We ate at the Auberge de la Besse after seeing a video that presented the cuisine as regional and original (rooster's comb, pig's head, snails, parsley sauce, chicken liver pâté, crayfish coulis, etc.) for €45, but we didn't know much more.
We were a little taken aback by the service, although very friendly: no menu (number of courses or allergies), no prices, and no list of aperitifs either, assuming we already knew what to expect.
The wine list, although heavily redacted, is very well curated and reasonably priced (only by the bottle to see the price).
The meal began with charcuterie and bread, followed by two soups, also with bread. The dishes weren't presented, and we asked about the menu when the third starter (beef carpaccio, which was very good) arrived, as it seemed like a long wait (two hours before the main course). The water ran out during the meal.
We finished eating after three hours, a little disappointed despite the food being quite good and the staff remaining welcoming, although a bit overwhelmed.
We paid €48 per set menu instead of €45 as indicated on the website and only discovered the price of our drinks at the register.
I wouldn't discourage anyone from going there, but for the price of the set menu, we felt the food and service weren't up to par.
There's absolutely nothing, Nadia. You'll get your money's worth. But you need to be well-prepared financially. On the other hand, you can have a lot of fun.
A fantastic and successful culinary experience across all courses of the menu. This chef clearly loves and understands their craft. The historic ambiance provided all the ingredients for a wonderfully relaxed and enjoyable evening.
Many thanks to our kind hosts.
