Le Four a Bois sur Vichy

13/10/2025: My husband treated me to a weekend in Vichy with a "travel" dinner and a night at the hotel for my birthday. We chose to have dinner in the evening: the meal was excellent, and we had the chance to tour the kitchens during the service, which was a wonderful experience. A few negative points, however: • The dishes were served a little too quickly, which cut short the enjoyment of the meal. • At the beginning of the service, I was asked my wine pairing preferences. I specified that I didn't like red wine, and they confirmed that white would be available. Unfortunately, the instruction was clearly not passed on: I was served two glasses of red, which I declined, with no offer of replacement. • It's also a shame that coffee isn't included in the "travel" menu. Regarding the room, we had requested breakfast in the room. At 10:00 a.m., we had to call reception, who were waiting for us downstairs. They were finally able to bring it up, but it took us a bit of time, which was a shame. Overall, we have very fond memories of this stay. This was our second visit, and we'll be happy to return next time, at another time of year, to discover new seasonal dishes.

03/10/2025: Thank you to the entire team at the beautiful Décoret establishment for allowing us to have such a pleasant time yesterday during a lunch that we would describe as memorable. Not a single false note from starter to dessert. Impeccable service, precise explanations of the dishes, and perfectly balanced flavors and tastes on the plate. The icing on the cake was that we were able to see the work that goes into the kitchen by having the chance to chat with the chef. We are in awe.... Having the chance to compare ourselves with certain Michelin-starred establishments, we don't understand how such a place hasn't yet received its second star. We simply hope that this error will be corrected in 2026 by the Red Guide. Thank you, Chef, and sincere congratulations to you and your entire team.
