Hotel du Dauphine sur Chatillon-En-Diois

While walking this day in Châtillon, we ate delicious ice creams (organic and homemade) in the afternoon in the restaurant and drank coffee. We were very well received, and listening to the glowing comments from customers finishing their meal, we wanted to have the evening meal there. It is indeed a treat. The mixtures, Dauphiné cuisine and exotic flavors are very pleasant. From the starter to the dessert and the main course, everything was perfect. The originality of the dishes is very successful. As for the Staff and Management, we had the pleasure of being welcomed and served with a smile and a professionalism worthy of great restaurants but very friendly. The prices are very reasonable. Congratulations to the entire team who deserve to succeed.

L'ambiance est agréable et tranquille, et le service sympa. Nous avons aimé les ravioles à la crème de citron, et les desserts maison.

Il a été facile de trouver une place pour le dîner et ça c'est un bon point. En revanche, on a eu le sentiment que la serveuse n'était pas très motivée, et malheureusement pas très gracieuse. C'est dommage. Pour les plats, on a déjà goûté des tajines meilleurs selon nous. Pour nous il y avait pas assez de légumes pour trop de pommes de terre. Bon ceci est une question de goût.

No knowledge of the hotel but we had lunch at the restaurant as the outdoor setting looks very attractive. We both chose the mixed "salade dauphine", alas, as it was very disappointing, with the smallest piece of soft cheese on top. Very pinched all round, we both thought. Salad dressing too was banal/mostly absent. Perhaps we just chose badly from the menu...

I only judge the restaurant because I didn't stay at the hotel. The exterior is charming and the facade of the hotel restaurant has been tastefully restored. The terrace overlooks the fountain and is shaded, which makes the whole thing very pleasant. The lady who does the seasonal service is very friendly and wants us to have a good time. The service for the bar is more random during the day, a little nonchalant sometimes. Concerning the cuisine, it is correct, certainly homemade, but nothing more. I had a rather ordinary dish of ravioli with morel sauce, which cost €19.9. The value for money is not there for the contents of the plate. The “tagine” dishes (23 and some € for the trout variant) are very present on the menu. It's good but in my opinion not really suitable for high heat. A little more variety would be nice (either ravioli or tagines as a dish).
