Auberge de la Foret

I reviewed this place .. a few weeks ago. Sadly, I mistakenly put the review for another hotel in Mervent in, instead of the correct review for this place. It is a tiny rather quaint little restaurant/hotel/bar, with very pleasant hotel staff, it's clean and its welcoming. A great place to cycle to, drive to or indeed walk to, through the Mervent forest, where it sits hidden away. This is not a "smart" restaurant, but the food is really tasty and well served. The tables are spaciously placed, and the whole ambience is that of a country pub. The menu is varied and excellent value and the place on each time we have been there is well filled with mainly French people. We would recommend it if you want a wholesome meal, served with great civility, and in a place that seems authentically French. No guff, no frills and no false pretenses. Well done the proporietors fro keeping this place what it is, without loosing the genuine appeal of good food and authenticity.

The Auberge de la Forêt was a real lucky find. The location is superb, it's off the beaten track nestled in the forest between the forest of old oak & chestnut trees.The offering is typically French from the Vendee region.There are a number of formulas on offer ranging from €17.50 to 22.00 depending on what you choose.We sat outside and listened to the nostalgic playlist whilst we dined. Excellent & Efficient service, just a pity we discovered this auberge at the end of our trip, if we had more time we would definitely return.They have relaxing chairs under the trees where you can relax with a drink after a walk in the forest.

This is an amazing place. Enormous oak tables, seating up to twenty people, usually families in happy groups. The menu is quite different, with choices for each course, and it is well presented. Good quantities of well prepared and tasty offerings. Good sized portions and attentive waiting staff. It is an experience as a non French person to go to a restaurant like this which is obviously loved by the local French people. Enormous amount of parking and the meals seem to go on for ever .. often starting at 1.00 and finishing at 5.00 Fun to visit!

As the weather was being unkind we wanted a restaurant that allowed dogs inside, this does. If you need this facility and like good food from a limited menu served by very friendly staff in simple surroundings then this place is definitely worth a visit.
