Restaurant in Levernois, France
Burgundy countryside Michelin dining, genuinely warm.
Table de Levernois holds a Michelin star (2024, 2025) and a Relais & Châteaux affiliation in the Côte de Beaune countryside near Beaune. Philippe Augé's kitchen is Burgundian-rooted with a strong regional wine list and a warm, returning-guest atmosphere. Book 4–6 weeks ahead minimum; this is a destination meal, not a casual booking, and it rewards being part of a wider Burgundy trip.
Book Table de Levernois if you want a Michelin-starred meal in the Burgundy countryside that feels genuinely hospitable rather than formally stiff. Philippe Augé's kitchen holds a Michelin star (retained in both 2024 and 2025) and delivers a Burgundian-rooted menu with a strong regional wine list to match. The setting — affiliated with Relais & Châteaux — is bucolic and unhurried. This is the right restaurant for a special occasion meal where the experience should feel warm rather than austere. For a comparable Burgundy fine-dining stop, Maison Lameloise in Chagny is the natural alternative if you want a more town-centre location or a longer multi-star pedigree.
Picture a dining room where the view stretches toward vineyard-green hills and the table is set with the kind of unhurried care that signals you are not being turned in 90 minutes. That is the opening frame at Table de Levernois, situated at 15 Rue du Golf in the village of Levernois, a short drive from Beaune in the Côte de Beaune wine country. The Relais & Châteaux affiliation tells you something before you even sit down: this is a property built around hospitality as a complete experience, not just the plate.
Philippe Augé's cooking is rooted in the region. The produce comes from the garden, the proteins reflect Burgundian tradition, and the wine list skews heavily local , which, in the Côte de Beaune, is an asset rather than a limitation. Past dishes noted by the property's Relais & Châteaux record include a barigoule salad with summer truffle and a tomato risotto, signalling a kitchen that can execute classical French technique with seasonal precision. With a Michelin star held across at least two consecutive years (2024 and 2025), the quality signal is consistent rather than speculative.
The atmosphere is what distinguishes Table de Levernois from the more formal end of the starred-restaurant spectrum in France. The Relais & Châteaux record specifically calls out the high proportion of returning guests and the family-run feel , both reliable indicators that this is a restaurant where you are meant to feel comfortable rather than tested. For a special occasion dinner, that balance of technical credibility and genuine warmth is harder to find than the star count alone suggests.
One practical framing worth considering: Table de Levernois is positioned as a destination in itself, not a quick urban booking you slot into a Paris evening. It rewards building a trip around it , combining a meal here with a stay in the surrounding area, a morning in Beaune's wine cellars, or visits to the Côte de Beaune vineyards that directly inform the menu. If you are already routing through Burgundy on the way south, the Relais & Châteaux record explicitly frames this as a strong stopover. See our full Levernois restaurants guide for wider context on eating in the village, and our Levernois hotels guide if you are planning an overnight stay.
On the question of off-premise dining: Table de Levernois is not a restaurant whose value travels well. The experience is inseparable from the garden setting, the regional wine service, and the pacing of a full seated meal. Takeout or delivery would strip out everything that earns the price point. Book the table or skip it entirely.
For broader Burgundy fine dining context, Troisgros in Ouches and Bras in Laguiole represent the benchmark for French countryside starred restaurants that require trip-building. Table de Levernois sits in that category , destination-worthy, not an afterthought. If you are comparing across French regional fine dining more broadly, Flocons de Sel in Megève, Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern, and Les Prés d'Eugénie in Eugénie-les-Bains are the relevant peers for a Relais & Châteaux-affiliated, Michelin-starred rural French table.
Also worth knowing: Le Bistrot du Bord de l'Eau is the more casual option in Levernois if you want a lower-commitment meal in the same village. And if you are planning broader activity around your visit, see our Levernois bars guide, our wineries guide, and our experiences guide.
