L'Ancienne Auberge

We had high hopes of this place after a glowing recommendation from French friends but were very sadly disappointed. We drove over an hour each way from where we were staying and wished we hadn’t bothered. We were seated at a table in a corner, away from the main restaurant despite having booked weeks in advance.

Nice outdoor tables in the back of the restaurant. One of best Spritz I ever had. Food was good however service is deficient. Long waiting and not synchronized meal/ wine which is simply not ok for this kind of restaurant.

We were booked into the main restaurant for dinner so took the kids here for dinner beforehand. Service was friendly and food was good quality and arrived quickly. Would go back for a full meal if in the area.
