Restaurant Le Vieux Puits

Wonderful Hotel with restaurant, traditional French hotel amidst lovely gardens. Very French , the owners Sylvie

We visited on a hot evening with a family of 7 including grandparents, parents and 3 well behaved children. We were shown seats on the terrace. The youngest child wanted to visit the garden where he could see play equipment and thus instantly brought out staff berating him and us as there was apparently an unfriendly goat nearby. The child was not approaching the goat. Several of our party had the sun streaming in on us and it was very hot. Despite having cantilever umbrellas the staff were very reluctant to move these to provide shade. They told us to wait ten minutes until the sun went down. In fact the sun didn't go down for at least 20 minutes and we had to move seats around. We were them made to feel uncomfortable because we had not decided our meal choices. We were not offered an aperitif. All in all the service was very poor and not all all suited to children. We might have thought they would have been pleased to have a party of seven. There was no menu for children.

We stopped for lunch today. Set menu. Crab avocado salad for entree Wonderful. Followed by poisson. Also very good. The fish was melt in your mouth. Highly recommend this eatery. Flavours go very well with the champagne you will have been tasting in the morning.

Tired after a event rich tour in Beaune and Chablis, we arrived and were met by a very kind woman who really made us feel welcome. The place has a few rooms, all with high standard. Nicely decorated in expected French style. A wonderful garden outside richly planted with colorful flowers. The main thing that deserves a comment is the kitchen. Lean back and enjoy! When in Champagne- drink Champagne, and this place has a list with a range of excellent samples from blanc de blanc to blanc de noir. This is one of the few places, even in Champagne that serve the wine with the right temperature- frais and not frois.

Terrific 4 course lunch during our champagne tour with Chris-Events. Fish appetizer, veal terrine main follow by delicious hake and finish with chocolate dessert and espresso. Served glasses of champagne and nice house red.
