The story
Au Vieux Pressoir, the restaurant at Auberge du Lac in Mesnil-Saint-Père, is a destination rooted in the landscape of the Orient Forest. Originally a small country bar, the property has been transformed into a comfortable boutique hotel, and its restaurant has earned a reputation as one of the finest in the Aube region. The dining room, open for lunch and dinner daily, offers a setting of quiet elegance, surrounded by half-timbered buildings and tranquil gardens.
The kitchen here is described as vibrant and flavorful, a style that has earned the restaurant the title of "First Distinguished Table" in the Aube. This recognition is reinforced by a Michelin Recommended award, placing Au Vieux Pressoir among the noteworthy tables in the region. The cuisine draws on the quality of carefully sourced ingredients, presented with a modern sensibility that delights discerning palates.
The restaurant is part of a larger estate that includes a spa and wellness center, a bar, and a buffet breakfast. Its location, a five-minute walk from the Lac d'Orient, makes it a natural stop for those exploring the Champagne vineyards or the area's many seasonal activities—sailing, paddleboarding, hiking, and birdwatching. The team, with 40 years of experience, emphasizes both the quality of the food and the quality of the service, creating a haven of peace and well-being for guests.
