Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Doubs

09/07/2025: We decided at the last minute to cancel our stay in Pontarlier, hoping to discover this little gem in the Doubs region. The breathtaking view of the lake, the elevator, the air conditioning, and the parking were the deciding factors in choosing this establishment. The reservation went smoothly, and it was with bad weather (wind, rain, and 14 degrees Celsius) that we arrived at Malbuisson. The reception by a woman from the North was exceptionally warm. Explanations were given with a big smile, and even assistance was provided to our room. It made us forget the winter temperatures. The suite has everything we need: space and luxury, very comfortable bedding, a large bathroom with a whirlpool bath and a walk-in shower. Two televisions with limited programs, but the Wi-Fi is very stable for streaming! The breakfast is partly buffet-style, partly served at the table with a big smile. The lady who prepares breakfast and also cleans the rooms is extremely kind and helpful. Nothing to complain about. Granted, we're in the upper range at €240 a night, but considering the location, comfort, and amenities, we consider it to be a decent value for money. Regarding the restaurant, we can't confirm the reviews that speak of inefficient service. We spent more than two hours at the table for three à la carte courses in a very full room. The menu is limited, but we knew that, which is why we only ate there twice. Burgers, salads, and two fish/meat dishes. The quality was acceptable. The second evening was much more disappointing. The foie gras was excellent, but the €36 piece of beef couldn't be cut properly with a steak knife or chewed. There were two meat dishes: the chef refused to prepare the pork ribs because of the heatwave; it should be noted that the temperature was 18 degrees at 3:00 p.m., barely 12 degrees in the evening, and below 10 degrees at night. Plus, you had to eat the main course with the cutlery you used for the starter. For an unacceptable bill of €150. My husband had ordered ice cream for dessert, I had an iced soufflé. My husband received his ice cream after fifteen minutes. I waited in vain for my dessert. Half an hour later, I decided to give up and ask for the bill when suddenly the soufflé appeared. In short, the hotel's value for money is good; avoid the restaurant. Le Reflets, 2 km away, offers gourmet cuisine at lower prices. Very popular with locals, so reservations are recommended.

19/06/2025: We made a reservation for 7:30 p.m. We arrived at 7 p.m. for an aperitif. The setting is beautiful. The service was slow, so we finally had to go to the bar to order. At the table, it was the same story. The order took a long time, and the main course was served at least 45 minutes after ordering. Regarding the prices. For the price of a main course, you can get the market menu at the Hotel de France (a gourmet restaurant in Villers-le-Lac, with an exceptional starter, main course, and dessert). There, clearly, 31 euros for 5 mini perch fillets, 2 mini trout and eel tartare quenelles, and dry fries. We paid for the view... the beers were offered to us in view of the wait... thank you. I won't be going back.

13/12/2025: A truly exceptional pub! Small in size, certainly, but huge in atmosphere. The place is very warm, friendly, and above all, enlivened by excellent music that immediately sets the mood. We went there with friends and we loved it. A great atmosphere, simple, genuine, and pleasant. A place to remember and recommend without hesitation 🍻🎶

07/10/2025: Great value for money. The Italian salad + the Bistro Burger = a treat!

24/08/2025: Given the comments... we wanted to form our own opinion while out on a motorcycle ride with friends, and well... here it is. Welcome... No welcome 👌 The manager told us: I can't make you anything to eat, the cook isn't here, she's lazy... Great... 🤢 So we asked him what he could offer us. He told us cheese and charcuterie boards, to which we replied, well, great 👍😀 No table service for drinks. The tables weren't clean and weren't cleared, even though when we arrived there were two tables of four in total. In short... The boards were ridiculous. A few slices of cheese, the thickness of a sheet of tracing paper, I'd say. 50g of cheese, a slice of dry-cured ham, and two slices of sausage. On arrival €21 / person He only takes cash... no thanks... We're at the top. 👍 In short, don't make up your own mind... move on.

28/01/2026: This brewery has good products, they are generous in terms of quantity and quality, plus the managers are very, very simple and friendly.

16/01/2026: The kind of restaurant you go into by mistake and on your way out you think you would have been better off eating a SNCF sandwich

20/02/2026: Avoid this hotel at all costs. Our room door was open when we arrived. The hygiene was questionable. And to top it all off, there was no breakfast even though we had paid for it the day before. The restaurant was simply closed.

02/02/2026: This hotel doesn't deserve its 3 stars. Yellow sheets, leaky toilet, exposed air conditioning unit posing a risk of electrocution, dirty floor. Smell of cigarettes in the reception area. The only positive point is its location near shops. The reception and housekeeping staff are adequate. The negative point is the deplorable condition of the hotel, which needs to be addressed!
