L'Espérance Review
Chef Marc Meneau heads one of the greatest kitchens in Burgundy, serving fillet of venison with a wine and cacao sauce, cod fillet turbot with a sea urchin-based sauce, and other creations next to a stream and in a large, statue-filled garden. His luckiest diners lodge onsite in charming guest quarters. Accommodations, which vary in price, come in a trinity of delights: pleasant rooms overlooking the garden; full suites in a renovated mill by the trout stream; and rooms in the annex, the Pré des Marguerites, done up in a cozy style anglais. Note that the restaurant (reservations essential) is closed Tuesday and there's no lunch Monday or Wednesday.
