Le Petit Rolin

Burgundy


At Le Petit Rolin, with its rustic interior dating back to the 15th century, the bourguignonne galette (Burgundian crêpe) is filled with regional ingredients such as Époisses cheese and cured meat. Otherwise there are plenty of fish and meat dishes and salads to choose from. In summer, tables fill the square outside, opposite the cathedral's tympanum.
