L’ecrit’vin

In the evening we’d booked a table at L’Ecrit’Vin, a very popular little restaurant close to the Hôtel-Dieu in Beaune. The terrasse is on both sides of the little cobbled road that circles the place, and the waiters and waitresses are cheery and efficient heading to and from the kitchen.

Our meal was delicious. Both Brian and I started with very typical Burgundian dishes. Brian had escargots and I had œufs meurettes, which unusually were cooked in white wine not the more traditional red wine. I actually preferred them this way, in the white wine and cream sauce. I then had poached chicken and Brian had a fillet of Charolais beef. Dessert was a pretty intense strawberry delight. Utterly delicious.
