Food and drink

Cooking and tasting delicious meals has been our passion for years. In the year preceding our move to France, Tarcies did an internship one day a week in the kitchen of René Tichelaar (Restaurant De Gieser Wilderman in Noordeloos), a famous chef and proud owner of a Michelin star for many years.

We live in the Bresse Bourguignonne, close to Burgundy and Beaujolais. We enjoy preparing appetizers and main courses from local products. For the main course we like slow‑cooked dishes such as beef tenderloin and veal fillet. And we have an excellent supplier of fresh fish, and shellfish. Our extensive platter of regional cheeses has been highly appreciated by our guests for years!

We buy wine in the surrounding area (Burgundy, Beaujolais, Jura, Bugey), and at wine fairs. We prefer to buy directly from the vintner, also in areas we visit during quieter periods. Furthermore, we have a wide selection of aperitifs and digestifs, such as pastis, various whiskeys, chartreuse, cognac, armagnac, calvados, verveine, and local drinks.

Breakfast

With us, the day starts with the charm of the French countryside. We serve a full breakfast including baguette and viennoiseries, a refined selection of regional cheeses and cold cuts, our homemade preserves, local honey. An egg from our own chickens is prepared upon request in the way you wish. 

Snack board

Between 12 and 17 o’clock you can enjoy a snack board, with regional cold cuts, regional cheeses, olives, pickles, bread and butter, and a glass of regional wine. €30 (2 people). Preferably order it with breakfast.

Table d’hôtes\n

In the evening you can enjoy a four‑course dinner with seasonal products and a touch of Burgundian refinement. We start with a house aperitif (a kir) and serve outdoors on the spacious terrace when the weather is nice. A atmospheric conclusion to a wonderful day in the Bresse. €37.50 per person.

Honesty-bar

In the summer, under the outdoor staircase there is a fridge with soft drinks, wines and beer. Take what you want, note it, and you can settle the bill upon departure.
