It was also a hotel with interesting history (shown in the menu book): "... Since 2011, Bristro Auberge Chez Truchon has occupied a magnificent historic house and chef Dominique Truchon has won a great reputation (with the Renaud-Cyr Chef Artisan prize in 2003). In 2018, the table at Chez Truchon was praised for his craft by guests of the G7 (Chef's Spouses and Husband and he United Kingdom's delegation)".

I had an amazing meal here. I came for the patio but left wanting to return for the food. The…read morepatio overlooks the river, but once seated it disappears from view. The preparation was on par and the flavors clear with focus. The osso bucco was so tender. Although not my flavor profile, I ate it all. It was prepared with bitter orange sauce with a fruit sweet which mellowed as I kept eating. I still prefer a savory version but hats off to keeping it balanced. I started with what I would call a deconstructed pot pie, but this version was with escargot. Ended with a creme brulee. To top it off at the end, the bill was reasonable. I have spent just as much for pub fare, but this was an elevated experience. It is located at the edge of the touristic zone across the street from the cathedral.

What could be below allergen non-friendly?…read more Ok so probably without my experience with this waitress and my intolerances, it would probably be a 4-5 stars as I could truly appreciate the aromas. I can truly say the decor is superb and from the people around us, people seemed to enjoy their dishes. I chose mainly this restaurant for my mother, telling myself I could always eat just a salad being vegan and gluten free by intolerances. When I asked if they had gluten free pasta the waitress told me no. Then I asked just for a green salad and she grimaced meaning no. I said ok, I guess there is not much I can eat ( most of their stuff is cooked in butter). She turned the menu around but when I explained to her, I felt her powerless. Now I understand my situation is difficult but in every restaurant I went in my life, most waitresses were like" wait I will go consult the cook and see what we can do". Nada. My mom was appalled and said, as the table next to us got a plate with rice, seafood and vegetable " well they could at least offer you rice and veggies cooked in oil". Then my mother's appetizer came in, with some greens in the middle. I said, well couldn't I get just something like that...salads and lemon juice...and she goes " I don't have salad , this is aragula". I looked at my mother and just bit my tongue. Unsure if this woman was just unressourceful, to remain polite, or if I was laughed at...cause there was this comment she made at the end of the evening, where I wondered if they took me seriously or not. Anyway I ended up not eating, letting my mother eat ( yes before some of you go " well why did you not just leave": my mother is with reduced mobility, hard to walk long ways and we were in the summer's busy touristic time...took us time to find an available restaurant) Note: when I shared my experience with a local place which had some beautiful options to offer, one of the girls asked me where I went. When I named The Batture she made a face which said it all( something like " oh ya, well"). So I guess it is great for most people, but truly ALLERGEN UNFRIENDLY. Waitresses are the extension of the image of restaurants, as a clerk is in a hotel, or in a store. I don't know if it is the chef's decision to not be accommodating or just the waitress ' inability to adapt.

Faux Bergers is not your typical restaurant, you don't just go there for food but also for the experience. I reserved a table online about a week in advance. They offer a 7 course meal from only the local ingredients in the region, almost each dish is explained to you before you taste it. I loved their cabbage salad with carp caviar, definitely a unique tasting dish. The service is great as well. I highly recommend this place if you consider yourself a foodie or just love trying out new things. You won't regret it!

They're located directly on the farm (actually a cheesemaking facility) in a space made for dining and are really passionate about their products. The menu is completely unknown which adds a little bit to the mystery. I would highly recommend you give them a call 48 hours in advance to mention things you don't eat, they're very accommodating. The wine card is short but nice, they're mostly private imports. There's a communal feeling to the whole thing as everyone arrives at the same time and eats at the same time. Every course comes with a thorough description of the ingredients' origins and how they were prepared. It's also a good deal for what you're getting/discovering. One thing they could work on is the dining area: the chairs could be upgraded. I never say this but we were somewhat uncomfortable throughout the evening.
