Le Bistrot des Moines

After a lukewarm welcome and after having to carry our luggage up two flights of stairs, my wife and I settled into our room in this amazing hotel. My wife and I are from New York and spend six months a year traveling around the world. We usually stay in upscale resorts and hotels, but Abbey de la Bussiere is perhaps the most beautiful place in which we have ever stayed. This is a renovated abbey that has been done with love and expertise. The hotel itself is awe-inspiring and beautiful with amazing care to detail. Our room was clean, large, beautifully furnished and attractive. Our bed was super comfortable and the linens and towels were first-rate. The room was very comfortable. Drinks in the bar or parlor type rooms was a very nice touch. We, unfortunately, spent our one night when the gourmet restaurant was not open, but the food in the casual place was good. Breakfast was nice but it was not special. The real reason to stay at Abbey de la Bussiere is the extraordinary setting. My only real regret was that we spent only one night, as we were driving from Lyon to Luxembourg. We did manage to walk around the property quickly and it is stunning. This is a great find and one that is very special.

Always a treat to eat in the Bistro. The food is exceptional and very reasonably priced given the setting. The service is always outstanding.

Reservation made on Saturday noon at the bistro of the monks of the Abbey of the buisher to enjoy the terrace and the beautiful park. the frame is sumptuous with this 12th century building. the card is varied and the dessert flat inlet formula at a reasonable price. Meat and fish are of great quality and seasonal accompaniments. Everything's good in the plate. only small flat the service sometimes one can outdated (forgot part of the aperitif. the entries served so quickly that we didn't have time to take the aperitives...)But in the end a very good time spent in this place that is worth the trip.

We stayed 2 nights in this splendid place renovate with taste! beautiful buildings, a small stream and a beautiful forest. The place is just maginifque.By contrast to the evening meal was not at all high, we took the menu tasting and frankly we were not far from catastrophic. The tomato entrance was by far the best dish. the silding and its ungood accompaniment, and the beef piece was tiny and hard as a sole. the sauce accompanying the net was tasteless and insipid. Cheese tray arrive and 15 goat cheeses and 2 cows!!! from never seen in a restaurant! My colleague and I don't like goat cheese! the meal was so disappointing that we decided to cancel our reservation for the next night and go somewhere else to eat. We also think that the chef was absent or on holiday because it was not good. Too bad 'cause it's a bit of our pleasure but fortunately the place is bucolic.

We visited the Chateau today and enjoyed a very good lunch in the Bistrot sitting outside in the gardenThe food was first rate and for 3 courses pretty cheap by comparison toothed high quality Burgundian restaurants Euro 32The wine list is very limited (e.g. 4/5 Whites only) and that is why I have rated a 4 not a 5Our wine was corked but the restaurant handled that very wellThe garden is large and old and beautifulOverall a great experienceps unlike a recent review our service was friendly and very good
