Auberge Bressane

Lovely outdoor eating in a cool, shaded courtyard. (Weather very hot) Poulet de Bresse in cream sauce was good.

A fine French dining experience! Most kind and caring host and hostesses made sure we are welcomed and treated like family.

We ended up in the Auberge Bressane by chance. We were on our way back to Paris from the Alps and decided to stop for lunch in Bourg en Bresse and have what is reputed to be the best chicken in the world, the Poulet de Bresse. We found what looked like a traditional restaurant through Google as we wanted the classic preparation, nothing too fancy. It turned out this restaurant was an ode to the famous chicken. There were ceramic statues of chickens everywhere. The location couldn’t have been better, right across the street from the Monastère de Brou and they gave us a table with a magnificent view. There were a number of different preparations of the poulet de bresse. We had the one with Morrell sauce. It was excellent. The meat was firm but moist. My wife ordered a glass of Chablis. It was good and very generously poured. I was driving so I passed. The service was extremely friendly and quick which made for a perfect stopover.

Lovely dinner in a very nice setting. Delicious scallops with leeks and asparagus

Top service restaurant. Nice location in front of the Abbey, good quality food.

On our way to Paris the very best way to refill our stomachs and souls. Gerome is the very best host. All courses great. The chef a real gentleman. Looking forward to being back. Rare exceptional kindness.

Without doubt the best restaurant in Bourg-en-Bresse. Really exceptional service.

Arrogant waiters, did not give accurate information on dishes, food is not bad but too much fruit everywhere, dishes overly sweet and price is too expensive for the quality offered.
