My husband, former Dijoinaise, says

"Lameuloise in Chagny is remarkable and it's not too early to make a reserv

for Sept."

You should check out this thread.

Also I should mention that in late September we ate at Le Bistrot des Halles, so-so but inexpensive dinner for 63 E; Stephane Derbord, not bad at all for 108 Euros; and schlepped out to the best of the three restaurants, in Prenois, L'Auberge de la Charme, for 97 Euros. Because I was on holiday from my Paris duties, I took lousy notes. However, if the truth be told, our most interesting meal was a huge sit-down catered affair at the Clos Vougeot estate with singing and dancing and very, very fine wine.

There are two between Dijon and Beaune that we like:

Chez Jeanette north of Savigny-les-beaune- somewhere,

and

Bar/Tabac who's name I always forget in Flagy-Echezeaux.

We've been there twice, its a lot nicer and heavier than it sounds.

Real old fashioned heavy French food, multi courses, but quite an experience. I think its the only restaurant in the town.

There's an M.F.K. Fisher story she tells about how the waitress in an Inn in France just kept bringing courses and courses of food, "Oh, you must try this, and this, and this, the Chef just made it fresh", that this place in Flagy totally reminds me of!

Just one more little mint, Monsieur!!

Ms. Laidback, another eGulleteer and I are spending 3 nights in Dijon next month, and would welcome suggestions for restaurants, brasseries, bistros, and cafés from the eGullet faithful and perhaps even the unfaithful. Msrs. Michelin and Pudlowski have made theirs but we would be appreciative of personal testimony of all price ranges with an emphasis on places similar to Parisian favorites such as Carte Blanche, Spring, Le Florimond, Le Bristol, Drouant, Café de la Mairie, etc.

My favourite place in Dijon is STEPHANE DERBORD , place Wilson , any other recommendations ?

We also really liked L'Auberge de la Charme and the Clos Vougeot caterer a couple of years ago; it and other replies can be found here.

My friend, Alex Miles, professor of cooking and author of "Ces hommes qui cuisinent : Le plaisir de partager" (These Men Who Cook: The pleasure of Sharing) lives in Dijon. He tells me the best pizza in France can be found at a restaurant there.

Unfortuntely, my planned visit to Alex and his chosen pizza joint was stopped by the November rail strike, so I never found out the name.
