We had an amazing diner here. The food was delicious, obviously. The staff is really friendly and… fun, who would have think? A few downsides: menu is a bit short and very classic. It is perfectly cooked, but slightly boring in my humble opinion. The place looks a bit dated in certain area. There is nothing magical about the place in itself which is really a pity. Last thing: they give menus with prices to women. I still don’t get how this sexism still exists. Especially when my wife booked the place. This was the last of my three challenge. Sorry for the delay in writing and posting the review. Follow me for all the reviews and updates on every Michelin 3 in France, every in Paris and much much more. What’s extraordinary here? A three must be. And this was one is. But it took me some time to put it all together. Then a sentence came up. A is like a beacon in the night. Yes because this place makes me think about friendship. Not the that Kundera would describe, more the ex best from an American writer, or even from Celine, accessible, yet deep, opening a window on another world. Going to l auberge du vieux puits, is like going to see this very dear friends that now lives far away from you. After a long journey you finally see his place. Your entrance will always shine a bit stronger in your eyes because you know what’s behind. Well, it will be the same here. It’s lost in the middle of nowhere (no offense, it’s part of the charm) but once you’ve been there, you’ll never see it the same way. You’ll know that this quite unassuming entrance, in this even more unassuming street, is the gate to great times. Once at your friend’s place, very quickly it feels like you’ve seen each other yesterday. Actually it even feels like you’ve always known him for years, regardless of the actual truth. At the Auberge, not only the gives you this feeling, but also the cuisine. The is one of a warm 3 stars. It’s technically an Auberge (inn) with the wife presence, still I forgot about that with the warmth of the staff (ok, may be the sommelier helped us there). There’s actually a slight contrast with the interior design that I would find a bit cold without them. The chef’s cuisine is at the image. The first impression will be very accessible, then you’ll feel that you’ve known him for years, because of the friendliness, warmth and « apparent » simplicity. And suddenly, at the end of your fork, behind the simplest vegetable, a ray of light shines in the night, and uncovers the deepest thoughts. Like a great provides a profound view in the middle of a seemingly simple discussion. We’re all well aware (we as « the world ») that the is known for a superb dish with truffles, but it is in some more humble ones that you can truly meet him. Who’s the chef? The is a MOF 1996 (best skilled worker in France, arguably the most prestigious distinction a can have, after the 3rd stars). MOFs have a very recognizable trait: perfection. But some can be lost in the quest for perfection. He is arrived. In a culinary world where the image can be more important than the essence. He’s reminding us that humble can be noble and that the noble is sublimed by the humble. An onion with peas can be out of this world, and the truffles wouldn’t express themselves the same way without the support of an egg. An humble Auberge can be noble. The is a beacon in the French cuisine, a beacon in the night, like a that reminds us simple truths, while not denying earthly pleasures. The crowd was international, seems to enjoy themselves. It’s a 3 but the atmosphere is more relaxed than in a palace or a high gastronomy grand restaurant, still I’ll dress up a bit. By the way did I mention the wine list and the cheese chariot ? No, I intentionally forgot because my doctor might read this. Let’s just say that the price are very decent for the wine, and the chariot the second best amongst the 3 Stars. Definitely a top tiers 3 stars. This restaurant is excellent ! It was the third time we came there and we've never been disappointed. Every dish is delicious, especially their "signature dish" : a truffle egg, which is wonderful. The is excellent and the restaurant room very cosy. And they got an impressive choice of wines, from the whole France and World. We passed a lovely evening here with a largely friendly and professional staff beginning in the salon with a cocktail and amuse-bouche. I appreciated that despite being a 3-star we had the flexibility to take a cigarette between a couple services. The cuisine demonstrates technical expertise and studied attention though the style feels a bit dated (think a 3-star in the 1990s). The cheese is impressive with a gamut of cheeses presented on a large wooden table that is rolled over. Very much enjoyed the effort in finding a balance between rustic tastes and fine dining. I did find it distracting from the overall that my husband received a menu with prices and my menu did not list prices. The graced each table with his presence thrice during which is exceptional and it was a pleasant opportunity to provide feedback and get some face time. Glad to have checked the box. Overall however, if you are seeking a contemporary 3-star you may find yourself underwhelmed. We had an exquisite dining at Auberge du Vieux Puits in Fontjoncousse with friends. Special mention to the chef's creations featuring langoustines, courgette flowers, and truffle-infused egg. Meeting Gilles Goujon was an honor. The culinary journey was remarkable, leaving us with unforgettable flavors and cherished memories. An incredible restaurant experience. We’ve been 3 times and will go again. Impeccable service, stunning wine list, and food that makes you wonder why bother cooking yourself. An exquisite experience. Is it expensive -of course, but there’s nothing like it. Excellent food served with amazing style. Everyone very helpful and well informed. Each course an and delight. Wine list on a computerised tablet, but needs to be a larger screen and one that doesn't keep turning off to save battery power! All you expect from a 3 Michelin Star French Restaurant: - amazing french food with classical tastes - surprising dishes - great service - huge wine menu Thank you very much for this great lunch experience!
