Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Repas excellent !! Très bonne cuisine très belle décoration de salle. Un peu d'attente pour le service ce qui n'est pas du tout gênant quand on a le temps. Pas de carte individuelle pour choisir son menu, tout est noté sur un tableau noir au mur ; idée originale qui apporte de l'ambiance entre clients. Parking voiture/moto en face du restaurant et parking vélo sur le côté du restaurant. Point d'amélioration : Bien connaître le détail des plats servis. Préciser l'accompagnement du dessert (il n'était pas indiqué la boule de glace cassis avec le moelleux au chocolat, heureusement j'aime bien ce parfum )"
"We didn't know that on Sundays the restaurant only serves salades. They made an exception for us and we ate some good entrecotes! Thanks for the good service and food!"
"Adresse à recommander dans la région, le service et les serveurs sans souriant. La nourriture est très bonne. Bonne soirée"
"Accueil chaleureux, la cuisine est généreuse et excellente. Les plats sont très bien présentés dans une très belle vaisselle. On se régale de l'entrée au dessert . Les prix très raisonnables , ainsi que pour les vins . On chouchoute le client . Accès facile pour personnes à mobilité réduite. Parking juste devant . Une terrasse pour l'été. Préférable de réserver, les bonnes adresses ont leur succès...."
"Good food and convivial. Deserves to be better known."
"Ah, what a nice surprise this place was. Like any completely unadapted tourist, we didn't take into account the meal times in the region we were in, and of course arrived hungry, at 2pm, desperately looking for a restaurant. We couldn't find one, but the people at the relais gave us a nice surprise and made us a sandwich. Even if we are talking about a sandwich, we found common sense and human respect in this simple gesture. For this I will always remember this place fondly and will return again and again! Of course I went in and had a beer :)"
"It was the cuisses de grenouilles night. Lots to eat. Did not have the wine I had chosen from the wine list but the alternative was very good."
"Lovely little place, very nice good, friendly staff. Worth a stop if you are in the area."
