“Nous sommes allés dans cette auberge pour fêter un anniversaire et nous avons passé un moment absolument magnifique. Le cadre est tout simplement sublime, chaleureux et plein de charme. On s’y sent bien dès l’arrivée. La cuisine est délicieuse, généreuse et authentique — vraiment comme chez grand-mère, avec des portions copieuses et des saveurs réconfortantes. L’ambiance est très familiale, conviviale et agréable. Les vins étaient parfaitement accordés avec les plats, ce qui a rendu l’expérience encore plus réussie. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir. Merci pour ce beau moment !”

“I was surprised to find out a vegan option in such a remote restaurant. I ordered a tofu steak with vegetables. In all honesty, I found my dish a little bland and the portion was too small. Despite having had a starter and a main course I had to fill my stomach with bread. The strong point of this place is without contest its waitress. With her bubbly personality she entertained us all evening long!”

“Une très belle découverte ! Nous avons mangé à l’auberge ruxellier à Chenimenil à l’occasion de l’anniversaire des enfants d’une amie, et quelle belle surprise ! Le cadre est magnifique, dépaysant, on se sent tout de suite ailleurs. Nous avons très bien mangé, les plats étaient délicieux. Les propriétaires sont adorables, accueillants et attentionnés. Nous avons passé un très beau moment, autant pour les adultes que pour les enfants. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir prochainement. Nous recommandons vivement cette auberge !”
