Hotel Le Mont Blanc — Restaurant in Bouillon

Bouillon was recommended to us as a charming destination by staff at a cafe where we had lunch about an hour away. The town is very lovely, set on a river where you can rent paddle boats, etc. Ancient castle is situated up on a hill above the town. Many of the small hotels in town were booked (Hotel de la Poste looked especially nice); so we ended up at Hotel Mont Blanc.||This tiny little hotel (I think only 7 rooms) had obviously been recently remodeled. Room and bath were very, very tiny (think more like Paris) but immaculate and everything was functional. Location was perfect for strolling along the river and walking around town (not a very big town). Young couple who appeared to be proprietors were the only desk and kitchen staff. Room with double bed was 79 Euros including a very nice continental breakfast.||Other stuff: I speak French, so we were okay, but they did not seem to speak much if any English. We ate dinner at their restaurant and had a very good meal. Parking is only on-street parking, but we were lucky to get a spot right across the street...

J'ai découvert Le Mont-Blanc lors d'une virée moto avec des amis et ce fut une excellente surprise ! Le restaurant, géré par le duo passionné de Dina en salle et Nino en cuisine, mérite amplement son succès.

Nous étions un groupe de 7 personnes et chacun a été conquis. Pour ma part, j'ai opté pour le vol-au-vent maison (que je recommande), c'est le meilleur que j'aie jamais mangé : la sauce est onctueuse, le poulet effiloché, et les frites maison à la graisse de bœuf sont juste parfaites. Mes amis ont aussi beaucoup apprécié leurs plats, que ce soit les boulettes artisanales à la bière d'Orval ou la truite d'Ardenne servie meunière.

Il est important de souligner que la qualité des produits est au rendez-vous. Le pain fait maison au levain naturel est un vrai plus, et l'engagement de l'équipe à travailler avec des producteurs locaux est admirable. Le cadre est agréable, l'ambiance chaleureuse, et la communication par mail pour la réservation était très efficace.

Le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. Nous nous en sommes sortis pour 32 € par personne, boissons et cafés inclus, ce qui est très raisonnable pour une telle qualité.

PS : je n'ai pas logé à l'hôtel !

Un restaurant à ne pas manquer lors d'un passage...
