Restaurant Grenouilles et Delices

About

Restaurant Grenouilles et Délices is a charming family‑friendly eatery tucked away in the picturesque village of Illiat, nestled between the green hills of the Ain, Dombes, Bresse, and Beaujolais. Since its opening a decade ago, the restaurant has earned a reputation for serving generous portions of fresh frog legs, a local specialty that delights visitors with its unbeatable flavor and generous portions. The dish is accompanied by other regional delicacies such as the prized Bresse chicken, a creamy mushroom sauce, and a tender carp fillet from Dombes. Guests can also indulge in homemade ice cream made from natural flavors that have won the “Table remarquable Saveurs de l’Ain” gastronomic label. During weekdays, diners can enjoy a set lunch menu that includes a main course, cheese, dessert, coffee, and a drink for just €19.00 — a great value for those looking to sample a taste of the region without breaking the bank. The restaurant also offers extensive services including a small shop selling local produce, fishing maps, and various recreational equipment such as petanque balls and ping‑pong paddles, which add a playful touch to the dining experience. With two intimate indoor dining rooms that can accommodate up to 40 guests each and an outdoor terrace open from May on, Grenouilles et Délices provides a relaxed atmosphere that caters to families, couples, and groups alike. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends when the venue offers evening hours from 19:15 to 20:30.
