26/11/2024: We booked a Junior Suite for 2 nights. The building was gorgeous although on a road, the 10 rooms face in the opposite direction and even with windows open we were not disturbed by traffic noise.
The room was generous in size and comfortable with two windows looking out over the river on the first floor and a large comfortable bed. My only comment was it was rather dark due to the choice in decoration, the bathroom had a large walk-in shower and good lighting. Wifi was available which worked well, there was also a coffee machine and a minibar.
There was a quiet seating area located at the top of the stairs for guests and plenty of outside seating on the terrace overlooking the river.
We had dinner at the hotel on the first night. The menu was small but carefully considered. There were only two other couples eating that evening - which was a shame, although on the second evening the restaurant was much busier. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Service was friendly and unhurried.
To start we had:
L'asperge, filet de canette séchée, crumble de parmesan
Chantilly a l'aillet (Asparagus, dried duck fillet, parmesan crumble, spring onion chantilly) and Taboulé de quinoa asiatique, variation de radis, Œuf confit au soja (Asian quinoa tabbouleh, radish, soy confit egg)
Followed by:
Le veau confit, croustillant aux olives,
Déclinaison brocolis / pack Choi, jus corsé (Veal confit, crispy with olives, broccoli variation / pak choi and Seared Scallops (was not on the menu) maybe a ‘special’
Desserts were:
L'ananas poché, avocat épicé, sorbet ananas
Meringue soufflée bergamote (Poached pineapple, spicy avocado, pineapple sorbet Bergamot soufflé meringue) and Le mille-feuille tout chocolat, Sablé cacao, grué, glace praliné/pécan (The all-chocolate mille-feuille, Cocoa shortbread, nibs, praline/pecan ice cream)
After a good sleep we had breakfast in the morning consisting of croissants, bread, yogurt etc.
The hotel is well located to visit the many sights within this wonderful area and we very much enjoyed our stay. The only negative was Check-in was frustratingly late at 17.30!
17/11/2024: We had lunch this summer and were very satisfied with our stay.
So we decided to invite a couple of friends to let them know your table. Done this Wednesday, November 13. It is with great pleasure that I confirm the very good quality of the dishes we tasted. Retired restaurant chef, well done for the work done, presentations, little touches of appetizer and end of meal, young women attentive service with their little hesitations which confirm the interest they have in their profession. Some products were missing: salmon, replaced by excellent sea bream, not enough sturgeon, no problem on the contrary it proves that nothing is lying around in the fridges.
Congratulations again for this very beautiful stage at a very reasonable price, congratulations to the two young girls at the service.
See you soon
