Café Charles sur Dole

28/10/2025: I didn't try the restaurant, but it seems to have a good reputation. The rooms are comfortable, quiet, and well-heated, but strangely, not even a bar of soap, nothing! They're really penny-pinching. Breakfast is fine for those who appreciate the purely French trio of bread, butter, and jam. No pastries (just a slice of brioche), no cheese or cold cuts; perhaps out of season you get the bare minimum, but for €14, still... here too, the impression is that breakfast also seems to be on the cheap. A shame, because the welcome was good, the location was good, the parking was good, and the room was nice.

25/10/2025: I hadn't been back to this gourmet restaurant since chef Joël Césari's retirement. After a very charming welcome, we all chose the three-course menu at my table. The taste surprises are there and the presentation of the dishes is very careful. The menu changes with the seasons. Yesterday, I really enjoyed the appetizers as well as the poultry dish. The meal ended in style with two desserts, including a very surprising and succulent gentian dessert. The new chef, Laurent Barberot, has succeeded in raising the bar even higher!
