La Flambee - Tournus

Very busy Saturday night mix of locals and tourists stopping over. Great atmosphere and good French food. We enjoyed snails, crevette, pizzas, d'angou and the seafood risotto. The rum baba was very special!! Have visited before and will return again.

Two of us are at La Flambée on Thursday evening. They had perhaps 20 other diners, a lovely relaxed atmosphere. We were able to have a table fairly close to the open cheminée so could see the chef at work before the feu de bois. Having had a 4 course meal the evening before in Northern France, we both chose a simple grilled gammon steak. It was really well presented and cost an amazing 11€, accompanied by a 50cl pichet of red Côtes du Rhône at 9.80€, it became a fairly cheap night! Service as ever was attentive and professional, parking easy. All in all a very pleasant occasion.

One thing is sure, they have best culinary in the world. Every small village every town and city is full with exclusive restaurants and la flambee is not exceptional. This time I had only lunch but already from it you get the idea how good is this place. I will come back for dinner, soon. Ps. They have foie gras to go. Very good quality (goose liver)!!!!

Dogs welcome (2 Beagles), efficient waiter service. Pretty busy Sunday evening. The kitchen is in the restaurant area so you can see what is cooking. We ordered Magret de canard, it was grilled over open fire and came with a jacket potato and some vine tomatoes. Good flavours and double the size of what we had in other places. The total cost including a pichet Rosé and crème brûlée as désert was €54. A really pleasant evening.

On our way to buy wine in Clesse my son and I stopped for lunch based solely on the Trip Advisor review. What a splendid restaurant! Charming welcoming people really good food and a lovely open terrace with fresh air coming into the body of the restaurant through large slid black doors. I had the house special pizza which had creme fraise on it and my boy had a splendid burger which made him happy (and me a bad parent). It came to 32 euros with drinks and tip. Not cheap but wonderful to these travellers.
