El Sol sur Auch

08/05/2026: It's a real joy, always delicious.

26/04/2026: Tonight, we tried the cuisine at the Hôtel de France for the first time. I wanted to take my wife because it had been a long time since we'd been able to spend some time alone together without the children. I was looking for a place, a moment, an atmosphere that felt like us. I found everything I was looking for there. A luxurious setting, but not overly so, a simple and pleasant interaction with everyone—from reception to service and the kitchen staff—a special moment that felt like home, like the Southwest of France. This "home" I'm talking about is even reflected in the food, the aroma, the flavor of a chicken and pea broth, just like when I was a child at my parents' house. Back then, during the chore of harvesting peas, the only joy for that little boy was eating a few peas from a burst pod and the leftover chicken broth from the previous day, seasoned with vermicelli, at lunchtime. The surprising taste of red mullet with a duck jus was a delightful surprise. And what about the quail, served with a variety of sauces, purée, basil emulsion, small mushrooms, onions, and more? In short, I'll stop listing all the dishes. The conclusion of this review is simple: thank you to the entire team at the Hôtel de France for this wonderful experience. See you soon.
