Auberge Le Chene sur Violay

A good hostel with very friendly staff who were very accommodating to our needs with our young child. The meals were excellent. With our young child, we asked about the pasteurized and non-pasteurized options. For the cheese, they brought us a small plate of pasteurized cheeses for our 2-year-old. For dessert, they offered us a fruit salad instead of ice cream. A high chair is available, and there's a changing table in the restrooms. The only slight downside is that it's a bit noisy.

We were a group of over 72 retired hikers. They gave us a very warm welcome, especially considering the heavy rain. Some groups walked in the rain, others visited a weaving factory, and still others stayed in the restaurant playing cards until the delicious meal that had been prepared for us. Thank you on behalf of ASLRVV to the entire team at Le Chêne.

I had dinner at Le Chêne, an excellent meal and perfect service, thank you to the very dynamic staff

Good lunch option. Very friendly welcome.

Hello, We ate at Le Chêne yesterday, A little disappointed... Indeed, the frogs' legs were a bit small, some were really overcooked, and they certainly forgot to add salt during cooking (that's not so bad, we can add it later to our liking 😉). And no vegetables were served with the frogs' legs... that's a shame... Some fries, beans, or a gratin would have been nice, but nothing... The dry cheese was very good and the starter was decent, no complaints there. The ice cream scoops were a bit unusual: the chocolate was very sweet and the pistachio was rather bland and less prominent in the bowl... a shame. Perhaps this is a combination to avoid, as the chocolate flavor was too strong; maybe you should just order two scoops of pistachio on their own 😉. The set menu was €29 nonetheless. The restaurant and staff were pleasant.

A truly wonderful culinary discovery! We had an excellent time at Le Chêne. The food is delicious, generous, and prepared with high-quality ingredients. The waitstaff is very welcoming and attentive, and the service is seamless from start to finish. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. It's a fantastic place with excellent value for money!

Amazing restaurant, all home made, a great service, do not hesitate to stop there to enjoy the view, the terrasse, I will be back soon!

A very nice place, excellent service, thank you so much for this great time!
