| Chateauneuf-en-Auxois is
located in the Burgundy region, just a little north of
Beaune. This
restaurant was recommended by Rick Steves from
"Europe Through the Back Door" in his
"Best of France 1998" book. He suggested
having lunch there if they were serving Coq-au-vin.
They were and we did. What a delightful meal!
We arrived in the early
afternoon and asked the apparent owner/chef (who was
sitting by his fire place with his feet up and his cat
draped over his shoulder): Avez-vous coq-au-vin
aujourd'hui? He seemed a bit bothered, but
replied: "Oui". After a short wait
the best coq-au-vin we've ever had was delivered to our
table. Nothing fancy, just a very tasty meal.
For two, about $21 USD including a glass of wine.
Give the coq-au-vin an A+
as the best we had in Burgundy.
