Hostellerie d'Héloïse

Hostellerie d'Héloïse is a family-run hotel and gastronomic restaurant in Cluny, in the heart of Burgundy, offering convivial, contemporary dining and lodging. Dining comprises set menus, a six-course discovery and reworked classics, with desserts chosen at the start. A large, curated wine cellar showcases Burgundian and other French regions, with wines by bottle, by glass or in a 50 cl carafe; owners visit producers and the site names suppliers: vegetable suppliers, a mushroom grower, local meat artisans, a specialist fish supplier and an olive oil producer. The house holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Two dining rooms—a veranda and a dining room—were renovated in 2015 and present simple, contemporary, convivial decor; a cozy salon bar and an outdoor tonnelle are available seasonally. Cuisine offers a modern take on Burgundian terroir: creative, refined and rooted in local, seasonal produce; menus evolve by season and the kitchen uses fresh market and maritime ingredients to balance simplicity and generosity. Chef Patrick Dutartre trained in apprenticeship, worked in Paris, Brussels and at mountain houses such as Les Fermes de Marie and La Verniaz, and returned with his wife Nathalie to establish and develop the century‑old family property in Cluny for more than ten years. Specialties: foie gras with gingerbread spices; Royal dorade tartare; traditional Burgundy escargots (12); roast veal loin (noix de veau rôtie); maigre with olive oil and seasonal vegetables; pavé of rump steak with gratin dauphinois.
