The story

Le Terminus in Tournus – Michelin-Recommended Dining in Southern Burgundy

A warm welcome in Tournus

Just steps from the Abbey of Tournus, Hôtel-Restaurant Le Terminus has been welcoming guests since 2004. Nathalie looks forward to introducing you to the hotel’s individually decorated rooms, each a little discovery. But the heart of the house is the restaurant, where Olivier and his team invite you to share a cuisine that is both gourmet and authentic. The restaurant’s Michelin recommendation reflects the consistent quality and genuine character of the cooking.

Gourmet, authentic, and made with care

Olivier’s kitchen is built on fresh, high-quality ingredients. “To cook well you need good ingredients, a palate, heart, and friends,” as the quote from Pierre Perret that appears on the restaurant’s site puts it. The result is a cuisine that is generous and rooted in the traditions of Southern Burgundy. The dining room has been refreshed with chic, cosy tones, and in warmer months the shaded terrace offers a sunny spot to enjoy a meal. Air conditioning keeps things comfortable when the weather is hot.

More than just dinner

Le Terminus is not only a restaurant. The hotel offers a lounge bar for a relaxed drink, and a carefully considered wine list that celebrates the region’s great bottles. A daily “cocotte” special changes throughout the week, and the house tartare is a perennial favourite. Whether you are staying overnight or just passing through, the team here makes sure you feel at home.
