Auberge de la Riviere Restaurant sur Velluire

Why am I so enthusiastic? I spent the Pentecost weekend (Saturday and Sunday) at this establishment located on the banks of the Vendée River. If you love nature, you'll be delighted by this completely natural and unspoiled environment, listening to the birdsong: wood pigeons, domestic pigeons, golden orioles—that rare migratory bird with its distinctive call—and the countless frogs croaking in unison until the end of the night. The welcome was warm and empathetic, the room and its adjoining rooms offered simple comfort but were remarkably clean and furnished with very comfortable furniture. The food was outstanding; the dishes weren't sophisticated but were well-prepared and delicious. The appetizers are fantastic. The wines: excellent choices at very reasonable prices. The service, assisted by apprentices from the hotel school, is impeccable, presenting the dishes with the academic flair of a Michelin-starred restaurant, though with occasional minor imperfections that bring a smile to the face of a seasoned diner who, without any hint of malice, shares his experience with them, demonstrating the pedagogical skill befitting these dedicated young women who could be...his grandchildren. In conclusion: an establishment worth discovering, and "quality/price"? Nowhere else...👏👏

Beautiful ĺocation, great hospitality and cuisine.

The Sunday set menu is exceptional!

Fantastic welcome, splendid location along the river. Very comfortable room. Exceptional cuisine, worthy of a top chef. I highly recommend this hotel/restaurant; the value for money is astounding.

This is our third stay at the Auberge de la Rivière, and it's absolutely perfect! The setting is magnificent. You absolutely must try the chef's delicious cuisine; it's so refined! The meal is served with elegance and a smile. A must-visit! We will definitely be back! Thank you for your warm welcome and kindness. Corinne

Always perfect. We return every year and eagerly await the Michelin star this establishment deserves. The welcome, the service, the tables, the food—everything is perfect. We can't wait to come back and savor your menus and relax in this magical place.

Ideal location, very quiet area, and an elegant restaurant with excellent service 👍🏻 Worth the price 🙂

Lunch in this paradise. Pure bliss. Lovely staff. Very pleasant setting. Peaceful. Excellent value for money. It was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic weekend (Thursday to Saturday) 😉, I had booked in February but due to the floods we postponed our reservation to last weekend. The room with a terrace overlooking the Vendée was superb, the meal at the restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced, the staff were professional and friendly, and the location was wonderfully peaceful. We will definitely be back and eager to return.

Lovely hotel, generous breakfast. Dinner was a delight, impeccable service. The staff are very pleasant. One small drawback: the side dishes were a little sparse.
