Hostellerie Levernois Gourmed Restaurant has the best food, service and wine list in the area.
The Hostellerie Levernois has, in addition to a bistro, a fantastic gourmet Restaurant. And like the hotel, the restaurant is also a member of the Relais & Châteaux.
A visit to this restaurant is much more than just the food. The driveway is stunning. On your way up to the house you will pass a lovely stream, amazing flowers and tall and wonderful trees. You should definitely enjoy an aperitif outside in the garden. It is large, aristocratic and just beautiful. I almost wish they had tables outside so we could enjoy the whole meal in these wonderful surroundings.
The restaurant is quite lovely inside too. It has round tables and a modern design. The staff is polite, efficient and French, but they smile and exert impeccable service and goes the extra mile if necessary.
The menu is set or a la cart. The terrine of foie gras, the lobster, the beef and the pigeon are all great choices. But what ever you choose to eat, do NOT miss out on the cheese. I love cheese, and there is no one who does cheese like the French. And of all the plates of cheese I have had, this is by far the best. The cheese waiter makes great suggestions based on your preferences, and he also knows what wine that best will complete the experience. Just writing about this makes my mouth water…
It is no problem bringing your kids to this restaurant. Contradictory to a lot of other French restaurants, the managers here have worked in other countries and know that if they make your kids happy, the parents will enjoy the voyage even more.
The warm grand mariner soufflé makes for a perfect finale to the enjoyable meal, but the sorbets are also yummy.
When it comes to the wine, the Hostellerie Levernois Gourmed Restaurant has a great list, and they have included a lot of the local wineries in addition to the most common bottles from all of France. We enjoyed the Arlaud Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Aux Cheseaux 2007. It was fruity and elegant and drinks well now.
Regardless of what you choose to both eat and drink, I promise that a visit to Hostellerie Levernois Gourmed Restaurant, through the unforgettable garden and including all the elements, will never be forgotten.
