"8/8/2017 dinner. For several years, we have been stopping at our gastronomic peregrine at frédéric sweett. for the room, at the top, especially if you take the villa of the kiwis or that of the olive trees, read the review apart. But let's insist on the breakfast that is worth the second place behind the insept breakfast of white georges (which is a sacred reference for those who have had the chance to go to vonnas.) perfect reception by rachel, alexandre and frédéric, the boss in person. frédéric, in all objectivity, has always been our heart blow! a warm setting (we love or not the purple armchairs.), knowing that his charming wife anne has a lot of taste, aperitif at the living room where the "bar à champagne" service offers three different wines (the connoisseurs will of course be able to separate a "basic" champagne with a large cru krug, for example, and understand that the price is necessarily not the same. "françoise c" ; go to see at a German srnaud.) in short, original and fresh mouths, including a superb beet sorbet and blackcurrant! melania, every smile and very competent, officie in the room with brio. we opted for the meurette egg softly: excellent; simply with a very gustative wine sauce. Then came the golden calf with its vegetables from the garden, and the real charolaise intercoast matured 40 days; what do I say? that it was divine and that the plates, yet well-stocked, went back to the kitchen? two different dishes but both worthy of the star. The choice of varied and refined cheese tray with a wide choice where it is not 4 small, but several pieces that I tasted, accompanied by an excellent wine with the glass that jean, the sommelier, has very well granted (as was previously the two dishes, with absolutely prohibitive prices). a part of a lack of knowledge, which I can understand, starry, or unjustified jealousy, what can be blamed on this young leader and this no less young brigade, all of them talented? to work hard from evening to morning and morning very early in the evening very late? We, personally, admire those people who dedicate themselves to the body and soul for the well being of the customers and guests. frédéric softt has now opened the "bistrot of the dock" just in front of the eponymous restaurant; Reserve for it makes 80 covers at noon, and its second crossed the road (between the semi-trailers (lol) to take the kitchen in charge and will put you small simple dishes (?) but very good. In any case, it is obvious that the first star is very well hooked and that fd is on a beautiful uphill slope...Table we recommend warmly."

"After 3.5 hours, tired, we decide to try the new French-style softt brewery. complete. dragging your feet a little bit, we're on the table of the house of the charolais, which we've heard only negative criticisms for a while. A dozen customers, a fast, friendly and smiling service and a very good meal: well cooked veal head for sir, for me a tasteful and well cooked hamburger. Very good fries. for both a coffee (very) greedy: 3 verrines ( delicious caramel cream, syrup raspberries, raspberry ice) and 3 dufoux chocolates including a generous piece of tablet to orange.Break, a pleasant surprise. in this kind of place, you don't look for a gourmet and sophisticated cuisine but a good product, well cooked. It was the case last night. A flat about the map: certainly we are in the charolais and at the house of the charolais but ... we can not worship the beef. There are also lambs and chicken in the charolais: why not offer dishes based on these 2 products? Roasted chicken, lamb grilled meat, it would be good!"

"We lunched at Le Chidhouarn on 15 May. The large restaurant was empty on our arrival (12.00 noon) and we were shown to our table – in the corner, by the front window, with a lovely view down the valley – by the hostess, who subsequently took our order. As the restaurant specialises in fresh seafood, we selected from the 32 Euro menu, the Feuilleté de coquilles St Jacques au beurre Nantais as our entree and the Assiette Armor (Bar, saumon, rascasse and haddock fume in a bisque and beurre blanc sauce as our main course (we both chose the same dishes).The Feuilleté was delightful, the pastry clearly freshly made, and the coquilles similarly fresh. The Assiette was good, but being newcomers to French fish, it would have been nice to know which was the bar and the rascasse (the saumon and haddock were obvious). They were served with small spoonfuls of cooked vegetables.A small cheese plate followed with five segments of unidentified cheese. Our desserts of crème brulée and Sablé Breton au crémeux chocolat et glace chocolat were good, but not particularly special.Overall, the food was very fresh, tasty and represented good value for money.What disappointed us most about our lunch was the service, which we feel failed on a number of levels. Whilst our welcome was civil, it was not particularly warm. After taking our order, the hostess handed us over to a young woman, who was attentive in checking on our progress with our meals. That, however, was the limit of her interaction with us. She didn’t smile, provide any advice on what was being served, or question whether everything was to our satisfaction.Other little things included the lack of condiments on our table, and the carafe of water being served at room temperature, not chilled.Whilst these things were a little disappointing, the biggest failure of service came when another couple entered the restaurant after about one hour. The hostess placed them at the very next table – in a large, otherwise empty restaurant. We and the other couple ate our meals, forced to talk in whispers, as every word spoken was shared between the two tables. Had we been the couple entering the restaurant, we would have asked for a table further away, but we felt unable to ask the hostess to move the couple to a different table, for fear of offending them.Our thought in retrospect is that perhaps the owners have lost the passion for what they do – or perhaps simply they need to be customers in their own restaurant to experience the service from their clients’ perspectives."
