Bistrot L Ancienne Auberge 1900 sur Vonnas

06/04/2024: We discovered the Château d'Epeyssoles thanks to a Smartbox given as a Christmas gift. The site is magnificent, the rooms very luxurious, the quality bedding, a dream stay surrounded by nature. This is why we were surprised by the lack of professionalism of the restaurant staff: the terraces of the pond. The waitress was unable to give us information between the different vintages of Juliénas, telling us that she knew nothing about wine. We were disappointed by the starter: the lobster mimosa, because we didn't find the taste of lobster but the mayonnaise was too present and very difficult to digest. I had to go out and breathe some fresh air before continuing with my meal. The presentation of the chicken was really simple, and the sweetbreads could have been more tender. Fortunately the desserts were excellent: the soufflé and the chocolate tart were excellent. The breakfast buffet is OK, but there are no scrambled eggs, the pastries are very ordinary. When we left, the receptionist charged us 55 euros too much, it was a rate error between the reservation email and their billing software. We ordered a bottle of champagne and some sweets to celebrate our wedding anniversary, but the sweets were 2 pieces of chocolate bars with hazelnuts. Bad luck, I don't like chocolate. In short, an idyllic place to recharge your batteries, but for the restaurant, it is better to go to the village of Vonnas to Mr Blanc. To organize a wedding or a family celebration the site is ideal with the hotel on site.
