Authentic Thai food in the middle of Burgundy? Yes, thanks to an enterprising French-Thai couple who recently opened this unconventional fusion restaurant at Cluny's Hôtel de l'Abbaye. You'll find plenty of straightforward Thai and Burgundian classics on the menu, complemented by more innovative 'Bourgi-thai' offerings that span the culinary gulf in between. Escargot nems (spring rolls), anyone?
