Aux Crieurs de Vin

$
This popular bistro-cum-wineshop is often packed, and with good reason: modern dishes share the chalkboard menu with classic bistro choices like homemade terrine and andouillette. The wine selection is excellent; natural wines and Champagnes are a specialty. The sparse decor (picture exposed brick walls and mismatched tables) make this more of a lunchtime spot than a romantic dinner venue.

Restaurant Christian Quenel

$$$$

On the main square of Flagey-Echézeaux, a stellar wine village lying a few kilometers southeast of Clos de Vougeot, this inconspicuous culinary haven fills up with locals out for a quiet, French-inspired terroir-driven meal. Expect creative twists on Burgundy classics such as oeuf parfait with a Crémant de Bourgogne sauce or snails served with a light fennel-infused sauce. The wine list is, of course, excellent.
