Bruno and Isabelle Monnoir started this small restaurant just outside the boulevard around Beaune in the early 1990s. Bruno’s father ran the Relais de Saulx, a starred restaurant in Beaune where Bruno learned the ropes. After training in other great restaurants including Le Vieux Moulin in Bouilland and Lameloise in Chagny, he felt ready to open his own. Le Benaton gets rave reviews from both the Michelin and the Gault Millau guides.
