It goes without saying that lunch at the H\u00f4tel des Bergues bar is a party before its time, a birthday before its date, a New Year’s Eve before Christmas. All shaken up in a shaker! In short, it’s a day for celebration! It’s imperative to arrive slightly before lunchtime; this allows you to tame the place, to take a little control, to feel perfectly at ease… a little as if the establishment belonged to you for a short while. <\/p>\n
The terrace is out… and so are the jackhammers. We’re staying inside to enjoy the most elegant hotel bar in the harbor. We’ll never tire of admiring the calm, wood-dominated decor of the room, brightened by the golden chandeliers and the royal blue touches of the suede armchairs. Even the red Berkel slicer feels very much at home in this luxurious, discreet environment. A place that’s neither old-fashioned nor new, that could be compared to a London club (open to women). Here, the custom is to whisper, as if one’s close neighbor were playing the game of eavesdropping. <\/p>\n
With staples such as a hearty cheeseburger or a wiry club sandwich, the bar menu offers the ultimate in feel-good, all-purpose classics, appealing to tourists and regulars alike. All the traditional dishes are on the menu: gazpacho, carpaccio, octopus, foie gras, tomato \/ mozza, Nicoise salad and pan-fried calamari. Only vitello tonnato is missing. On this September day, it’s the bresaola that’s making hearts skip a beat. Slice after slice, this Lombardy delicatessen delivers on all its promises. After hesitating between trofies with genovese pesto and Milanese schnitzel, the chanterelle risotto, more in season than ever, is the obvious choice. With just the right amount of resistance, it’s cooked to perfection and delicately creamy. A gastronomic execution worthy of the finest Italian culinary education. <\/p>\n
There’s no need to prevaricate or seek controversy: the Bar des Bergues is a clear favorite. In fact, it stands alone in its category. Without overdoing it – your wallet couldn’t bear it – it’s so sweet to let yourself be carried away by the charm of the Four Seasons bar. <\/p>\n
