Au Vieux Pressoir - Mesnil-Saint-Père

The restaurant is rated by the Logis chain as “table distingée” so that they can expect something special. that was true. there is no menu, but an ipad that we both had to look at, which is neither beautiful nor high-stardard. the hostess said. it was the becauce of covid, which is totally nonsense, like all other restaurants working with menu cards again. while still the young and arrogant waiter tried to sell champagne than aperetif, no other recommendations. after that the hors d’heuvres came before the drinks. immediately after that the Amuse-Bouche had but we had not ordered yet. I ordered a menu, told the oldest hostess who took the order my escape, said, then I liked the st. pierre fish and dessert. I saw that I had to pay the price à la carte, but not the price for less menus. I asked why I didn’t have to pay the menu price, said the old host with the menu, the fish “lotte” not the “St. Pierre”. I was speechless as I expected the hostess would have told me what fish came with the menu. but it seems she just wanted to make more money. a pure tear! the parts themselves were tiny. I cannot recommend this restaurant because of the service and it overestimates status. this restaurant clearly does not deserve the status “Table dustinguée”. you do not go there

We were looking for a restaurant near troyes on michelin guide. this came as highly recommended. good reception when we arrived, then downhill. plates were prepared in advance (we were in the gastronomy side, not the brasserie.) we went without having our complete menu. a true catastrophe, especially at the price, they did not even offer a discount when we left early and explained why.

A good stop option on the running gear. the hotel is located in the center of a charming village at the rande of a large lake with water sports/sailing. comes from a series recommended by locals, good eating.

Special arrangement 31.12.2019./1.1.2020 was excellent, 6 courses especially with champagne acmompagned and superb lunch on 1.1 again incl. drinks. superior room very comfortable. spa included. dogs are allowed. beautiful quiet village, no artificial fyers.

We stayed overnight en route to Italy and so did not have time to use the spa etc. While the hotel was nice and in a good location it was not special for the price we paid. The restaurant also seemed a bit pricey so...we ate at a local restaurant and had an excellent meal for about 2/3 what the hotel were charging.
