Cédric Burtin

This tranquil watermill by a millstream abuts a cottage garden. After growing up in the Charolais countryside, chef Cédric Burtin, who trained with world-calibre Lyon chefs of the ilk of Paul Bocuse and Pierre Orsi, has come into his own as he explores the cornucopia of Burgundy. In addition to a savvily mastered creative streak, this authentic, delicate chef has a flair for adding a playful spin to the region’s ingredients and recipes. His surprise menu rolls out delicacies such as whitefish from Lake Geneva, confit and smoked with whitefish charcuterie, runner beans and a jus made from fishbones and cumin or artichoke, confit leaf by leaf with coffee and a citrus-laced artichoke emulsion. Slick, swish service and handsome terrace.
