Auberge et Bar à bières de la Billebaude

Au départ tout paraît aller bien avec bon kir et papotage avec un couple d amis
Puis l entrée est arrivée œuf en meurettes
Sauce aigre œufs durs
pour un restaurant situé en plein milieu de là Bourgogne c est très étonnant de né pas savoir faire un plat traditionnel
Tout le reste du repas est à ce niveau
Très très décevant

We drove over to the town of Givry last week in hunt of some wine to take back to Blighty and, after a bit of advice from the very charming girl in the tourist office, we dropped in here for a spot of lunch to keep us going during our arduous task.
It was pretty busy with a mix of both locals and tourists on the wine trail but we managed to find a table for two. It’s a comfy room which I’m sure would be very cosy in winter with lots of dark wood and a large open fire.
After a quick look at the menu and a glance at what the locals were having the plat of the day, which came with a choice of dessert and a ¼ of wine for 9.20 euro, seemed like a no brainer.
You get a choice of two plats and we both went for the cheese salad option which was a real winner. Lovely presentation, beautifully dressed and with four pieces of crisp and oozing campagnarde, yet again every bit of baguette was called for to mop up every last morsel.
For dessert it was a dark chocolate mousse which was served in a traditional French water glass; a large portion of light, velvety loveliness.
The food here is very much based on the traditional French cooking of the region, the other choice of plat of the day was coq au vin, and I would say this is no bad thing when executed this well. The wine list has some very fine local selections as I guess you would expect from even the more humble joints situated on the grand cru route. As the name of the restaurant suggests you are also going to get an excellent selection of beer to choose from should that be your tipple.
This is somewhere that I will be heading straight back to with pleasure when I am next in the area.
