Auberge de la Foret

it was like something of a bad movie...absolutely terrible. I think the owners were drunk and the hire was terrible. it was lonely bad

the atmosphere was cool, friendly and efficient. eating was really good. worth was great. the creation is something from a wes Anderson film only warmer.

Good food freshly cooked, small menu, at least at lunch time, but sufficient for most people. Friendly and prompt service. Booking for evenings. Worth making the drive. Speisekarte ansehen

the new administration will be installed. eating is nothing spectacular, it must be admitted, but absolutely in order. the forest landscape is still beautiful, and the team that runs the auberge is very pleasant. the report on the development has been excreted.

the venue looks a little tired, but the staff was young and enthusiastic. the menu was a strange mix of Italian, French and American menu items. eating was in order without being stunning. visit them when they are in the opposite, as there are not too many good alternatives.

This is an amazing place. Enormous oak tables, seating up to twenty people, usually families in happy groups. The menu is quite different, with choices for each course, and it is well presented. Good quantities of well prepared and tasty offerings. Good sized portions and...attentive waiting staff. It is an experience as a non French person to go to a restaurant like this which is obviously loved by the local French people. Enormous amount of parking and the meals seem to go on for ever .. often starting at and finishing at Fun to visit! Speisekarte ansehen

The Auberge de la Forêt was a real lucky find. The location is superb, it's off the beaten track nestled in the forest between the forest of old oak chestnut trees.

We sat outside and listened to the nostalgic playlist whilst we dined. Excellent Efficient service, just a pity we discovered this auberge at the end of our trip, if we had more time we would definitely return. They have relaxing chairs under the trees where you can relax with a drink after a walk in the forest.

Along a road in the middle of the forest near Mervent, this restaurant looms out of the greenery and looks really welcoming. The welcome inside is just as good. There were six of us, we had not booked but they rearranged some tables for us....The menu is reassuringly simple, with a choice of three from each of entree, main and dessert. Yet there's something that most people would like. Between us we had the salad or egg stuffed with mushroom entree and then the fish with vegetables or steak and chips. I would have been happy with any of these combinations. Dessert was a chestnut mousse, again, this was exceptional. In common with most such restaurants in France there was a bonjour from a cou...

I reviewed this place .. a few weeks ago. Sadly, I mistakenly put the review for another hotel in Mervent in, instead of the correct review for this place. It is a tiny rather quaint little restaurant/hotel/bar, with very pleasant hotel staff, it's clean and...its welcoming. A great place to cycle to, drive to or indeed walk to, through the Mervent forest, where it sits hidden away. This is not a smart restaurant, but the food is really tasty and well served. The tables are spaciously placed, and the whole ambience is that of a country pub. The menu is varied and excellent value and the place on each time we have been there is well filled with mainly French people. We would recommend it if y... Speisekarte ansehen
