A lovely restaurant to have lunch with a view of the Beaujolais Region in the city of Oingt. Just…read moremake sure to book ahead for a table. The food was delicious and they have a nice list of the wines of the region (make sure to have a designated driver ). The only thing is that it would have been nice if they offered a few specialities of the region for food. But maybe the day we went, their menu was limited because of the current situation with the restaurants only allowed to open outdoors with a limited number of guests.

Annie et Gérard Umhauer, qui proposent une cuisine traditionnelle aux accents régionaux, y ont installé leur restaurant en respectant l'identité du lieu : il semble que moulin et tilleul existent toujours pour eux mêmes.

You have to walk in but it is well worth getting out of the car. We passed several restaurants looking for the Creperie because we just wanted a snack. Well what we got was a huge crepe the biggest I have ever eaten and it was soo good. I struggled with French as we asked for a table in this small cavernous room, only to hear everyone in the back room speaking English. The owners are English it seems and yes they can cook. :) I highly recommend this one if you are visiting the area (closest large town is Lyon) I will definitely be going back. Oh the house wine was wonderful also.

The village of Oingt, with its yellow stone buildings and high tower set at the top of a hill, is…read morepicturesque to the extreme. But walking around taking photos, shopping in little boutiques, and admiring the views can work up an appetite. If you're looking for good, comforting food at a moderate price, this place is a good choice. Next door to the more expensive Donjon restaurant, the crêperie offers various salads, some Lyonnaise dishes like andouillette, and a selection of savory and sweet crêpes. A table on the patio/terrace/terasse was extremely pleasant on a sunny afternoon. The Donjon view might be less obstructed by bushes, but this view was lovely too. The savory crêpes are served galette-style, laid flat, spread with filling, then folded into an open square to make a kind of tart and crisped lightly under a broiler. The crêpe batter is some kind of whole wheat, dark brown, with a lovely tenderness in the middle and lacy, delicate edges. The Suprême (leeks, smoked chicken, and cream) is flavorful and savory, though the chicken is only small bits rather than big slices. The champignons de Paris crêpe came stuffed with tiny mushrooms. Each crêpe is very filling, perfect for lunch or even a snack if split between two people. The charcuterie plate with onion jam was fine; the chèvre chaud salad was refreshing, the goat cheese so soft and melty it was almost liquid. The house rosé was great, I thought, but I'm not well-versed in wine. Nevertheless, you can't go wrong in this part of rural France where a square kilometer holds untold numbers of wineries. The service was neither fast nor slow. I wouldn't recommend stopping by for a hurried bite, but the French frown on fast food, and why not linger in such a pretty place? The restaurant was mostly empty, and the hip young server did not neglect our party even while he periodically chatted with some dreadlocked, tattooed, and pierced friends at a nearby table. One member of my party found a long hair in part of a dish, which the waiter removed without comment and replaced promptly. Between the atmosphere and the food, we had a wonderful lunch. Stop by if you're in Oingt but don't need or want a pricey three-course meal.
