04/10/2026: Good food and a beautiful dining room
03/10/2026: There are brunches that leave you feeling satisfied… and then there's the one at Auberge de la Bruche, which leaves you wondering if it was really wise to have dinner that evening. 😈
A truly wonderful discovery in a magnificent setting: a charming house, tasteful decor, and genuine attention to detail.
From the moment we arrived, the welcome was impeccable: smiling, friendly, helpful, efficient, and professional staff. In short, pleasant enough to make us momentarily forget that we had come primarily to eat. A lot. A whole lot.
First excellent point: beautifully set tables, complete with tablecloths and cloth napkins. It might seem trivial, but in a world where a paper napkin folded into a triangle sometimes tries to pass itself off as elegance, it's a welcome touch. 😉
And as for the brunch itself, it was a resounding success.
The buffet is generous, varied, beautifully presented, and above all, features many homemade dishes. Special mention—and our stomachs fully endorse this ranking—goes to the mini-burgers, the freshly grilled prawn skewers, the excellent butternut squash salad with cream cheese, the homemade gravlax salmon… and the mirabelle plum crème brûlée, which are probably a legally valid reason to return several times. 😇
The presentation is particularly refined, and you can sense the real culinary work behind the buffet, not just a collection of dishes left there waiting for customers.
Now, because a completely glowing Google review might seem like it was written under the threat of a prawn skewer, let's look for two small things to improve.
A few extra place settings near the buffet would be appreciated when you're switching from savory to sweet, then sweet to savory, and then back to sweet again because you clearly lack willpower.
And it's sometimes a little difficult to know who does what among the staff. Without calling for the return of the penguin uniform from another century 🐧, a discreet dress code, a common color, or simply a badge would make it easier to identify the team and would, in our opinion, be perfectly consistent with the establishment's high-quality image.
Finally, a special mention goes to the head waiter wearing glasses who was working upstairs in the brunch area and who also took our payment. Unfortunately, we didn't think to ask his name, but he might recognize himself: his welcome, smile, professionalism, and availability were impeccable from start to finish. 👏
In short: a beautiful setting, a welcoming and professional team, a generous brunch, homemade food, elegant presentation, and beautifully presented dishes.
We came to try it out.
We left satisfied, delighted, and with the firm intention of returning.
Our scale, however, is currently considering filing a complaint. 😈
Well done to the whole team at Auberge de la Bruche!
