La Bagatelle

La Bagatelle is the bistronomic restaurant of La Chaumière in Dole. It forms part of a hotel complex with event rooms, a park and an outdoor pool. The restaurant has a heated, flowered terrace and garden. The team works with producers of trout, poultry de Bresse, shellfish suppliers and local affineurs to compose a menu that changes with the seasons. Set menus are offered (examples: €39 and €34 for three courses; midday two-course formula €28) and daily suggestions complete the offering. A relaxed, elegant bistro atmosphere balances conviviality and a gourmet focus. Service is casual‑elegant; the team wear polos, black trousers, trendy sneakers and aprons. Cooking is bistronomic and seasonal, rooted in the Jura terroir. The cuisine concentrates on local produce — river fish, regional cheeses such as Comté, Morbier and Bleu de Gex, vegetables and foraged ingredients — using simple, creative techniques that evolve with the seasons. Laurent Barberot is chef. Specialties: Ceviche de truite; Merlu de ligne with cocos de Paimpol; Persillé de lapereau with herb confiture; Planche de truite fumée; Assiette des affinés du Jura; Cancoillotte maison au Vin Jaune.
