Brasserie Le Carnot in Beaune in the Bourgogne is a typical French brasserie. It is open 7 days a week from morning to midnight.
Following the tour of the Hospices de Beaune, we walked over to Le Carnot and had lunch there.

Restaurants, Brasseries, Bistros, Cafes and Wine Bars
In France, you find restaurants, brasseries, bistros, cafes and wine bars. What is the difference?
Brasseries open early in the day and serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can also have just a beer or a café. The food is basic and the setting is informal.
Restaurants are open only for lunch and/or dinner. You go there to eat, often in a rather formal setting. For dinner, the French restaurants typically open at 8pm. The best restaurants are those with 1 to 3 Michelin stars.
Bistros are scaled down versions of restaurants, also open only for lunch and/or dinner. They tend to be less formal. Some bistros are Michelin-starred.
Wine bars primarily serve wine by the glass, but most of them also have elements of a bistro or a brasserie.
Cafés serve as places where people sit to have a café, by themselves or with others, eat something or have glass of wine. Most cafés serve lunch and light dinners in the evening. They generally do not have pastries except during mornings, where a croissant or pain au chocolat can be purchased with breakfast coffee.
Lunch
This was a fun lunch in a lively brasserie. Nothing fancy. Just good.
Menu du Jour
We had the menu du jour. Some of us had a glass of wine, others a beer to go with the delicious food.
