Auberge des Templiers - Boismorand

My family have been a customer of this hotel since 1954 when it was one of the eight founding members of the Relais

As we were also staying at the Auberge, visiting the restaurant was an obvious step. We're glad we did. We had a most memorable meal, a roller coaster of tastes and culinary experiences, topped by impeccable service and a lovely view to the garden.

We heard about this restaurant from friends and decided to try it. Auberge des Templiers is a lovely Hôtel steeped in history.The restaurant must be short of staff or they were distracted that night. We booked a table for 9pm. The waiter who guided us to the table disappeared suddenly leaving us stranded in the dining room. When we got someone else to assist us, we were finally seated.The sommelier who took the order came back half and hour later looking very puzzled and asked us what wine we ordered? Our first choice of the red wine was not available.The food was delicious and the chef is definitely talented but the waiting staff really spoils it for him. We ordered our lamb medium but was well done when it was served to us. The jus on the plate had all dried up from the plate kept under the heat in the kitchen.I must add that there was one particular waiting staff that was very helpful and was trying to cover his colleagues' inefficiency.Service is very slow and we left the restaurant past midnight !

We had a great time for our first meal at "l'auberge des templiers".Food was really good and tasty, it's a pleasure to eat but also to look at the food!We also had a great waitress named Lourdes who is really nice and always smilling, the meal is even better with happiness !Thanks to everyone

We have eaten at the restaurant at the Auberge during two previous stays. Our recent experience across two separate dinners was not very good. One night we had to wait 20 minutes to receive menus and a full hour before being served our first course. The foie pate served was as unremarkable as the tinned bloc of foie we bought at a supermarket. The spider crab appetizer was so cold (previously frozen) when it was served it had no flavor. One night there was a large party for dinner (set in a separate room), but the dining room was not particularly busy on either night of our stay so both the kitchen and service should have been able to keep up. Having experienced the restaurant numerous times in the past, we were particularly disappointed with our two nights dinners in Oct.
