"service with a smile, light and comfortable surroundings, original and local dishes, great menu for vegetarians.
staff was welcoming and made us feel at home. each dish was a pleasant surprise, the 3 glass menu made us discover new winegrowers in the region, and was perfectly matched to the dishes."

"Our evening at Origine was outstanding. The dishes are pieces of art. One should take a moment to discover all the little details that the chef has hidden on the plate. For us personally, the dishes could have been seasoned stronger but that is a matter of personal opinion. The chef chose to go with a more subtle and elegant approach.
The wine and non-alcoholic pairing deserve special recognition- both were excellent and well presented."
Jan S
"This restaurant is definitely one to add to my list! First, I want to thank the talented and creative Chef Tomofumi it was a pleasure meeting him. His kind gesture of stepping out of the kitchen to greet us made the experience even more special.
The entire meal was a feast for the senses beautifully presented, full of flavor, and truly satisfying. Every dish reflected his magic touch and ended like a piece of art. Everything was amazing, and I can’t wait to come back again and again to try more!"

Previously sous-chef at Maison Lameloise in Chagny, Japanese chef Tomofumi Uchimura impresses with his mastery of French cuisine, which he peppers with discreet Japanese touches. He is enthusiastic about Burgundy produce and elegantly elevates local ingredients – snails from Vernot (accompanied by a delicious, airy emulsion of mature Comté cheese and vin jaune), Charolais beef (with an elegant medley of carrots). For him, nothing is off limits as long as the quality is up to the mark, particularly when it comes to working with fresh seafood (delicious fillet of brill with green asparagus and verbena risotto).

La table :ancien second de la Maison Lameloise, le chef japonais Tomofumi Uchimura a roulé sa bosse auprès de plusieurs toques (Emmanuel Renaut, Eric Pras…) avant d’élire domicile en 2020 dans un ancien relais de poste relooké en table élégante. Sa cuisine précise et inventive, teintée de touches asiatiques, lui a permis de décrocher l’étoile deux ans plus tard. C’est l’une des adresses les plus prisées de la région.
