Aux Terrasses, Michelin-starred restaurant and hotel in Tournus, France.
Aux Terrasses is a Michelin-starred restaurant and hotel in Tournus with bare stone walls, oak tables, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the dining area with natural light. The rooms and dining spaces face the Saône river, linking the interior to the surrounding landscape.
Michel Carrette founded the restaurant and earned its first Michelin star more than 30 years ago. His son Jean-Michel later took over and maintained the star by blending family tradition with current cooking approaches.
The restaurant plays an important role in the local food scene and shows how the region's producers shape what appears on plates. Visitors directly experience how regional ingredients are used in the kitchen and gain understanding of local eating habits.
The restaurant sits on the Saône riverbank and is easily reachable on foot from Tournus town center. Plan your visit for Tuesday through Saturday, and booking well in advance is strongly recommended to secure a table.
The wine collection holds around 6000 bottles from various regions, which the team uses to match specific wines to each dish served. This depth of collection is uncommon for a restaurant of this size.
