Restaurant in Meursault, France
Michelin-noted dining with serious Burgundy wines.
Le Soufflot is the anchor dining address in Meursault: Michelin Plate cooking from chef Jérémy Pèze, an OAD Classical Europe ranking, and a Star Wine List-recognised wine program in a former winegrower's house. Book midweek — the restaurant closes Saturday and Sunday. At €€€, it delivers strong value for the quality and regional depth on offer.
Getting a table at Le Soufflot is easier than you might expect for a restaurant carrying a Michelin Plate and an Opinionated About Dining ranking — it should be your starting point for serious dining in Meursault, not a fallback. The restaurant operates Tuesday through Friday for both lunch and dinner, and closes entirely on weekends, which is a genuine constraint if you are visiting the Côte de Beaune on a Saturday wine-touring itinerary. Plan around this early: midweek lunch during the harvest shoulder season, late September through early October, puts you in the leading position to experience Le Soufflot when the surrounding vineyards are at their most active and the kitchen is drawing on produce at its seasonal peak. Booking a few days ahead is typically sufficient, but given the limited operating window, do not leave it to the day before.
Le Soufflot occupies a former winegrower's house on the Route Nationale through Meursault, and that setting does meaningful work. The wine list at a restaurant like this is rarely incidental — here, it is central to the proposition. Chef Jérémy Pèze is working in a village whose name appears on some of the most sought-after white Burgundies in the world, and the wine program reflects that proximity with the kind of depth you would expect from a producer-adjacent address rather than a city restaurant sourcing from a distributor catalogue. The Star Wine List recognition, awarded in August 2024, formalises what the address already implies: if you are in Meursault and you want to drink well, this is a serious option.
The kitchen's editorial angle is sourcing-led modern French cuisine. Opinionated About Dining's 2024 Classical Europe ranking places Le Soufflot at number 232 in its category, describing the food as delicate, appetising, and gourmet. That framing , classical execution with modern refinement rather than avant-garde experimentation , tells you something practical: this is not the place to come if you want boundary-pushing technique in the style of AM par Alexandre Mazzia in Marseille or the conceptual ambition of Mirazur in Menton. It is, however, the right address if you want cooking that is grounded in the ingredient quality of its region and plated with genuine care. At €€€ pricing, you are paying for that ingredient provenance and for access to a wine list that justifies the trip independently.
The sourcing philosophy matters in Meursault in a specific way. This is Burgundy, where the relationship between what comes out of the ground and what ends up on the plate or in the glass is the entire point. A kitchen operating inside a former winegrower's house, in a village defined by premier cru vineyards, has both the motivation and the access to source with precision. The Michelin Plate recognition for 2025 confirms that the execution holds up to scrutiny , a Plate signals quality cooking that did not quite reach star level, which at a restaurant of this size and format in a small wine village is a meaningful credential, not a consolation prize. For context on what French kitchens operating at star level look like, see Alléno Paris au Pavillon Ledoyen, Le Cinq at Four Seasons George V, or Flocons de Sel in Megève , Le Soufflot operates below that tier in price and formality, which for most visitors is exactly the point.
Google rating of 4.6 across 453 reviews adds a layer of practical confidence. That volume of feedback at that score, for a restaurant with a short weekly operating window in a village of roughly 1,500 people, indicates consistent execution rather than occasional brilliance. For food and wine enthusiasts building a Côte de Beaune itinerary, that consistency matters: you are not gambling on a high-variance meal, you are booking a kitchen that reliably delivers on its brief.
Timing your visit well is worth thinking through. Le Soufflot is open for lunch and dinner Monday through Friday, with service running 12:00 to 14:00 and 19:00 to 22:00. Lunch in the Burgundy wine country has a logic that dinner does not: you can spend the afternoon walking vineyards or visiting domaines after eating, and the natural light through a midday service in a converted winegrower's house will read differently than an evening sitting. If your Meursault visit is wine-focused , tasting at domaines in the morning, eating at midday , the Tuesday-to-Friday lunch slot is the format to target. For a broader picture of what to do in the village beyond this restaurant, see our full Meursault restaurants guide, our full Meursault wineries guide, and our full Meursault experiences guide.
The address is Route Nationale, the main road through the village , direct to find whether you are arriving by car from Beaune (roughly 8km north) or on foot from the village centre. There is no website or phone number in our current data, so reservation logistics may require direct contact through a booking platform or the restaurant's physical address. Factor that into your planning, particularly if you are coordinating a multi-day Burgundy itinerary alongside visits to estates.
