Logis Hotel-Restaurant Les Airelles, Нёшатель-ан-Бре, Франция

We are doing a one night stopover here on our way back to Calais. This is an unprepossessing 2 star hotel - but with the most amazing restaurant! It is part of the owner run Logis de France group of hotels. There are 3 set menus with choices of gourmet courses on each one, and, impressively several "market dish of the day" type dishes which means they are fresh off the boat/from the butcher/from the fisherman. Both of us had fabulous meals, with a couple of cheeky amuse bouche thrown in. The cheeseboard had about 8 or 9 choices and was served from a device like the 70s globe drinks cabinet. The wine list was also impressive but not at a silly price. The restaurant was full so booking is recommended. The service from the team was excellent. A fantastic experience all round. Will we stay again? - you bet we will!

The food was excellent. At breakfast time the tables were fully set possibly in a slightly old fashioned way but one that demonstrated that the highest standard were being delivered.
