"was not already a because back as a terrible service. still terrible, slow and unfriendly, but good eating, great presentation and good value for money. will not go back."
This is very nice place, quite conveniently located about 20-30 minutes outside Geneva, on the side of the main Gex-Divonne road, with plenty of parking space. In the summer, there is a nice garden, close to a forest. But our last visit was in February, with rain and snow.Menu is good, and quite reasonaby priced. The full 4 course menu is actually quite a bargain. As a first course, my wife had smoked salmon, and I choose "foie gras"; both were wonderfully served. As a main course, we both choose duck, but were somewhat disappointed, not by the food which was OK, but by the service which was too slow; the plates arrived already half cold. It should not have been the case ! Wine list is good...
We have been many times to the Auberge for the plat du jour and it has always been a delight - both in terms of menu and value for money. So highly recommended.We have also been a few times for dinner in the evening which offers prix fixe and à la carte. There, our experience has been somewhat varied. There is no doubt that the portions are generous and the prices are still attractive. However, sometimes the quality doesn't quite make the grade. So it's ok, but it's not fine dining.Bottom line - as always, you get what you pay for!
Les Vieux Bois is always busy and so one would expect that the food must be good. Well, it is! The décor is sort of country French with some odd high seated tables that actually work once you get used to them.And they are always improving the place with a significant landscaping effort over the last summer.We can recommend the lamb and pork dishes, all of which are prepared in a traditional French country style.
the vieux bois closed end 2021 and reopened as L’Accord parfait in the March 2022. owner chef rudy desplanque by le bon accueil is responsible for this new venture. it's just a week open, but looks like it's my new favorite. divonne restaurant! menu de jour for 17€ weekdays. open from Thursday to Monday (you can also order fresh roast chicken for lunch break. worth a visit!

I'm in Divonne on business and instead of heading in to town took TripAdvisor's advice and headed up the hill to the edge of Divonne. And I'm very glad I did. Welcoming and friendly, and just as well I'd arrived early as before long it was bustling. The food was absolutely excellent, I'm not surprised it's so popular.
Happy to say that their recent refurbishment hasn't affected the quality of their food - really good 'à la carte' and a great lunchtime 'menu fixe' of three courses with wine and coffee for €15. Can get a bit noisy, and understandably busy at lunchtimes, but a good place for lunch with friends.
I have been to the Auberge du Vieux Bois three times and each time it has been fantastic. The food is wonderful, portion sizes are great, and service is marvelous. Go and see for yourself!

The restaurant has a charming, chalet like atmosphere. The lunch menu (starter, main and dessert) is very good value for money. It can be full, so it is better to reserve.
