Auberge De La GrenouillÈre

But what a magical and beautiful moment! We have been subjugated by the pace of service, or servers, it moves such classical dancers, at a constant and light pace. everything is in adequacy, service, dishes, wines. The kitchen is detonating, rare, applied. wines are also at the height of the cuisine, with a young sommelier passionate and exciting by his love of the wines he presents. I hope that we will have the opportunity to return to the grenouillère, for this time, spend a weekend, I am curious to discover breakfast;

It's a mixed impression that we felt when we left the grenouillère. Many positive points like the restaurant room that is beautiful, elegant, especially in the evening, the lighting is thought out and supported, it is almost magical. after a rather surprising arrival - we really wonder if we are in the right place so that the place doesn't look like a hotel-, the reception is very courteous, the 2cv room trip is fun and the staff as a whole is very professional. We were then taken to our suite, located several hundred meters from the restaurant, which we did not know. The suite looks like a small country house. First, we ask for half a bottle of champagne and we're told it's impossible. Too bad, we'll just have a tea (a bag on the courtesy tray). the suite is equipped with two baths, including an already filled outdoor that has ice water. We therefore use the second, but we are quickly plunged into a thick steam cloud due to a lack of vmc. the bathtub is composed of a kind of concrete and the humidity spreads everywhere, large bottle of water in front of the toilet door and the droplets of condensation water. We're looking for bathrobes, which we can't find. I call the reception that informs me that they are given only on request and that we will be brought during our dinner! What interest? I'll say it'll be too late. we are still in a castle relay at 380 euros per night, in a suite around this central bathtub and we have no bathrobes! We don't have a closet either, a very uncomfortable little couch and no shutters in the window. But it's authentic! we return to the hotel for a walk dinner (impossible to park our car near the suite, but on the parking lot located 500 meters), fortunately the rain stopped. the menu that is distributed to us is unreadable for 45 years (! Why write it so small and with a very clear font but it's okay, you trust and don't read it! the rosé champagne of the aperitif is insipid and disappointing (24 euros the cup however). Some mouths are immangeable (skin of langoustin shells. follows a multitude of small bites sometimes disappointing (we really look for the small lobster piece hidden under the slice of sedan), sometimes successful (the meringue goat cheese). the main dish is very good and well decorated with gnocchis with black truffles. The meal is pleasant as a whole, but no explosion of taste. the service is pleasant, our server is user-friendly and accessible. We would especially like to thank the young sommelier who excels in his art, is not avaire of his time and share his experiences and passion for wine with simplicity and sympathy. We were asked twice to meet the chief, we were told that he had not come to greet his guests in the room, but that we could meet him at the end of the meal. It wasn't, we regret it. the next day, breakfast is deposited at the entrance. it is very summary and is not at the level of a castle relay. we have put 4 points for the originality of the experience, but we are far from the other 2 stars we have done previously as the large and beautiful tables of franck putelat (carcassonne), mathieu guibert (near the plain at sea), serge vieira ou christophe haye at home next to. We regret not having been able to discuss it with the chief.

An absolute top class restaurant. Great location, efficient and friendly staff and what a kitchen! We adored the well balanced, original and tasty 11 courses menu. We were well advised on the wine to. The “huts” were one can stay overnight are beautiful and originally decorated. You have all the comfort in the middle of the nature. We also enjoyed the breakfast with local products. We go back!

Third visit to the Michelin 2 Star restaurant, Exciting innovations and excellent cuisine from a superb kitchen brigade and an excellent level of service.

My fourth visit to La Grenouillère. Each visit is a treat. The staff is super friendly. The food is out of this world. The chef is really creative. The whole experience is unique. I cannot wait to return.
