Le Brabant Bar-Hôtel-Restaurant

A group of five of us stayed here for two nights whilst touring the area on motorcycle. We had a half board deal as the reviews for dining were good and the location was remote. A lovely hotel at the top of a pass, nearby ski lifts and beautiful views . The rooms were well equipped, comfortable and clean with plenty of room. Breakfast was good and typical for this type of hotel. Dinner was poor. We were given a table at the back of the restaurant so out of sight of other diners and served pretty basic fayre. Turkey and chips one night and some lamb the second night. Nothing special about the food at all and the service was pretty basic although the chap running around did his best. Pinot Noir at 42€ a bottle was served chilled as was the Côté du Rhône (28€) the second night. First time I have had these wines chilled and served in an ice bucket and I come from the Rhône region! Beers at 8€ a pint show where the profit is made at this hotel which is only 10 minutes from Brese itself. This was the start of a four week trip and we had a number of hotels which were half board. One was a four star hotel in France. None of the other hotels have a limited dinner menu (or a take it or leave it option) and even the the most expensive hotel charged less for their beers and wine. I liked the hotel, location etc. but feel that they should be offering a better dinner option offering choices from their menu rather than treating us as 2nd class. I also think that the chap serving the wine needs to realise that red wines need to be served at room temperature and ideally allowed to breathe. My two star review reflects the dinner more than the hotel.

Hotel correct sauf.menage a revoir Restaurant lamentable et cher menu réveillon st Sylvestre à 98 € ressemblait à la cuisine d une cantine Chien de la serveuse qui vomis derrière votre chaise à 2 reprises l horreur A fuir

Très bon accueil très agréable sympathique menu unique mais très copieux et très bon en entrée quiche Lorraine avec salade en plat bouchée à la reine accompagné de riz et salade et en dessert un fondant au chocolat le menu complet pour 15 euros franchement très bon rapport qualité prix
