Le Cheval Noir is superb and we had a wonderful evening, enjoying delicious food from the ‘joie de vivre’ set menu. Several other culinary surprises were given to us along the way, all of which were sublime. The service was impeccable. Highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Thank you

The young man guided us thru the Wine Menu & helped us choose an excellent bottle. A Pommard! The Food is outstanding. Restaurant design is refreshing.

This is a gem of a restaurant - the frontage gives no hint of how smart the interior and dining terrace are. We had a delightful meal, served by staff who were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. We loved it!

This was our first visit. We thought the choice of food was excellent. Our meal was superb. We had the heritage tomatoes, followed by the monkfish. The choice of cheeses was really good and our dessert with raspberries and strawberries was delicious. We had an amazing bottle of wine which was quite expensive but worth every penny. We would recommend Le Cheval Noir without hesitation. We will be returning.

We can’t say enough good things about Le Cheval Noir. Everything was delicious, you could tell they had cooked the beef bourguignon for 12 hours, it cut like butter with a sauce that we will remember for a long time. We started with burgundy snails and eggs cooked to 65 degrees in a meurette sauce. Both were exceptionally good. The service was great, attentive but not pushy. The restaurant was full but the atmosphere allowed you to have nice quiet conversations.

Our dinner at Le Cheval Noir was one of the most memorable dinners we had in our time in France! From the consistency in quality of the food to the outstanding service and advice regarding wine paring, we could not have asked for more. We cannot recommend this establishment any more highly and will certainly return.

Convenient location, cozy service.I enjoyed the local cuisine of Burgundy.The number of hall staff seemed insufficient, but the staff seemed to be working among themselves.

Food was very tasty. My husband claims food here tastes better than the one we had in a Michelin restaurant in Lyon.

Cheval Noir in Beaune is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. From the moment we stepped in, the warm ambiance and attentive service set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The menu showcases the best of Burgundy’s rich culinary heritage, but two dishes stood out above the rest. The **Eggs Meursault** were a revelation. Perfectly cooked, the eggs were creamy and rich, with the exquisite Meursault wine sauce elevating the dish to new heights. Each bite was a harmonious blend of flavors that lingered long after the plate was cleared. Equally impressive was the **Crunchy Escargot**. A delightful twist on a classic, the escargot was perfectly tender, encased in a crispy shell that added the perfect textural contrast. The flavors were bold yet balanced, making it a dish that’s hard to forget. Cheval Noir is a must-visit for anyone in Beaune, whether you're a local or a visitor.

The service was impeccable, the staff really helpful. The food was incroyable.. we both opted for each of the set menus and each dish out did each other. The cook on the dishes were perfect and the flavours shone through. We chose the wine pairing menu to accompany our dishes and each wine suggested paired perfectly with the chosen dishes. We could not fault this restaurant and would highly recommend. If you are in Beaune you could not do better than to pay a visit to Le Cheval Noir
