La P'tite Beursaude

Yonne


Waitresses wearing traditional Morvan dress serve excellent fish and meat dishes at this cosy eatery in the medieval centre. Ample dinner menus and bargain-priced lunches offer an introduction to Burgundian cuisine du terroir (traditional cuisine deeply connected to the land), which may include rib steak with Époisses cheese and œufs en meurette (poached eggs in red-wine sauce).
