Au Petit Relais in Coligny: Michelin Bib Gourmand for Traditional Gastronomic Cuisine

A Traditional and Gastronomic Table

Between the plains of Bresse and the slopes of the Revermont, Au Petit Relais has been welcoming guests since January 1997. The kitchen here walks a confident line between tradition and gastronomy, with a menu that changes to reflect the seasons and the best of the region. The dining room is air-conditioned in summer, a welcome detail on warm days, and the atmosphere is one of understated comfort.

Recognition That Speaks for Itself

The restaurant’s reputation has earned it a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a distinction that recognises good-quality, good-value cooking. It is also recommended by Gault & Millau, the Guide du Routard, and TripAdvisor – a clear sign that the kitchen delivers consistently. The wine list is notably extensive, with pages dedicated to Champagne, Burgundy, Jura, and beyond, making it a destination for those who appreciate a thoughtful selection.

What’s on the Plate

The menu ranges from 31€ to 142€, offering dishes that draw on classic French techniques and ingredients. Look for foie gras maison from French duck, blue lobster with a coral vinaigrette and pistachio oil, Bresse chicken from the Miéral selection, wild Burgundy snails, octopus, and Arctic char. These are dishes rooted in tradition, prepared with care and a respect for the product.

Au Petit Relais is open for lunch and dinner, with closures on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, as well as Sunday evenings – except during summer when the schedule adjusts slightly. The restaurant is located on the Grande Rue in Coligny, a short drive from Bourg-en-Bresse.
