I can only recommend this restaurant. We were able to privatize the terrace for an event and we were delighted! Jacques and his team welcomed us warmly and met all our expectations. Pretty bucolic setting, good Dombes cuisine and smiling, available and attentive staff. Thank you again for your welcome and your professionalism, see you soon.

Arrived like a hair in the soup, right in the middle of a group of people celebrating, a boss who runs in all directions with a smile and who welcomes us with sympathy.Full restaurant, but we found a table at the last minute.A meal worthy of the name, beautiful presentation and super good. Nothing to say thank you.And the bill is sky-high... so cheap!An incredible restaurant!Thanks to the boss and his chef. We will come back.

Hidden gem tucked away along our route from Lyon to Besancon. Really worth the stop. My husband and I had some lovely homey French food and just loved the chill countryside atmosphere. Thanks!

Excellent time with Jacques and his team. A very nice surprise with frogs (leftovers from yesterday) shared with the family as an aperitif, a very nice beef tab with a super gratin and HOMEMADE desserts (we even left with the recipe for the raspberry tart :))You will have understood: I recommend 5/5 because the welcome was perfect.
