Le 428 - Savigny-lès-Beaune

I would recommend everyone to stay away from this restaurant. We have been treated in the worst manner that a hotel/restaurant could ever treat a costumer! We were called names by the owner Ledru Christophe! Please be advised if you want to book this restaurant or hotel. They should not be in this business

As explained in my hotel review of our stay at the Hotel Ouvree, any problems with table pisitii ing or anything else we 're sorted out by the excellent Head Chef proprietor washed dormwb with a very acceptable aperitif. Predictably the wine list was sextensive and superb with good wines at acceptable prices as well as rarer ones at appropriate prices. The Surprise menu was great for us adults but a little complex for our 14 year old children. I recommend a steak frites option could be introduced for them. Very enjoyable dinne, worthy of helping us relax after a day of driving down from London on the wonderful French motorways with the mnot do 'wonderful ' French drivers on the loose.

Very disappointing. I don’t mind the concept of the chef choosing the menu, but to serve as the fish dish on a menu at €68 one sardine was a bit cheeky. I like sardines, on a barbecue or in a beach cafe, but I don’t expect to get one in a supposedly upmarket and expensive restaurant. The meat course was a thick steak, but it was hard to cut and hard to chew, as well as lacking in flavour. When I complained, I was told it was “aged beef” well, it was certainly old! Despite my complaints about two of the five courses the dessert was excellent, I should add, the saving grace), no attempt was made to offer, for example, a complimentary cup of coffee, instead the whole thing was treated as a bit of a joke. This was so different to a recent experience in a similar Spanish restaurant, where the woman in charge was horrified to learn I had found the aged beef again) tough, stringy and tasteless, and to my astonishment refunded the cost of that course. I didn’t expect that at this restaurant, but the lack of concern didn’t go down well. We won’t be back.

Surprise menu of the day: the concept is user-friendly and avoids waste! The meal was very good, the terrace (very new) very pleasant, in the sun and quiet.

What a pleasure! We had the chance to have lunch this afternoon at 428. A chance, what a happy chance. The dishes are fine, gourmet and refined. The sommelier is an excellent advice. The value for money is quite correct! The welcome is very hot! We'll be back with pleasure!
