Chalet de Brou sur Bourg-En-Bresse

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.

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...

Everything was perfect. From the warm welcome and the lovely, quiet setting, to the added bonus of the view of the Brou monastery, the dishes were well presented and the food delicious.

We had a wonderful time in a very pleasant setting, enjoying dishes of remarkable flavor and presentation! Bravo!

A very good establishment where you can enjoy a succulent Bresse chicken. You can also enjoy other dishes just as good as the chicken, and especially relax on a lovely terrace in the summer. This establishment is very conveniently located right opposite the Brou Monastery. I highly recommend it to others.

We've been to this restaurant twice in the last ten years, most recently three years ago. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has declined significantly. Our portion of Bresse chicken had considerably more bone than meat; while the chicken itself tasted good, the quality of the side dishes was rather average. There was no response to our complaint about the chicken, even though we clearly expressed our concerns in French. The price-performance ratio is therefore no longer acceptable. The excellent and friendly service and the wonderful ambiance with a direct view of the Brou Abbey can hardly compensate for the declining food quality. A real shame! Making a table reservation by email also failed. It only worked after a phone call. Incidentally, several new and supposedly quite good restaurants have opened on the same street in the last two to three years.

The meal was very good, the portions generous. The welcome was warm and the service excellent. The only problem, and it's a significant one, is the lack of air conditioning; it's very hot and not comfortable for eating and relaxing.

Thank you for this wonderful moment. The welcome, the food, and the setting were exceptional from start to finish. Thank you for this Bresse experience.

Excellent restaurant opposite the Brou monastery. Very good cuisine featuring local specialties. Bresse chicken with morels, quenelle with Nantua sauce... Very good, efficient and friendly service.

Great food frog legs, Bresse chicken
