Where coffee meets corks. Nestled in the heart of Beaune’s wine country, this cozy, dual-purpose spot effortlessly balances espresso cups and wine glasses, spreading feel-good vibes courtesy of its owners. One door down from his partner’s fabric shop, David Maurin’s (ex-Caves Madeleine) well-honed roasts and grazeable bites go down a treat, while Julie keeps spirits high pouring MOK beans and Saint-Romain wines. Start your morning with a loaded egg mayo sandwich or a croissandwich stacked with Jura cheese from Ferme de Laisia and housemade ham using pork from Petits Bois farm. Lunchtime switches gears: lightly spiced chicken broth with melting butternut squash, chickpeas with bite and a generous dusting of Parmesan; a pointed cabbage and cauliflower salad cloaked in Caesar dressing, all draped with smoked anchovies; or even an authentic caillette with wilted Swiss chard, sheep’s milk yogurt and a rich meaty jus. By evening, coffee gives way to local wines, while chef Mike Hazlewood (ex-Saint-Eutrope) takes command in the kitchen. · Laszlo Dela
