auberge de l arrivée

There were only four of us in a huge restaurant that felt stuck in the past. The place looked very dated, the dishes were damaged, and the plastic pitcher was worn out. The food was okay but forgettable, especially the "gourmet coffee," and the menu had far too many choices. The waitress wasn't very pleasant. She brought the appetizers and the starter just 30 seconds later, even though there were only four of us to serve. I was very disappointed with lunch today. I don't recommend it at all. Avoid it. I'll never go back.

The menu felt overpriced for what we got. The food wasn't bad, but it lacked inspiration, there were lots of frozen ingredients, and the fish had plenty of bones. The decor looked unchanged, too. We were a large group there for Sunday lunch, and the service was odd. The children and one parent had place cards, but nobody else did 😅. The owner was rather unpleasant toward the children and had a strange attitude in general. At the end, they kindly gave us a framed group photo, though it was blurry, dark, and badly framed. Still, it was a kind thought.

We love the dining room's atmosphere, especially the wood-burning stove that makes it feel cozy, along with the decor and music on the radio. Lunch is always delicious, and breakfast is generous. We've come here with friends every year for four years and have always been happy with our stay. The place is clean and comfortable, and the managers and staff are consistently friendly and efficient.

The lunch service was quick, and the price was reasonable. The restaurant felt a bit dreary when I visited. I hadn't eaten here since I started working in the area, though it must have been a good spot back when it was a Logis de France establishment.
