Food and Wine on the 'Luciole'

It is our great delight that meals on board the Luciole are treasured times: opportunities to sit and relax and share with friends, old or new, a summer luncheon or dinner by candlelight.  The warm ambiance, for which the 'Luciole' is renowned is no better experienced than when gathered round a table with the anticipation of unfolding culinary delights.

Our chef is encouraged to be innovative and imaginative, marrying French cuisine with a contemporary twist while using fresh local ingredients to inspire and spoil you.  Our day commences with the arrival of freshly-baked bread and pastries,  Lunch is a feast of salads and savoury dishes, followed by a selection of cheese.  The four-course evening meal is the gastronomic highlight of each day, to be concluded, on the starlit nights for which Burgundy is noted, with coffee on our observation deck.

Wines from far and near are chosen to complement the menu.  With Chablis on our doorstep, local vineyards are well represented; but wines from the Cote D'Or are also on our list, together with Chateauneuf Du Pape and selections from Bordeaux.

Special diets are catered for by our experienced chef. Please mention any requirements you may have.
