Cafe Bernolin sur Bourg-En-Bresse

24/10/2026: The welcome was a bit average, the dishes were very well presented, but the foie gras was tasteless and we were very disappointed with the roast chicken (one drumstick placed on a piece of back with no meat, just a little skin, so very small and dry), which was a shame. Otherwise, everything else was very good, especially the liver pâté with lobster sauce and Vacherin cheese (a generous portion). A bottle of rosé was simply placed on the table, even though there was an ice bucket and a tea towel provided. We would have appreciated it being chilled. The service wasn't great for an establishment of this caliber. Overall, we were unanimously disappointed with our evening (6 people). Perhaps next time, so as not to leave with a bad impression.

21/10/2026: I was in Bourg-en-Bresse to visit the magnificent Brou Monastery. I spotted this restaurant located just across the street. I was alone and simply wanted to have something to eat before visiting the monastery. It was 2 pm and I received a very warm welcome. I opted for the set menu at €19, veal sauté and vacherin with red berries, although the €32 menu was tempting... Both dishes were refined, excellent, and generously portioned. To accompany my meal, I had a glass of Viognier and a glass of Givry, both excellent. The service was perfect, with genuine kindness. In short, absolutely flawless. Bravo for such quality at such a price. And all served with a smile. Congratulations to everyone at this restaurant! Beware, I'll be back...
