Georges Blanc

★★ Michelin€€€€Classic Cuisine

In his Vonnas stronghold, Georges Blanc has embodied a certain idea of tradition for several decades. From a 100m² building, he has built an estate that spans several hectares composed of an entire village, whose houses and streets are prettily lit come nightfall. At the head of a small empire, Monsieur Blanc enjoys taking the time to meet guests and dedicates his menus with obvious pleasure. In the plate, you’ll find his emblematic Bresse chicken and famous crêpes Vonnassiennes, together with more contemporary recipes... to be paired with one of the wonderful vintages that grace the particula

L'Ancienne Auberge

€€€Traditional Cuisine

The vintage decor of this former lemonade factory pays tribute to the inn opened by the Blanc family in the late 19C, hence the old photos and posters. This nostalgic vibe provides the perfect foil to the regional lineup of Bresse delicacies crafted by the chef, illustrated by a poultry liver terrine à la Elisa Blanc or their iconic cabbage, stuffed with morels and vin jaune. Lovely terrace for alfresco dining in summertime.
