Le Juliénas - Fabrice Roche

We went there for my birthday, a great time with impeccable service and delicious dishes...

Really fantastic. Discovered with a gift from our daughter an excellent address of refined cuisine we recommend

We walked into this restaurant having no idea what it was about, just looking for good food after a day of rain. The decor was minimalist (not exactly my taste, but done well,) the staff very, very friendly (they spoke English) and it was casual - most guests (and they were all locals the night we were there) wore jeans. Upon reading the menu we realized we were someplace special - and it turned out it was a 1-star Michelin restaurant. We decided to splurge and had the multi-course pre-fixe - everything was delicious, far, far better than the meal we'd had at Paul Bocuse's famous place just days before (and I'm still unhappy about that meal.) The food was modern, not fussy - one of our favorite dishes was cold slices of veal marinated with veggies and raisins with a parsley/caper sauce - at least that's what I remember. We drank wines matched with each course, selected by our sommelier who only told us what we were drinking afterwards - what a great way to try new wines without having any pre-conceived opinions. This was one of our highlight meals on our 4-week trip to France this year. We highly recommend it.

My wife and I had lunch here with a few friends in 2008. At the time I commented the food deserved a Michelin star. We went for lunch yesterday, July 19, 2013 and it now has a Michelin star. There were several menu levels to choose from and we chose the 25 Euro that was perfectly sized for a delicious light lunch. The first course was a melon influenced gaspatcho style soup. Main was melt in the mouth salmon with risotto and the desert was a red fruits and ice cream. Stunning in all respects and with great style.

Très décevant. Aucun choix à la carte. Service lent. Nourriture correcte mais inutilement compliquée. L'étoile au Michelin n'est pas méritée. Prix excessifs. À ne pas recommander
