"très jolie découverte, un très bon rapport qualité prix, 2 entrées, 2 plats (poisson et viande) avec accompagnement et un dessert. Un service digne des très grands. Pas de musique et c'est très bien. Je conseille vivement les yeux fermés et je recommande fortement. Là je reviendrais et en plus on peut offrir des cartes cadeaux ? Excellent concept attrayant. A bientôt."

"We arrived with the help of GPS promptly at 12noon today, simultaneously with two or three other French couples and families. The location is unprepossessing, in the middle of a row of car dealerships, of all things! The maitre d'hotel and other staff were already stationed outside and gave us a really warm and sincere greeting. It was unbearably hot and humid, and while the outdoor seating was appealing, we opted to sit in the pleasantly air-conditioned interior. It's a lovely spacious airy room, with generous tables generously spaced, with good table linen and attractively set. There is tasteful background music which, after noticing it once, truly receded into the background, for once. We declined an aperitif and began examining the menu. We opted for the daily €25 menu, which offered some choice, though we both ended up ordering the same thing: an excellent tuna tartare piled into a shallow bed of tomato gazpacho and topped with minislices of poached peach, of all things! Sounds strange but it worked beautifully. The starter was followed by a delicious main course of fork-tender filet of veal on a bed of girolle mushrooms, cameralized carrots, and potato mousse. To top it off, one is invited to head over to an over-the-top dessert buffet, created by the chef de cuisine who is a pastry specialist, with no fewer than two dozen choices. We each had about five mini-portions which were divine. The €25 menu is served at weekday lunch, when it includes a quarter-liter of wine, a beer, or a half-bottle of mineral water. Next time -- and there WILL be a next time -- we intend to explore the more elaborate menus, all of which looked fantastic. Service was among the best we have ever experienced, and I go back to the days of La Cote Basque and Café Chauveron and Lutèce! It was friendly and smiling, without being obsequious or false, and very efficient, without any obnoxious over-hovering or pretension. The pace was perfect. Franck Séguret, the chef de cuisine, made the rounds of all the tables -- many guests in the restaurant, which began shortly to fill up, were clearly regulars -- and he proved to be a truly charming and accommodating man who surely sets just the right tone for all of his numerous staff. We are already eagerly planning our next visit to the Clos des Lys."

"The staff is very welcoming and the products offered are varied. The location is ideal on the shores of Lac de Villeneuve-De-La-Raho. Although swimming is forbidden at the time of my visit, it is always nice to drink a drink in good weather! I can only recommend this establishment!"

"a very pleasant evening with a friendly team and a first-rate atmosphere. pork cheeks were delicious and the tin was very rich. like an aperitif the little fries and knives were perfect. in plain I recommend this restaurant on the lake especially for hot summer evenings with a very good value for money"

"the frame is friendly like the staff. cocktails and empanada shrimp are very good! It is then that we were disappointed, for tacos and dishes, the quantity and taste are not at the rdv: the guacamole is fade, flavored enchiladas, roasted pork tacos and confit. Bof! Even if it's homemade, which became the flavors of mexico: the green lemon, coriander, chili pepper, onions, tortillas of corn?chef! Put your dishes that make the originality of your country's cuisine. a kitchen that smells good, that makes the taste buds sing what we ate doesn't look like that."
