Beaune Appetít - Le Bacchus Restaurant
In our 20 nights in France, Tracy and I had 20 good to great meals (not a loser in the bunch). A few of the restaurants were so good, we decided they warranted a write-up of their own. Plus it will cut down on the length of some of the trip report days.
On our second night in Beaune, we (along with friends Greg and Gloria) sat down for a delicious dinner at Le Bacchus. This small restaurant serves up some big dishes, including Le Burger, which has to be seen to be believed. And our dessert…Ooh La La! If you ever visit Beaune, be sure to make advance reservations for Le Bacchus. Check out our first great restaurant experience on our recent trip below.

merci beaucoup, Tom, pour les mots et pour les photos. Bravo!
[and if, in the spirit of your blog, I may make a suggestion, could you add the internet address of your recommendations to your blog? it saves time if every who is interested doesn't have to find it themselves].
[though now I understand why you didn't in this case, as they don't appear to have one!]

"“Charolaise” is a breed of white cattle found in the Burgundy region."
You find a good number of Charolaise cattle in Texas, but I wouldn't want to have them up north--hard to find in the snow.
That does look like an interesting burger.

"What food photography tips did Anna give you?"
Shoot from the side to get a more interesting photo of the dish...not holding the camera (or in our case iPhone) hovering over the dish. jamikins, bikerscott and Andrew are, in my opinion,a few of the best photographers on the Board. It would be interesting to get their input, or any other photographer. Tracy takes much better photos than me (I blame the wine).

We haven't have dinner yet. . .and WOW! Your photos have us salivating. Beef Bourguinon is one of our faves in France. That burger is ginormous! And looks delicious.
We had lunch only in Beaune. But Bacchus, the god of wine, seems to have influenced all of us in Burgundy.

Nice. Next time I stop in Beaune I'll remember for sure.
Alas Hamburgers are not for a fine dinner of a guy raised following the French etiquette for food.
Last time in the region we went to la Cabotte in Nuits st Georges. Had a spectacular porc iberique and we managed to find acceptable wine.

Oh dear, Tom, I am afraid with that photo of the burger you have hooked me into making Beaune a must do stop on our next trip. I would eat cardboard if it had Epoisses on it, and substituting that for cheddar, is a stroke of French genius, IMHO.

Really like your reports and photos and your descriptions, thanks.
This restaurant does have a Facebook page, not not its own website apparently.

I've seen that for several smaller French restaurants in the last year or two, I think it's easier to just have a Facebook page than register and pay for your own URL.

Christina, thanks. We found that to be more prevalent on this trip, too. The few places we booked on Facebook all responded within 24 hours (sometimes within minutes) or so to my inquiry.
