Le Saint Martin - Reserva de mesa

Chapaize is an attractive little village with about 170 inhabitants. There are two restaurants and a bar selling bio snacks so they are spoilt for choice for eating out on their own doorsteps. There is also a handful of stalls forming a small Sunday market, a group of potters and a couple of galleries, and a church dating from the C9, but that’s pretty much it - no ubiquitous tabac, coiffeuse or pharmacie. As with most such villages I suspect the downside as far as the Chapaiziens and Chapaiziennes are concerned is the large number of tourists who crowd the streets in summer.We added to the crowd, visiting on a hot Sunday for lunch at the restaurant Saint Martin - not to be confused with the...

There are so many things to love about the St Martin in the off-season... the chef is at his most creative, going to the market every morning to select the best of the seasonal produce on offer, and he has the time to invent delicious, unusual combinations that you will not find anywhere else (such as the starter I enjoyed on a recent visit, composed of fresh sardines that he marinated/cured himself, set on top of perfectly crisp thin toasts that had been alternately layered with tapenade and cream of artichoke, all on top of a bed of seasonal greens that were perfectly dressed, see photo). TO DIE FOR. The service is more relaxed since they are not dealing with huge hungry crowds and I canno...

We went on the recommendation of friends in the area with a large party. The Chef was incredible, coming by the table several times during the evening to chat, make suggestions and ensure out experience was positive. The food was divine. The table was split between the salad with small fried local fish which was delicious, not too salty, nor fishy as many salads like this can be and the foie gras de canard which simply melted in the mouth. The chef recommended the wine pairing and it was perfect. The second course was again split at the table between the fish and the lamb (two different preparations of the lamb were served to different persons). Again, wonderfully paired with with wine. Dese...

We were on a tour around some of the major Clunisoise sites and at lunchtime found ourselves in Chapaize. Opposite the beautiful 11th century church dedicated to Saint Martin, is the Restaurant ‘Le Saint Martin’. It’s inviting from the outside and the proprietors are incredibly...welcoming. We didn’t want a big 3-course lunch, and asked whether just having an Entree would be fine. No problem! They did offer to make it a slightly larger portion and we agreed, opting for the intriguing Profiteroles aux Escargots. What arrived was a beautifully presented dish that was accompanied by an equally beautiful side dish of vegetables. Both were delicious. The cuisine is clearly very creative and stumb...

In the heart of the Burgundy countryside miles from anywhere. People visit Chapaize because of its amazing church. I would advise you come here she the weather is good and you can eat outside.nthecsetting sun on the church opposite creates a magical ambiance. Not many Brits about, lots of Dutch. Cuisine excellent and well-priced.mthecsort of restaurant where you eat your fill but don't feel "stuffed" full of food. Loved my dessert especially......a combination plate of all the other desserts in small portions. A sort of tapas dessert....delicious. Fully recommended. Had the 34 euros meal which before the stupidity of Brexit voters wrecked the pound was exceptional value for this class of foo...

Le Saint Martin serves delicious seasonal fare in a convivial space across from Chaipaize's ancient church. We started with an organic cremant from a local producer and the chef recommened a pinot blanc and a Beaujolais Cru for our table, the latter of which went perfectly with my roasted saddle of lamb and the amazing pulled lamb that others at our table ordered. My starter was a salad with petit friture, mild sardine-sized fried white fish from the nearby River Seille, and dessert was a perfectly not-too-sweet hazelnut cookie with apple and chestnut mousse. The chef and staff were attentive and helpful, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was sublime. Will definitely be back...

There were 13 of us for lunch, and we hadn’t reserved, but the friendly staff managed to re-arrange some tables for us inside so we could sit together. Everything was cooked to order so there was a bit of a wait but the food was...very good. They use locally sourced fresh ingredients whenever possible and I chose a fish that had been supplied that morning by a local fisherman. I would happily eat here again if I ever return to this part of Burgundy.

What else is there to wish for than sun, a good glass of wine and some tasty food when you’re visiting the Bourgogne? This place has it all we ate on the terrace during lunch it was busy but the waiters were...friendly and in control. As the decor of the old village you’re in, everything is not super polished but genuine and authentic. The lamb was tasty and the (goat) cheeses were local. A define ‘go to’ if you’re around!

We went on the reco of some friends who live nearby. Every dish at our table of eight was delicious. The chef (who shops at the market daily for his menu) came by our table several times to check on us and make sure we were enjoying our meal. Even though most of us didn't speak French, it was clear from the big smiles on our faces that this was an amazing meal and an experience not to be missed!

We ate at the restaurant after the concert at Eglise Chapaize. There were 30 of us and they served incredible food. People said “It’s the best meal I’ve ever had.” The service was superb! We had organic veal pate and pulled beef with fresh peas...that was divine. The creme brûlée was the best I’ve ever eaten superb! I highly recommend this restaurant.
