Honey-coloured wood, regional antique furniture, a grandfather clock from the Jura… In this almost century-old venue, which has been the home of several generations of cooks, Chef Didier Denis and his team welcome you today to their restaurant and its simple, yet refined and tasty cuisine.

By the hearth in winter, amidst brown leather and red velvet furnishings, or on the patio in summer, under the arbour, come and enjoy a gourmet meal.

You will explore a traditional and updated regional cuisine guided by changing seasons.

Didier DENIS started his cooking career within the ACCORD group and later at the Café Restaurant de la Paix in Lyons.

He was first Chef Saucier (Sauté Chef) and then Sous-chef at the Four Seasons Hotel in Montreal, and won the “Mandarine Napoléon” Canadian culinary prize. In 1985, he graduated from the CIBM of Mâcon (France) with a diploma in oenology. That same year, he opened the “Didier Denis” gourmet restaurant. He started assembling a cellar of wines from all regions of the world. 

With one star at the Bottin Gourmand Guide, three Michelin fourchettes, 14/20 from the Gault & Millau Guide, he became in 1994 president of the departmental organization of restaurateurs. He won a silver medal at the first European Challenge of Regional Flavours held in Poitiers. In 1996, he took over the Hostellerie Bourguignonne in Verdun-sur-le-Doubs, which still celebrates the Pôchouse Verdunoise to this day. 

The Chef combines his two areas of interest: on the one hand, terroir and tradition; and on the other, modernised recipes, showcasing taste and products.
