"I think my family has been going to this restaurant for the last 15 years, always for lunch as we prefer not to drive at night from our city. My parents have a house nearby although a lot of us live overseas. The food is excellent, for us it is like a ceremony, we all dress up to go there! First, there is the warm welcome of Mrs. Gillot and her invaluable butler and his great humour and also the younger butler who is all bubbly and cheerful. Then there is the aperitif Gougères, cheese sticks and mini-croque-monsieur, all homemade although I have not eaten them much as my kids always steal them away from me... I cannot have enough of their little thin freshly baked breads, like "mini baguettes". Oh my Oh my... The menus are great, you do not have to take the expensive ones, there is a simple one as well. The food is excellent. My parents are absolutely crazy about the crayfish in the summer or the veal with morilles mushrooms. I love their foie gras appetiser. They have a great "plateau de fromages", cheese tray with an excellent assortment of cheeses from the area. Go for the goat cheeses, they are very good in this area. I discovered one there: a cow milk cheese full of raisins. Scrumptious. The desserts are plentiful, you will need to choose them at the beginning of the meal as some need special preparation. The photos posted by the other customers will show you the impeccable taste Mr. Gillot has in presenting his desserts. They have great dishes by the way, which they regularly change. In 15 years, we have witnessed the changes! I love Mr. Gillot's passion for cuisine. He spoke to my teenager who had a few questions about the job of chef. His answers were kind and full of love for his craft. We just love this place. Careful though: one warning! There is at the entrance of that street-village where the Auberge is a very nasty speed radar so SLOW DOWN at the entrance as soon as you see the 50km panel because my brother was flashed twice by that blasty radar and lost some points on his driving licence. You have been warned!!!!"
