La Maison des Cariatides

La Maison des Cariatides occupies a historic building. The house offers a contemporary, generous cuisine conceived around seasonal produce with respect for the environment. It prioritises fresh products delivered daily, working with Breton and Mediterranean fishermen and fishmongers and with market gardeners and local producers via short French supply chains. The wine list highlights organic and biodynamic bottles and cuvées by women winemakers; selected by the Michelin Guide, the restaurant serves principally tasting menus and a midday inspiration menu, pairing technical detail with a spirit of exploration. Set beneath sculpted cariatides in central Dijon, the dining room is warm, welcoming and authentic, attentive to décor and to table presentation. The cuisine is modern gastronomic French, marrying Burgundian, Mediterranean and overseas influences and using seasonal, high-quality ingredients in refined, creative preparations. Chefs Marie Cécile and Vincent Gomis met at Le Bristol in Paris; Vincent is originally from Guyane and Marie Cécile from the Nièvre, and both bring experience from prestigious kitchens and a stay in Saint-Barthélemy. Tarama de bar with leeks and andouille de Vire; line-caught red tuna with green asparagus and pistachio sauce; Saint-Jacques with vin jaune and black truffle; pigeon with foie gras and white asparagus; chocolate, coffee and tobacco dessert.