For food and wine travellers who want depth alongside the glass, Le Soufflot delivers a coherent argument: classical French technique, a wine list with genuine regional credibility, and Michelin-recognised quality at a price point that does not require the level of commitment demanded by Troisgros in Ouches or Bras in Laguiole. If your Meursault trip is built around the wine, treat Le Soufflot as the anchor meal , the kitchen earns that role.
At €€€ in a Burgundy wine village, Le Soufflot is well-priced for what it delivers: Michelin Plate-quality cooking, a Star Wine List-recognised wine program, and an OAD Classical Europe ranking. Compare it to starred restaurants in Beaune or Dijon and the gap in price is meaningful. If you are visiting Meursault for the wine, this is the natural anchor meal and the food-to-price ratio is solid.
We do not have confirmed details on the tasting menu format or pricing from our current data. What we can say: the OAD and Michelin recognitions both point to a kitchen operating at a consistent standard, and chef Jérémy Pèze's style is described as delicate and gourmet rather than portion-heavy. For a tasting format in this price tier in Burgundy, the sourcing-led approach and the wine list depth make the format a strong fit , but confirm the current menu structure when booking.
Yes, with one caveat: the weekday-only schedule means a special occasion visit needs to be planned around the restaurant rather than a convenient date. If your celebration falls on a weekend, look at Au Fil du Clos as an alternative. For a midweek celebration, the former winegrower's house setting, the wine list depth, and Michelin Plate cooking make a strong case , it reads as a serious occasion restaurant without the formality overhead of a multi-starred address.
We do not have confirmed seat count or private dining data for Le Soufflot. Given the venue is a converted winegrower's house, capacity is likely limited. For groups larger than six, contact the restaurant directly before assuming availability. If group dining in Meursault is the priority, Le Bistrot de La Cueillette may offer more flexibility at a lower price point.
We do not have confirmed dietary restriction policies from our current data. The kitchen's sourcing-led, classical French approach suggests a menu built around seasonal produce and regional ingredients , which typically means flexibility for vegetarian adjustments is possible but should not be assumed. Contact the restaurant in advance if dietary requirements are a factor in your booking decision.
The main alternatives are Au Fil du Clos (modern cuisine, €€€, comparable price tier) and Le Bistrot de La Cueillette (traditional cuisine, €€, lower price point). If Le Soufflot's weekday schedule does not suit your itinerary, Au Fil du Clos is the closest peer comparison in terms of format and ambition. Le Bistrot de La Cueillette suits a more casual lunch without the €€€ commitment.

A quick look at how Le Soufflot measures up.
Dietary requirements are not detailed in the available venue data, so check the venue's official channels before booking. Given that Chef Jérémy Pèze produces refined, technique-driven modern French cuisine at the €€€ price point, it is reasonable to expect some flexibility, but confirmation in advance is advisable rather than assumed.
Au Fil du Clos and Le Bistrot de La Cueillette are the closest local alternatives in the Meursault area, both positioned in the Burgundy wine country dining circuit. Les Murisaltiens offers another Meursault option. Le Soufflot sits above the casual bistro tier with its Michelin Plate and OAD Classical Europe ranking (#232, 2024), so if you want a more relaxed or lower-spend meal, one of those alternatives is the better fit.
Specific menu formats and pricing are not in the venue record, so verify directly. What the data does confirm is a Michelin Plate recognition for 2025, an OAD Classical Europe ranking of #232 in 2024, and a wine list noted for its quality in a former winegrower's house — the combination suggests the kitchen and cellar justify the €€€ pricing if you are eating in Burgundy wine country and want the full package.
Group capacity and private dining arrangements are not documented in the venue data. Le Soufflot operates Tuesday through Friday for lunch and dinner, with both Saturday and Sunday closed, which limits weekend group bookings entirely. check the venue's official channels to discuss group suitability; the former winegrower's house format may have constraints on larger parties.
Yes, if you are already in the Meursault or Côte de Beaune area. A Michelin Plate, an OAD Classical ranking, and a wine list built for a region producing some of France's most sought-after white Burgundy make a strong case for a celebratory dinner. The main practical caveat: it is closed Saturday and Sunday, so plan accordingly.
At €€€ with a Michelin Plate (2025) and an OAD Classical Europe ranking of #232 (2024), Le Soufflot is priced in line with what the recognition warrants for this part of Burgundy. The wine list is a genuine draw given the setting in a former winegrower's house in Meursault — pairing serious Burgundy with Chef Jérémy Pèze's modern French cooking is the core value proposition. If you are visiting the region and want one proper dinner, the credentials back the spend.
