Au P'tit Gouter - Reservar una mesa

We traveled to Chavignol to visit Domaine Deleporte at 5 PM for a tour and wine tasting. An excellent visit and some first class wines. Afterward we felt like having something to eat and another couple visiting the domaine suggested a restaurant just up the street. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed that night but the associated bistro was to open at 7. We sampled more local wine at the bar and then decided it was getting too late to wait further. On our way back we passed a small, unobtrusive bistro that was open and decided to check it out. Ambiance? A small dining area, bare wooden tables and a menu on a chalk board! We decided to take a chance...and what a surprise. Our meal include...

This little family restaurant in Chavignol was recommended by several on line services so we gave it a try. We made reservations for 8pm but they asked if we could do 7:30 as they would be very busy at 8pmWhen we arrived we were the first and only guests for a while. Our young server was sweet and charming and catered to our needs helping us through the local menu.The four of us enjoyed both our rosé and our entire meal. Three things stood stood out for us#1 it is a little pricy at 110€ for the four of us#2 we were clearly the outsiders here and we noticed that every other guest received a healthier serving of wine than our four glasses and healthier portions of dishes served especially the...

Gilles DuBois loves goat cheese, so much, he incorporates it into almost everything he prepares at this little restaurant. And, it works. We stopped for lunch and our favorite was the Goat Cheese and Beet Terrine. The chicken breast with goat cheese, butter and cream, was really good. Crottin cheese was also incorporated into the mashed potatoes side dish, making an pleasant change from ordinary potatoes. Highly recommend pairing your meal with a glass of Sancerre from Alain Gueneau. Finished with cheese for desert, Gilles made the selection for me. Absoluetly wonderful, but it came with a warning - to eat the cheese rind - but of course. Apparently too many American visitors are trimming it...

I never come back to this restaurant! The service was never there... the waiter was not familiar with the menu and could not answer basic questions regarding the menu. We ordered salade petit goûter, the salad was brown instead off green. The dish looked and tasted not good! Me and my brother ordered meat with maison fries, the fries were swimming in their own fat. They were overcooked and very brown. It was such a shame as this restaurant was recommended and unfortunately it was the worst restaurant we have eaten during our week's holiday in this region. We had to take coffee and desert in another place!

Which isn't something one does in France. I didn't. But he was fun and kind, he really wanted us to love our dinners, which we did. This is not a place to go if you do not like goat cheese...they feel strongly about it. But the room is charming, and it is a lovely, local experience. Plus, the drive there through the vineyards is spectacular.
