Cafe - Bar - Hotel - Restaurant Auberge is a humble looking place. It's also the only place to stay in Montesquiou unless you want to stay on a goose farm where they brag about showing you how they make fois gras. Montesquiou is where I stayed last night, without wifi.
The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. But the food was ridiculously good. It was one of those places that you eat whatever they put in front of you. First a huge pot of pumpkin soup that I had two bowls of. Then a plate of perfectly ripe canteloupe slices, prosciutto style ham, delicious home-made quiche and a green salad with balsamic vinegar & oil. The main course was a pan fried flaky white fish that I think was fluke or flounder, with potatoes sauteed in red wine & oil (I think). A nice sized pitcher of red wine was already on the table. Desert was rum raisin ice cream served in a glass coated with Armanac (I think). The family that run the place are all super friendly and welcoming. Breakfast the next morning was the usual. The bill for the whole shabang (room, dinner, breakfast)? €39.
