“Incredible attention to detail. Great place to eat Did not stay in hotel”

8 people for dinner is not easy to manage especially as the 4 couples are all foodies with varying tastes.

8 people for dinner is not easy to manage especially as the 4 couples are all foodies with varying tastes. Service was a little slow at times but the quality of food made up for the long wait at times. After the amuse bouche we were served 4 sample "starters" before our signature starter of the fois gras ravioli. Amazing taste sensations such as a soft slow cooked quails egg hidden in a rocket soup with bacon bits, a shell fish veloute with morsels of lobster, fois gras finger cake with a cherry jelly on top, thin sliced dressed beef tomato with an avocado ice cream. The main of lamb was a little disappointing after all that fanfare. There was then a long pause to allow space for a storm of 5 desserts which in truth was a little too much for us to eat. If we had only had the starter, main & dessert we ordered then the 85Euro menu would have been considered somewhat expensive but with the extras the value was good. When however are Michelin level restaurants going to offer coffee or tea as a free item. At the end of a meal after adding wines plus a pre dinner drink the bill for 8 foodies was nearly £200 per person so to charge for coffee is an oft repeated error by many restaurants just as the massive mark up on bottled water

“Amazing!”

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The room (standard room) was small but nicely appointed and clean. Facilities in the room are good but I think there should be tea and coffee making facilities in addition. The pool area is very attractive and there is a bar on the terrace. However we were shocked to pay €25 for a glass of rose wine and a bottle of beer. In fact, having failed to check out the dinner menu in advance, this made us fear for our bank balance! However, although the dinner menu was pricey (for us) it was utterly amazing and worth every penny. We chose the ‘menu decouverte’ (€85) which appeared as a four course menu. However the chef’s surprises increased this to twelve courses!! The food was incredible and plentiful - such a treat! The wine varied in price - we selected the cheapest rose at €50 which we felt was delicious. The staff were attentive and friendly without being intrusive. After 7 days travelling around this region, this was our best experience without a doubt. Do not hesitate to visit 😊

“One of the best meals”

Get the gastronomic meal. U have to buy your own wine, no pair option so that will run up the bill as expensive choices but many great selections. Food was off the charts from the duo hot and cold fois gras to the basil sorbet to the eatable flowers to the veal I cut with a butter knife to the sav… lisää

Get the gastronomic meal. U have to buy your own wine, no pair option so that will run up the bill as expensive choices but many great selections. Food was off the charts from the duo hot and cold fois gras to the basil sorbet to the eatable flowers to the veal I cut with a butter knife to the savory langoustines and the pre-dessert and the regular dessert and of course the extensive cheese plate. Outdoor dining w spectacular views of the gorge and no bugs (unlike Château Bern). Chef worked around my food allergies as well.

We stayed at the hotel for a few nights. The reception staff, accommodation and pool were lovely. The food at the restaurant was amazing and a true delight to sample the great work of Philippe Da Silva! We opted for the prestige menu and it was great. Unfortunately the service we received was very disappointing. At times forgotten about and they chose to serve others who were not even waiting before us. The flow of the menu was missed and it really impacted our experience. Such a shame for a wonderful place. We have all received disappointing service at times but none to ever make me post on Trip Advisor.
