Auberge du Vieux Bois

Auberge du Vieux Bois is nestled in the forest in Divonne les Bains, France. We invited family members to celebrate my husband 's and my sister in law 's birthdays. Everyone chose from the à la carte menu, although the daily special was Reblochon cheese fondue. The restaurant was very busy...on this Sunday reservations are required on weekends, suggested otherwise. Perfectly prepared sole meunière, fine steaks, attractive and fairly priced fixed menus, (almost too bountiful salads for appetizers ... we ate like God in France .

while we visited a friend in genf, we spent an extra night and returned to the forest for another dinner at the auberge du vieux vieux bois in divonnes les bains. her idea of the planche de montagnarde as an appetizer overwhelmed my man by his great! actually it was a meal in itself. the hunch that followed in the menu was a bit overlaid, therefore disappointing. my appetizer of crispy reblochon was simply amazing. the fine main course of the fish was delicious. I was lucky that my man was a crème brulée du jour. a perfect finish! not to forget: the wine selection is excellent, with 0.375 dl bottles, perfect for two.

eating is in order as the French food goes, but the service is painfully slow. we were the first in the veranda, but after 10 tables filled with customers who had their appetizers and main courses, we had to remember them, we had nothing yet. then they explained that our well-made steak needed to cook for a long time! almost my chair fell in unbelief. the payment was another time freeze. I haven't been here for two years because the last time was disappointed. to think that former owners once made this one of the most outstanding restaurants in divonne. time for new owners again!
