Perched atop the hill of Curtil-Vergy, Bon Pinard au Petit Bonheur has been run by a Japanese couple since April 2025 and offers refined Franco-Japanese cuisine, where Burgundy wines mingle with umami (one of the five basic tastes—sweet, sour, salty, and bitter—which means "delicious and savory" in Japanese). The menu blends regional classics with Japanese touches, reflecting the chef's background and his love for both cultures. This unique mix is what makes the restaurant so charming: Japanese cuisine is at the heart of the experience, whether in certain techniques, the balance of flavors, or the selection of specific ingredients. The wine list, rich in local appellations, highlights the terroirs of the Côte de Nuits …and older vintages. You can taste wines twenty years old and more at reasonable prices. A real gem!