Reservations: Book a minimum of 4–6 weeks in advance; this is a hard booking with limited covers in a rural Relais & Châteaux property, and summer and harvest-season weekends fill well ahead. Contact via levernois@relaischateaux.com or +33 (0)3 80 24 73 58. Budget: €€€€ , expect a full fine-dining price point consistent with one-star Burgundy restaurants. Dress: Smart casual to semi-formal; Relais & Châteaux properties at this level expect effort, but the warm, family atmosphere means you are not required to be in a suit. Address: 15 Rue du Golf, 21200 Levernois, France. Getting there: Levernois is approximately 5 km southeast of Beaune , a short taxi or car journey from the town centre or nearby hotels.
If you are deciding between Table de Levernois and Paris-based €€€€ options, the calculus is direct: this is a countryside experience, not an urban power-dining one. Plénitude and Le Cinq at the Four Seasons George V offer more formal service architecture and higher star counts, but neither gives you vineyards outside the window and a Relais & Châteaux garden. If prestige and urban convenience matter most, book Paris. If setting and regional authenticity are the priority, Table de Levernois wins that comparison clearly.
Within the Relais & Châteaux fine-dining universe, Georges Blanc in Vonnas and Maison Lameloise in Chagny are the closest structural peers: similar price tier, Michelin-credentialled, deeply regional, designed as full destination experiences. Lameloise in particular is worth comparing directly if you are routing through southern Burgundy , it carries more stars historically but sits in a smaller town rather than open countryside. Choose Table de Levernois if the garden setting and the warmth of a family-run operation matter more than maximum star count.
For creative French cooking at €€€€ where the cooking itself is the main event rather than the setting, Pierre Gagnaire, Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen, and Kei each offer a more technique-forward experience. Table de Levernois is not competing in that register , it is Burgundian, place-rooted, and hospitable rather than experimental. Know which version of €€€€ French dining you are buying before you book.
The only other notable option in the village itself is Le Bistrot du Bord de l'Eau, which operates at a significantly lower price point and without the Michelin credential. For starred alternatives in the wider Burgundy region, Maison Lameloise in Chagny is the most direct comparison. See our full Levernois restaurants guide for the complete picture.
Yes , it is well-suited to celebrations. The Michelin star, Relais & Châteaux setting, and the warm, returning-guest atmosphere make it a credible choice for an anniversary, birthday, or significant dinner. The bucolic garden setting adds a visual dimension that urban starred restaurants cannot match. If you want maximum formality or a longer tasting menu format, Paris alternatives like Le Cinq will feel more ceremonial , but Table de Levernois is the better choice if warmth matters as much as precision.
Possible, but not the natural fit. At €€€€ with a countryside Relais & Châteaux setting, the format and price point are better justified across two people or a small group. Solo diners at this level tend to get more from counter-format or urban restaurants where service interaction compensates for dining alone. That said, the restaurant's noted warmth and returning-guest culture means a solo diner will not feel unwelcome.
Book at least 4–6 weeks out as a baseline, and further for summer weekends or during the Burgundy harvest period (September–October). This is a rural destination restaurant with limited covers, and the Michelin star and Relais & Châteaux affiliation mean demand consistently exceeds casual walk-in availability. Contact the restaurant directly at levernois@relaischateaux.com or +33 (0)3 80 24 73 58.
Smart casual is the safe baseline , a step above jeans and a t-shirt. The restaurant's atmosphere is described as warm and family-oriented rather than stiffly formal, so you do not need black tie, but the price point and Relais & Châteaux affiliation suggest making an effort. If in doubt, treat it as you would any one-star French restaurant in the provinces.
Yes, on balance, for the right diner. The combination of a consistently held Michelin star, a strong regional wine list, a genuine countryside setting, and a hospitality-first atmosphere represents good value within the €€€€ tier , particularly compared to Paris restaurants at the same price that lack the setting advantage. If you are paying €€€€ purely for technical cooking precision, you can find more formally ambitious options in Paris. But for a complete Burgundy dining experience, the price holds up.
