exploring nearby domaines will also find it convenient as a base for dinner after tasting; its relaxed, local character is better for lingering conversations than for hurried meals. In short, it works well for family gatherings, group dining, and low‑key celebrations in a Burgundian village context.
Ordering Tips
Stick to Burgundian classics when you order: the signature dishes listed—œufs en meurette, bœuf bourguignon, and escargots—are emblematic of the region and clearly core to the kitchen. Because the writeup emphasizes a relationship between the table and the land, expect the menu to reflect seasonality; ask the staff what’s freshest or what’s being sourced locally that day. To round out the meal, inquire about wines from Fixin and the surrounding Côte de Nuits—local Pinot Noirs are repeatedly referenced as the natural accompaniment to this style of cooking.

Restaurant context
Au Clos Napoléon's extended daily hours (9:30 AM–10:30 PM) give it a clear logistical advantage over most Fixin dining options, which tend to close between lunch and dinner service. Without confirmed pricing or cuisine details, it's difficult to position it precisely against peers, but if it operates at a casual tier, it likely competes with Bistrot Lucien (traditional, €€) and La Table d'Éole (modern, €€) for travelers seeking straightforward meals between winery visits. For a refined Burgundian experience, La Table d'Hôtes - La Rôtisserie du Chambertin delivers polished modern cooking at €€€€, making it the better choice for a celebratory dinner.
If you're planning a wine-focused trip and need flexibility, early breakfasts before morning tastings, late dinners after a long day in the cellars, Au Clos Napoléon's all-day service may be more valuable than a more ambitious kitchen with restrictive hours. For serious meals, book La Table d'Hôtes or La Table d'Éole and keep Au Clos Napoléon as a backup for off-hours hunger.
