As we make our plans to visit Burgundy, one of our first things that we want to know is whether Ma Cuisine will be open for us to dine.  The restaurant has varied days of operation, usually opening on average 4 days per week.  It is a MUST on our list, and we always look forward to the food and wine that Fabienne and Pierre will offer us, not to mention their smiling faces and warm welcome.

If dining at lunch, the lunch board usually has a 3 course prix fixe menu, made with seasonal ingredients.

If dining at night, the dinner board has a more extensive menu to offer, both menus written entirely in French.

All tables have fresh olives, cornichons, mustard, and bread as a starter.

On our most recent dinner, we enjoyed the fresh melon with prosciutto – a group favorite! In fact, Chef David Bull has shared his version of this staple appetizer with Port Salut Cheese and a Vanilla Muscato Gastrique, which is often prepared for guests of the Keeper Kitchen.

We eyed a dish we hadn’t yet tried, the escargots, and they were fabulous.  The texture of the snails was impeccable and you’ll notice that the sauce they were cooked in resulted in us savoring every last drop as a dipping sauce for our baguette.

Whenever we see the tuna tartare offered on the menu, we cannot resist and again, we were glad to have ordered it.

The Jambon Persille (Jellied Ham with Parsley) is a local dish that we love to try as it is made differently by many chefs.  Fabienne’s creation of this local special is excellent.

For our entrees, we tried roasted chicken, pigeon, and duck breast.  All were prepared with perfection and each plate was near spotless before we allowed the server to take them away.

We were so glad that Ma Cuisine was open during our recent trip.  Combining the well-prepared dishes with selections from Pierre’s beautifully selected wine list provided the setting for another memorable Ma Cusine meal.  Thank you Fabienne and Pierre.
