We spent three days in Chalon and stayed at the B&B Hotel Chalon in St. Rémy. About 600 meters from the hotel, we ate every evening at the restaurant La Grenouille Gourmande, where the owners are very welcoming. The food is excellent, including the calf's head, prawns, and frogs' legs that we enjoyed.
Don't hesitate to go; it's excellent, and we received very good service and a warm welcome. We will definitely eat there again when we return to Chalon.
You can go there for the frogs' legs, as they are very good, but definitely not for the rest, as it's very disappointing. Bagged salad. Tasteless, low-quality chorizo. Ortollan and Reblochon cheeses that aren't farm-made.
The waitress was very helpful and cheerful.
Family meal, we were craving frogs' legs.
They were quite good.
However, when we made a comment, the waitress was unpleasant and offered no alternative. For example, the pitcher of rosé had a Madeira-like taste.
The restaurant's decor could use a little updating.
A place to remember! A real restaurant, just the way we like them! Authentic and delicious cuisine... frogs' legs, eggs meurette, calf's head... and more... pure bliss! A simple and warm welcome... we had a wonderful time and will be back!
Thank you!
