Every year, the inspectors of the Michelin Guide test on average 270 restaurants all around the world. In 2025, out of all these experiences, only 11 dishes worldwide left such a strong impression that they made it into an ultra-exclusive selection. Good news: France claims two spots, and one of them is located just 1h20 from Lyon. Spoiler alert: it’s neither beef bourguignon nor a twist on escargots.
A dish that stays in your mind long after the last bite
There are dishes that we enjoy in the moment, and then there are those that linger in our memory. This is exactly the kind of memory that the Michelin Guide wanted to highlight in its 2025 selection. Among the 11 dishes that truly impressed inspectors worldwide, there’s a creation by Cédric Burtin in his restaurant in Saint-Rémy, Saône-et-Loire.
Here, we forget the clichés of t...Errors and the reimagined classics. The artichoke tart with coffee-marjoram emulsion boasts its own personality, a delicate balance where each flavor tells a unique story. An ultra-thin parmesan crust serves as the base for perfectly sliced artichoke hearts, almost translucent. On top, a coffee emulsion, subtly aromatic, ties everything together, enhanced by a few touches of lemon gel and artichoke purée. The overall dish is refined, clear, and free from unnecessary effects.
What the inspectors praise here is the precision of the technique. A dish built with rigor, proving that a simple idea, when mastered, can become unforgettable. The kind of plate you don’t forget when leaving the table, and which explains why it’s carved out a place in such a select list.
A chef from Burgundy, a cuisine without borders
If Cédric Burtin proudly claims his roots in Burgundy, he says it himself: the region shines not only for its classics like beef bourguignon or escargots. It also knows how to invent, twist, and play with the codes of fine dining while staying true to the product and the seasons. And that's exactly what the Michelin Guide comes to honor.
