Le Sagittaire - Semur-En-Auxois

In the small Burgundy village of Semur-En-Auxois, this is a friendly, well-run, moderately priced restaurant in the center of town. The owner is a lovely lady who speaks English well, and probably several other languages. It offers typical Burgundian fare such as oefs maurette, steak...tatare, escargots and beef burgundy. They also have pizza, I guess for people who are French cuisine challenged.

We ate here on just one night. We found the food pretty good, particularly the oeufs en meurette. The portions were good but some courses were not as hot as they should have been (admittedly, not an infrequent complaint of ours when eating out in...England! .The service was quck but the staff could have been more friendly.

Bored witless with a slab of meat french fries that is served all over France we tried the pizza pasta option. Pizza OK but the pasta was inedible (it went back was taken off the bill). Service charming, new owner speaks good English;...go for the French option at this one Italy's a no go area!

Family-run café near the center of this old town with many free parking spaces. bland, but enjoyable menu and local wine. a good alternative to autobahn services on a long trip.

Had a nice meal here, good value for money, great location, excellent choice to arrange. I had a burgundy court of baked and cheese of epoisses, which was light and tasty. worth a visit.
