The Caveau sits attractively away from the hubbub and tourism of Beaune centre, but is only a few minutes’ walk from Place Carnot. The main restaurant is in attractive vaulted cellars in the basement - well lit and well ventilated.
There are two dinner menus,...at 28 and 40 euros. The former has three courses, the latter includes some better dishes and a cheese course. Overall the food was fine, and good Burgundy fare, eg oeufs en meurette. But there was little real choice on either menu and the a la carte offered almost nothing extra. The meat on the 28 euro menu was chicken, and on the 40 euro menu a bavette steak, not of the greatest quality, but fine. Desserts were also good - a decent creme brulée or a moelleux de chocolat, for example. Nothing was bad, but neither was it noteworthy.
A decent wine list, as you might expect, and prices not too outrageous. We spent about 45€ on a decent Montagny and a Chorey lès Beaune. Overall 270€ for four. About what I would have expected.
Service was just about OK, but slow at times, especially at the outset, but friendly throughout.More
