La Finette — Wine bar in Arbois

In Arbois, the little wine capital of the Jura, where Louis Pasteur grew up and where the region's most famous wines come from, La Finette has been an institution since 1961. For more than sixty years it has welcomed visitors on a voyage of discovery through the specialities of the Jura and Franche-Comté, and the tavern has become a real institution in the Comté. The menu spoils you with regional specialities: Comté fondue, chicken in vin jaune, Jésus de Morteau sausage, Jura trout, Franc-Comtois griottine ice cream and artisan lemonade and beer. The portions are downright generous: the onion soup is a meal in itself. For wine lovers, this is the heart of the story: La Finette combines fondues with Jura wine, so ask for advice on pairing vin jaune with fondue.
