La Fontaine

In a rather dreary suburb of Vichy we were greeted by a masked waitress (an unpleasant reminder of the recent dark days of global dictatorship). you have to have a menu or the a la carte prices are huge. The a la carte menu was not offered. 3 courses €34 or €47. We chose the 47 one. The Fork's 20% off promo is therefore useless. Starters were good of small and had to remove a piece of cling film from the pate de fois. Having specifically asked if the chicken main course contained mushrooms and was told it did not, it arrived covered in mushrooms and was immediately sent back meaning the other diner had to eat her main course on her own. The chicken returned sometime later with a chewy shrimp sauce and pretty much a shrug. Deserts were fine. No reduction on the 130€ bill. Plastic table top and paper napkins. A long way from high end Michelin level.

The staff is very friendly and welcome.

The hotel was very comfortable and the hotel was very comfortable.

The hotel is very good and it is very easy to get and travel inside, a good kitchen with fresh and seasonal products.

For several years I have come to the restaurant always at the height fresh product always a gift the patron and very pleasant and sympathetic I recommend to 💯
