The story
At 7 place Beaubernard in Montceau-les-Mines, Chef Jérôme Brochot runs a small, convivial restaurant with just fifteen covers. The setting is a quiet house where the atmosphere is warm and the service feels personal—more like a dinner at a friend’s home than a formal meal. The Chef considers this closeness with his guests essential.
The cooking here is described as authentic, instinctive, and made entirely in-house. There are no rigid menus: the Chef lets the produce lead. He works closely with local artisans and producers, adapting his dishes to what is freshest and most seasonal. This approach keeps the kitchen nimble and minimises waste. The result is a modern cuisine that changes with the market, always built around taste and flavour rather than trend. That philosophy, and the consistent quality of the plates, earned the restaurant a Michelin Recommended distinction.
Jérôme Brochot also offers private cooking classes—solo, in a duo, or with friends—where guests can learn the Chef’s modern techniques. For those wanting to linger, two guest rooms are available, continuing the spirit of Burgundian hospitality. Whether for lunch (Wednesday to Friday) or one of two gastronomic formulas served through Sunday lunch, this is a place that rewards a detour.
