Origine

Origine is a Michelin-starred restaurant in Dijon rooted in seasonality and the Burgundy terroir. The restaurant uses high-quality regional products to shape tasting menus that pay homage to France and offers multiple set menus and themed tasting experiences, including a truffle menu and an exclusively vegetarian menu. Its menu program changes with the seasons and with local producers, and it received its first Michelin star in March 2022. The cuisine is contemporary French with a strong farm-to-table, plant-forward focus; locally sourced ingredients are central and the menu often highlights vegetables, wild plants, flowers and mushrooms. The kitchen balances Japanese technique and French gastronomic training with a bold, vegetable-forward sensibility that yields creative, daring and gourmet plates. Tomofumi Uchimura is the chef. Originally from Japan, he trained in France alongside three‑Michelin‑star chefs including Emmanuel Renaut and Eric Pras before settling in Dijon with his wife in 2020. Specialties include greater amberjack “Hamachi” (Ikejime) with white asparagus, caviar and salmon roe; foie gras and scallops with passion fruit and shiso; brook trout (Omble de Fontaine) in a bread crust; Quercy lamb (Carré d'Agneau) with peas and miso accents; a honey and saffron dessert (Miel d'Arceau, Safran d'Auxonne); and the Végétal & Local exclusively vegetarian tasting menu.
