La Madeleine
A Michelin-starred address on a small island in the River Yonne, La Madeleine earns its recognition through sourcing discipline as much as technique. Chef Patrick Gauthier builds menus around market-driven fish, seafood, and French regional produce, presented in a Scandinavian-inflected interior that sits at odds with the surrounding Burgundian town. At €€€€, it occupies a tier above most provincial alternatives in the region.
