Auberge de Clochemerle Hôtel-spa privatif & Restaurant 1 étoile MICHELIN

The cuisine is absolutely exceptional! Each dish showcases a thoughtful balance of flavors, refined yet vibrant with seasonal ingredients that taste incredible. From delicate starters to beautifully plated mains, the execution is flawless and presentation artistic. The restaurant itself is cozy and inviting, with an intimate atmosphere that enhances the dining experience without feeling crowded. It’s an elegant setting where you can appreciate the food and enjoy a moment of calm ambience.

It is impossible to overstate how wonderful and perfect are both the rooms and the restaurant. Just superb in every detail with a wonderful staff team led by Romain and Delphine Barthe. And the view over the rolling hills of Beaujolais from the breakfast room is sublime. And the whole experience is greatly enhanced by having read 'Clochmerle' prior to arriving in the village.|We were lucky enough to have checked in on St Valentine Day, when Romain had developed a special menu, accompanied by wines chosen by Delphine. It was an experience for all the senses. Just wonderful. |The rooms are appointed to a level that one would expect from an establishment with such high standards.|A place in which every guest is made to feel special and welcomes.|We will definitely be back.

While the hotel is in a picturesque location, is well appointed and beautifully decorated, the real star is the kitchen. We booked one night at the hotel along with the tasting menu dinner at the restaurant. Wow! My wife and I have dined as some of the most famous restaurants in the world and our experience at the Auberge may be the best meal we've ever eaten (including the famous French Laundry). The chef is an artist who incorporates Japanese plating techniques into his French dishes that feature the Beaujolais region's fresh ingredients. His wife is the Sommelier and while the wine list is extensive, it's best to let her pour some local gems. If you're planning a trip to the Burgundy region, do yourself a favor and spend one or two days here. You won't regret it.

Very welcoming team in a beautiful beaujolais area. Rooms are just perfect. We had dinner at the "Auberge" and experimented subtil and very qualitative dishes Romain Barthe prepared. A nex way of cooking and assembling texture, taste...A rela pleasure

This review covers the hotel rather than the restaurant, for which I have written a separate review.||The hotel itself is excellent. We had two separate rooms and both were excellent. The standard is good and we had a good sleep.||The breakfast is excellent. All very fresh and comprehensive. The breakfast room overlooking the vineyards gets off your day to a lovely start and the white chocolate mouse is just wonderful.

For a small village/town, a restaurant of this quality blows my mind. I have eaten cuisine of this style before and I do enjoy the variety and presentation. Many amuse bouche were enjoyed, almost too innumerable to have a clear memory. Some repeated garnish made dishes blend together in my mind and it is clear that a lot of fine process takes place in the kitchen. We chose three courses with wine paring and then took a cheese course at a supplement. I was not grossly full as the portions are light and some dishes were delicious, I'm afraid to say that some were on the bland side, with indistinct flavours. This surprised me because I see the amount of effort that goes into presentation, perhaps scale that back a little. The service was excellent and English was available to most of the waiting staff. One USP I want to mention, you will be asked what ingredients you don't eat, from a list. Your courses will be created for you on this basis, you won't know what's coming until it arrives. Not sure I really like this as I prefer to enjoy the anticipation of my selection. All in all, a great experience.

The rooms are lovely. The meal was delicious. Be sure to find out what drinks are included and their price. We were given a sparkling wine drink we thought was complimentary, if we did not like and it cost us 12 euros each. Explanations in English were a bit lacking. There is very little in the town.

The Auberge has comfortable modern rooms and an amazing restaurant. Dinner was a delight to the eye and every dish was amazing.|It is worth the short detour off the motorway when travelling south to the Mediterranean. The attention to detail and wonderful staff make this a fantastic experience

Fantastic restaurant. It's more than a meal, it's an experience. Rated Michelin 1 star, but I think it should be two stars.... at least. For those of you wondering, can a meal be worth the price, first... It's not THAT much more than a mediocre restaurant; second, you will remember this meal. Go with the mid priced 'chef's surprise'. It's 9 or 10 courses (even though they call it 3 plus cheese and desert) and.... enjoy !
