Dijon has an inordinate number of
pA?tisseries
in the town, full of high-quality, tempting confectionery in which marzipan and fruit feature prominently. The more exotic places also promote the Dijon specialities:
pain d'Aİpices
, a gingerbread made with honey and spices and eaten with butter or jam (from Mulot et Petitjean, 13 place Bossuet and other branches all over town), and
cassissines
- blackcurrant candies.
Chocolate
, best made on the premises, is another speciality - try Au Parrain GAİnAİreux, 21 rue du Bourg. And you can hardly forget that Dijon is also the high temple of
mustard
; there is the shop of leading producer Maille at 30 rue de la LibertAİ, selling a range from the mild to the cauterizing. Finally, a couple of ideas for buying good but affordable
wine
: first and foremost, there's Nicot, 48 rue Jean-Jacques-Rousseau, where you can taste, seek advice or take courses; alternatively, try La Cave du Clos, 3 rue Jeannin, or Nicolas, 6 rue FranA§ois-Rude.
There are a large number of excellent
restaurants
in town. Lively rue Berbisey and place Emile Zola hold the most promise for both eating and drinking options. There are also three
university restaurants
- 3 rue du Dr-Maret in the town centre; 6 bd Mansart; 6 rue du Recteur-Bouchard, near the university to the southeast of the city - where students can eat for 15F/a?Ĵ2.29 (daily 11.30am-1.15pm & 6.40-7.45pm). Other useful information
