Découvrez le meilleur restaurant en Saint-Jean-De-Niost

14/08/2026: Honestly… more beautiful than delicious. The setting and presentation are quite pleasant, but unfortunately, that's where the experience ends. We waited 40 minutes before we could even order, then another hour before receiving our appetizers. We had to ask three times for a simple carafe of water… At this point, it's not just a wait, it's clearly a lack of organization. The service was very cold, impersonal, and clearly impersonal. No special attention, no real interaction; we really felt like we were just there to get the tables turned over. And the bill? €168 for four people, just the set menus. For that price, we obviously expected much better. The fish was literally swimming in butter, which left a bad taste in my stomach. The tomatoes were completely bland and tasteless, and overall, we found the dishes very disappointing for the price. We did, however, take the time to express our disappointment to the person who served us. Their response? In essence: "Yes, okay, sorry, but these are exceptional products." No self-reflection, no gesture of goodwill, nothing. Apparently, calling the products "exceptional" is enough to justify the price and end the discussion. 😅 I remain frankly perplexed by the numerous positive reviews… We clearly didn't have the same experience. For our part, we absolutely do not recommend this restaurant. At €214 for four people with drinks, we have the right to expect much better, both in terms of the food and the service.

14/08/2026: Stayed in nearby Blyes for a night. Found this restaurant online, looked very good, menu very interesting. So we took a quick drive and came for dinner. Since Saturday we've made an online reservation a few days before. A good thing, since it was pretty packed that night. Parking was just across the street. Very convenient. It was a warm summer evening, so we booked a table outside, as almost all guests did. We did come pretty early, so we got our orders in pretty fast. For starters we've went for the hot Foie Gras (the both of us). For the mains we chose the Filet de Boeuf with Chimichurri sauce and the Tartare de crevettes aux épices with Ajo Blanco et hareng fumé (smoked Herring). All the dishes were really nicely presented, colorful - a feast for your eyes. A complementary Amuse-bouche was served as well. But also taste-wise all dishes were winners! The beef was a fantastic piece, perfectly cooked as ordered. Juicy, tender. Great flavours. The shrimp tartare with herring was very innovative, quite fresh and light. A great summer dish! And the Foie Gras was excellent. A nice, generous piece and a sweet/brioche bread. Really matched wonderfully. The beef came with a side of sweet potatoes mash with regular potatoes. Very nice. The bottle of Chardonnay did fit the meal very well. Staff was nice and friendly. And the prices are fair for the presentation and quality of ingredients. Paid around 130 Euros for everything. A real gem, this one. Nice setting, very comfy, cosy and relaxed. Pets welcome as well. Come early if you want to avoid the big crowds and make a reservation. It surely is a great restaurant and worth a drive. Fantastic french food with some creative twists!
