Celebrated table
The story
Crème delivers a grounded French cooking style along 27 Rue Paradis in Beaune. David Maurin and Julie manage the counter next to their fabric shop, serving MOK roasts and grazeable plates until midday. The morning menu features an egg mayo sandwich alongside a croissandwich stacked with Jura cheese and house cured ham. Afternoon tables receive a chicken broth simmered with butternut squash and chickpeas, or a cabbage salad finished with smoked anchovies.
Daylight service winds down as local wines take center stage at this dual purpose venue. Chef Mike Hazlewood steps behind the stove following his tenure at Saint Eutrope, shifting the focus toward robust regional cuisine. He prepares an authentic caillette served with wilted Swiss chard and sheep’s milk yogurt. A rich meaty jus ties the dish together while the wine list highlights selections from nearby Saint Romain vineyards.
The space occupies a quiet stretch near Beaune’s historic center. Le Fooding included the establishment in its 2026 listing for maintaining steady quality across both day and night service. The dual format allows guests to transition smoothly from breakfast pastries to evening cheese boards without changing venues. Outdoor seating extends the footprint onto Rue Paradis when the weather permits.
