L'Ancienne Auberge 1900 · Brasserie Georges Blanc

The Old Inn at the Village Blanc is like stepping into a time capsule. Where the kitchen lovingly recreates the authentic repertoire of family dishes with regional accents passed down through 3 generations of talented Mother Cooks before Georges BLANC. The moment I walk in, I'm greeted by the warm ambiance of beautiful landscapes, open areas and a sunset getting ready to join us. 🍴Now, let's talk about the food! Each dish is a celebration of tradition and flavor. I can't resist indulging in the traditional Bresse Poultry with Cream, a dish prepared just as Mère BLANC used to make it. 🍷It paired perfectly with a 2021 Domaine Petitot Savigny Les Beaune "Les Pimentintiers" For full write up🍷🍴📝 follow IG @journeythruflavors

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of L’Ancienne Auberge in Vonnas. Georges Blanc has done wonders generally for the French gastronomy with this foodie village. He is also coming to say hi to each table even in this brasserie (which is not the 3 Michelin star restaurants) thus props to him. Food is solid here and pays tribute to classic of the region (chicken of Bresses eg) but is abit overpriced in my humble opinion. Maybe better to save for the starred restaurant for a special occasion. They also accomodated my Tesla charging on short notice. Overally I give thus five stars but would give four if it were for the food only.

Great ambience. Great service. Great food. Yes you’re paying for the name and the history. Yes it’s probably still over priced. And it doesn’t deserve the one and two star ratings at all. Our server even let these silly Americans take home our leftovers. 😂🇫🇷💕🙏🏼

If you want a very authentic representation of the local cuisine, you can’t go wrong coming here. You will pay a premium for eating at the original establishment of Georges Blanc’s family, but it’s well worth the experience. Very friendly and attentive service. Their volaille de Bresse with morels is a must-have.

Beautiful restaurant everything was amazing. The decoration of the room is great, nice garden view as well. The food was exquisite and the wine list with great choices. I am very happy we went and can only recommend it

Just drove to this town in France to visit the George Blanc Restaurant L'Ancienne and stay at the hotel. Based on my experience it is not worth the drive and the food was not great. I read the specialties and it seems that anything related to poultry was good along with other local specialties. The poultry was cooked in advance - warmed over and the warm morel sauce added. I was unable to cut the meat of the poultry with the knife provided and asked for something more appropriate - to this the waiter responded they they run free hence the toughness of the meat. They come to take your order with a tablet and all you hear is the tapping of the pen on the hand held device - more like a fast food restaurant approach rather than this restaurant of a well documented chef.

Salad was just bag mix (a little tired at that) over beets and crumbled hard cooked egg, a few walnut halves. Hardly innovative.Too much vinaigrette. The specialty of stuffed cabbage with chanterelles was undercooked meat, possibly pork wrapped in tough cabbage leaves, in a old style sauce with a chanterelle cut into four pieces strategically placed at 12, 3, 6, and 9. Dessert was a poached pear in cassis wine. All in all mediocre at best for the price and that was, with a coffee and one glass, 58€. And they don’t even have in house meringues…from a box. The box is for sale in their patisserie.

Came for lunch, had excellent service and outstanding food at a reasonable price.
