Summary: Tastefully decorated, gourmet hub.
Auberge du Pont in Pont-du-Château tells a tale of resilience and culinary passion. After a devastating fire, the auberge was rebuilt, emerging as a gourmet destination that combines the rich heritage of its Breton roots with the finest local produce. The ambiance is curated with taste across various dining spaces, each offering a unique experience. The culinary artistry in the kitchen is meticulous, with dishes that pay homage to both the chef's Breton heritage and his adopted region. From the delicate preparation of dive-caught Brittany scallops to the succulent Two-Sèvres pigeon served in three ways, the menu is a testament to the chef's deftness with both sea and land fare. The journey through flavors continues with exquisite cheese selections like the naturally blue-veined Valcivières farmhouse fourme and the renowned blue d'Auvergne. Desserts are a dignified end to the gastronomic adventure, featuring unexpected delights such as chanterelles in brandy and a secret-laden apple. Christelle Regnauld and her team ensure that service extends the joy of dining, while sommelier Adrien Chezal expertly navigates guests through an impressive 900 wine references, and even offers a unique cider for the homesick Bretons and other guests. For those looking to take a piece of the experience home, the on-site boutique offers an array of products used by the chef. Auberge du Pont is a testament to the enduring spirit of its Breton heritage, a place where regional produce is celebrated through a symphony of flavors.