Based on available data, the kitchen's Burgundian focus and garden-to-table sourcing suggest the tasting menu format is the right way to experience the full range of Philippe Augé's cooking. The noted dishes , truffle barigoule, tomato risotto , point to a kitchen that works well with seasonal produce over multiple courses. For tasting menu benchmarks in French regional fine dining, Bras in Laguiole and Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern are the relevant reference points. Specific menu pricing is not confirmed in available data , verify directly with the restaurant.
The Relais & Châteaux record highlights a barigoule salad with summer truffle and a tomato risotto as notable dishes. Beyond those, the kitchen's stated Burgundian focus and garden-to-table sourcing mean seasonal produce and regional proteins are where the cooking is strongest. The regional wine list is a genuine asset here , ask for guidance on Côte de Beaune pairings rather than defaulting to a broader French selection.

| Table de Levernois | This is a true family affair where you immediately feel welcome. You can tell that by the number of regular customers. The restaurant is quite nice also. Not only is the cuisine of Philippe Auge is Burgundian, the wine list is regional as well. We remember the colourful barigoule salad with summer truffle and a very successful tomato risotto.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
Levernois is a small village with limited direct competition, so the practical comparison is within Burgundy. Loiseau des Vignes in Beaune (roughly 5km away) offers a Bernard Loiseau-group Michelin experience in a more urban setting. If you want a step up in formality and prestige, Maison Lameloise in Chagny holds three Michelin stars. Table de Levernois at €€€€ sits between the two in ambition and price, and its Relais & Châteaux setting gives it a hospitality warmth neither rival quite matches.
Yes, and it is one of the stronger choices in Burgundy for it. The Relais & Châteaux property, Philippe Augé's one-Michelin-star kitchen, and a regional wine list centred on Côtes de Beaune producers create a combination that feels celebratory without being stiff. The restaurant is noted for a high proportion of returning regulars, which signals consistent delivery rather than a one-visit-wonder reputation. Book the garden-facing table if you are marking something specific.
It is workable but not the natural fit. Table de Levernois is described as a family-run operation with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, which eases the solo experience at formal venues. That said, at €€€€ per head, solo diners should weigh whether a single-seat tasting menu in a countryside property delivers the same value as it would for couples or small groups who can split the experience across conversation and multiple hours. If solo Michelin dining in Burgundy is the goal, call ahead to confirm counter or smaller table availability.
Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead minimum, and further in advance for summer weekends or the Burgundy wine harvest period in September and October. This is a rural Relais & Châteaux property with limited covers, not a large urban restaurant that can absorb last-minute demand. Contact details are levernois@relaischateaux.com or +33 (0)3 80 24 73 58. Do not assume availability closer to the date.
Smart dress is appropriate. This is a one-Michelin-star Relais & Châteaux property in the Burgundy countryside, so the register sits between relaxed-formal and weekend-smart rather than black-tie. Men in open-collar shirts with tailored trousers will be comfortable; women in dresses or smart separates will be well-pitched. Avoid beach or resort casual given the price point and setting.
At €€€€, it is worth it if you are combining a Burgundy wine itinerary with a meal and want Michelin-level cooking in a genuinely hospitable, countryside setting. Philippe Augé's kitchen focuses on Burgundian produce with a regional wine list to match, and the Relais & Châteaux property adds value beyond the plate. If you are purely focused on prestige or want to compare against Paris €€€€ options like Le Cinq or Plénitude, those will deliver greater culinary spectacle. Table de Levernois earns its price through atmosphere and consistency, not theatre.
Based on the venue's documented direction, yes, particularly if you are there for a full evening rather than a quick lunch. Philippe Augé's cooking is rooted in Burgundian produce, and dishes flagged in recognition include a barigoule salad with summer truffle and a tomato risotto, suggesting the kitchen focuses on seasonal, regional ingredients rather than technical showmanship. The tasting format rewards that approach. If you are budget-sensitive at the €€€€ tier, check whether à la carte is available, as it may offer better per-dish value for shorter visits.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
