There are restaurants that don't try to impress. They prefer to tell a story, the story of a region, a season, and a chef who takes the time to do things right. Chez Bonnebouche belongs to this group.
Here, everything seems guided by the ingredients. The menu follows the rhythm of the seasons, everything is homemade, and this is evident in every dish. The cooking, especially of the fish, is remarkably precise: delicate, delicate, never showy. You immediately sense the hand of a passionate chef, more concerned with revealing flavors than masking them.
And when autumn arrives, it's pure bliss. The slow-cooked dishes become culinary masterpieces: meltingly tender veal cheek, slow-cooked wild boar... Comforting, rich dishes that make you want to mop up every last drop.
A sincere restaurant, demanding without being pretentious, where you return with the same pleasure each season. A true gem.
I was pleasantly surprised overall, having stumbled upon it quite by chance, and discovered a traditional cuisine, respect for the customer, refined dishes, undeniably 100% homemade. I can't wait to return for another wonderful experience.
One of our favourite restaurants. Superb food and wine. Only 20 covers so you must make a reservation. I keep recommending it to friends and all have said it's wonderful. Off the beaten track but we'll worth it. We booked for Sunday lunchtime and as usual the food was delicious. Husband and wife team, he's the chef and his wife front of house. We were there just under three hours. You're not rushed but feel as though you're not waiting long enough to become impatient. Try a glass of the Pecharmant it's superb. It's really worthwhile seeking out this restaurant. We visited again last Friday evening and again wonderful food and a good selection of really good local wines. As usual we were the only English people in the restaurant. If you want to try French food at its best it's served here. Would we come again? Yes, we've booked for Sunday lunch and a Friday evening.
A true gem in the heart of the countryside.
Refined cuisine, a welcome and service worthy of Michelin-starred establishments.
We will definitely return for this delightful experience.
