We absolutely loved every course we had here! We have eaten at Michelin star restaurants in France previously and this far surpassed those. There was a balance to every dish that we appreciated and some delicious umami flavours unsurpassed elsewhere.
Utterly recommended 👌

Very good french food with a Japanese touch. We ate dinner and had the 120 Euro surprise menu. I enjoyed every dish. The wine pairing also worked well with one of the selections being sake. Service was very good and attentive. Deserves the Michelin star and we felt like we got good value for what we paid.

The tasting menu is absolutely stunning and beyond expectations. Classic but with a little twist that makes each composition memorable. You discover the different plates as you go, and there is no bad surprise. Unfortunately, the sommelier ruins the experience. Since it is a surprise menu, he plays a key role in pairing the wine. I gave him a generous 100 euros budget for a bottle. The only thing he managed to match was the price limit of the bottle (98 euros), but the well crafted, somewhat academic wine was totally overpowered by the food. Short finish, lack of minerality. Moreover, it came to cold at the beginning to become lukewarm at the end of the 2 hours experience. No coolers! Cheap standard wine glasses for table wine. It is impossible to appreciate a complexer nose with this shape of glass. At l'Asperule food is terrific value for money. Wine is just the margin enhancer.

If only for the dessert alone, this calm restaurant is worth a visit. The melon confit dessert by the pâtissière is a subtle bouquet of flavours and texture. The duck appetizer is wonderful and might benefit from a better display. The main dishes (cod, veal) are delicious, just the companion sauces are rather overpowering. It is a pity one waiter rushed us for orders of all glasses of wine right at the beginning rather than letting us decide as the courses evolved, we also were not given a chance to even taste the wine before he poured a whole glass 😓. Other than that, it is a pleasant experience.

Every dish was in his own way perfect. Each component matches each other. Unique and interesting taste. Cook I guess like Japanese kitchen and everything has little bit Japanese components. When they served Kareaage, even toothpick was Japanese. Definitely cook deserves Michelin Star.
Unfortunately and again very unfortunately
(it’s second time in Dijon) I am facing perfect restaurant and very bad service. Arrogant waiter… Another thing is sound of the dishwasher during dinner.
Very nice and high level atmosphere. Prices are quite high, but you know why you are paying, just need to admit that there was only one compliment from kitchen, not typical for Michelin Star restaurants.
Nice experience, I will come back one day (Hopefully service will be improved).

Ratings are below (1 - worse, 5 - the best):
The overall food is very very good - 4++/5.
Service is bad - 2/5.
Atmosphere is nice - 4/5.
Prices of food and drinks are fine - 4/5.
Overall - nice experience.
