Welcome
Pourquoi Pas ?
An intimate bistronomic restaurant in the heart of Dijon. Homemade French cooking, one single seasonal menu, and the same chef since 2007.
The house
Family-run, authentic bistronomy
Muriel and Julien met at hotel school and have run the house together for almost twenty years: Muriel welcomes you in the dining room while Julien cooks. Everything is homemade, from fresh produce, with a creativity rooted in Julien's origins, both Mediterranean and Burgundian.
Rather than a long menu, we serve a short seasonal menu, renewed every couple of months, with a choice of starters, mains and desserts at each course, always including a vegetarian main. Set menus at 39, 49 and 65 euros (5-course tasting menu). Net prices, service included. Special diets are happily catered for, just let us know when you book.
