"My wife and I stopped here in mid September 2018 for a night while travelling south to our holiday destination. What a start to the holiday! We stayed in the hotel, but the restaurant is open to non residents. The restaurant is in a hotel which is a little way out of Mercuer (near Aubenas), up a hillside. It is not easy to find, ensure you know your directions before trying to get there. The meal was fantastic. After an interesting and very tasty amuse bouche, we went for the €39 menu, deux Plats, Fromage et Dessert. The lotte (monkfish) with Ravioles du Dauphiné was superb. I don't normally go for ravioli, but Ravioles du Dauphiné is a regional speciality consisting of two layers of pasta surrounding a filling of Comté or Emmental, cottage cheese, butter and parsley. With the firm and perfectly cooked monkfish it was a perfect combination. Second plat was chicken with écrevisses (crayfish), an interesting combination which was delicious. The cheeseboard was very extensive, as tends to be the case with good French restaurants; it held about 25 different cheeses, and a little less typically the portion size was generous. There were several desserts to choose from, my wife had the baked Alaska and I the chocolate sponge which had a rich chocolate sauce filling chocolate lovers delight! Lots of choices for wine by the glass (about €5 per glass), and extensive aperitif options. The hotel has plenty of private parking. To sum up, a visit to this lovely restaurant is well worth a detour or stopover on your trip. We certainly intend to visit again on future annual trips to France!"

"Quand on réserve une chambre dans un 4*, on s’attend à un certain standing. Quelle déception quand on découvre la chambre ! Une odeur de renfermée, déco tristissime et surannée, avec une salle de bain (toilettes en face du lit) sans la moindre étagère et qui pue les remontées, les rideaux des fenêtres sont déchirés, le lit n’est pas convenablement fait (dans la nuit nous nous sommes retrouvés à même le matelas, sans drap ni alèse) et le mobilier annexe (canapé et descente de lit) tout tachés. Le petit déjeuner est correct, mais encore une fois très loin de ce qu’on peut attendre d’un 4*. Gros point fort qui pardonne beaucoup de choses mais qui n’excuse rien : son emplacement idéal, pile entre le casino et les thermes. Notons aussi la gentillesse du personnel, devoué, sympathique et chaleureux. Merci de vous démener pour essayer de rendre ce séjour agréable dans un hôtel décrépi. Rooms: 1 Service: 2 Location: 4"

"Since the restaurant's reopening, I noticed a big change. I've come several times before I liked it, but it's no longer the case. There's too many dogs hanging out on the deck to beg at your feet, and there's no hygiene. I found dog or cat hair on my plate and hair. So I didn't finish my dish. It disgusted me because I attach a lot of importance to hygiene. the waitress is not very competent to let itself easily overflow, not very reactive. We'd have to change this. I'm really disappointed. I used to love a lot."

"What a delicious discovery!! By the way to Aubenas, we enjoyed ourselves in this charming little restaurant that I allow myself to link here [hidden link] The kitchen is seasonal and everything is homemade, the chef was alone this Wednesday noon and managed everything perfectly; a very good reception in a simple but efficient atmosphere, we come we know what we eat and we eat well, at an affordable price for a healthy and quality cuisine "
