VOTRE CUISINE

Think of Burgundy, and the first restaurant that comes to mind is Ma Cuisine. A pilgrimage for wine lovers in the heart of Beaune, the wine list is extensive and well-priced, with more than decent picks for any budget. The original Ma Cuisine by Pierre and Fabienne Escoffier was a homely, cozy and unpretentious bistro. Colourful posters, handwritten chalkboards and furniture made from old wine crates brought character to the small space. The food was simple and rustic; the signature dish unforgettable — pigeon seasoned and roasted to a tender, perfect pink, served with jus and roast potatoes. In February 2026, the first generation Escoffiers handed over the keys of Ma Cuisine to their son Mathieu. Having dined at Mathieu’s Singapore outpost of Ma Cuisine many times, we were familiar with his design aesthetic and style of cooking. Gone are the vintage posters and menu chalkboards, in its place is a statement mirror reflecting the chic yet relaxed vibe of the Singapore branch. Cooking techniques and elegant plating elevate the food to high-end status. With it comes an adjustment in prices which I think is justified by the quality now produced by the kitchen. Think tender, seared shrimps cradled in a fragile, crisp, crunchy nest of fried batter, garnished with a dollop of in-house tartar sauce. Even the humble egg and mushrooms present a depth and harmony of flavour. The chocolate tart — smooth, rich, melt-in-mouth and not too sweet — is the best I’ve ever tasted. The first generation never sought to venture into marketing on social media. For the longest time, searching Ma Cuisine on Instagram led to the Singapore page, with a Beaune account no where to be found. This has changed with Mathieu now at the reins. Yet while the new generation will always have their own ideas and ways of doing things, the spirit of Ma Cuisine hasn’t changed. Ma Cuisine remains for us a special place to gather for a good time, the highlight of which is the pleasure of hunting for value

An absolutely exceptional dining experience. Ma Cuisine masterfully serves up French classics, combining the chef's wonderful preparation with incredibly fresh ingredients. Every dish was excellent. The service was warm, friendly, and highly attentive, matching the high quality of the food. All of this is set in a comfortable, modern atmosphere that makes for a perfect evening out. Highly recommended!

Amazing meal in Beaune! Such a great atmosphere, service, and meal. Everything was fantastic especially the escargot, pâté, and creme caramel.

What a beautiful place to eat a local Bourgogne dinner. The food is local and authentic, but still modern in its approach. The wines here are just exceptional. Even the wines by glass are local and great Bourgogne wines.

Slightly off the beaten path, so it is quiet and feels secluded. If you want crowds and cars, go 50 meters and turn the corner. The menu features regional specialties and custom creations. The wine list is spectacular, from local bargains to bank-busting superstar wines. I had resolved to skip dessert but the choices forced me to get a praline tart. No regrets. Service was that peculiar balance of being responsive while allowing privacy to the table. The courses were excellent (I had the roast chicken and I recommend it). We shall return when next in Beaune and will take a detour when in the area.

Walked in last minute without reservation. The staff welcomed me without hesitation. Food and service was precise, intentional, and focused without pretension. Wine list was priced with precision. My new favorite meal in Beaune.

A Hidden Gem in Beaune: The Best Boeuf Bourguignon I've Ever Had I stumbled upon a true culinary gem hidden in the heart of Beaune. This unassuming restaurant, tucked away from the main tourist hub, offers a dining experience that is simply unforgettable. Their boeuf bourguignon is, without a doubt, the best I've ever tasted. The rich, hearty sauce, infused with the flavors of Burgundy, perfectly complements the tender, slow-cooked beef. It's a dish that showcases the true essence of French cuisine. Beyond the incredible boeuf bourguignon, the menu features a delightful selection of classic French dishes, all prepared with meticulous attention to detail. And let's not forget the wine list. Any wine lover would be green with envy. The selection of Burgundy wines, in particular, is simply outstanding. If you find yourself in Beaune, I highly recommend seeking out this hidden gem. It's a place where you'll experience the true magic of French cuisine.

Very intimate and friendly..creative dishes with an attentive staff. No rush to eat and leave. Felt like we could stay all night.
