"a passage completely by chance in this small village for a little meal break. don't trust the restaurant's a little austere, the interior is very pleasant, a very smiling and warm welcome. very fast service even during high frequency, irreproachable hygiene. by reading the map at very advantageous prices one thinks that the kitchen should not be of an exceptional level... mistake! The meals are delicious we recommend Go without hesitation!"

"Nous avions dégusté le menu INSPIRATION au début de Juillet, nous l’avons choisi de nouveau il y a quelques jours et nous ne l’avons pas regretté , il était encore meilleur . Les ingrédients et les cuissons nous ont impressionnés , en particulier , le foie gras de Nontron fondant le pigeonneau un régal et la combinaison betterave/Manslois/ caviar . Le vin blanc du Minervois aux amis de ma soeur est assez souple pour s’adapter aux différents plats , mais il a un peu de mal à exister face à des plats très riches en saveurs variées . Il m’a semblé que le plateau de fromages était un peu plus diversifié , même s’il reste assez sage . Les desserts sont très fins mais pas bluffants . Comme d’habitude le service était diligent et attentif. On va peut-être attendre le changement de la carte , avant d’y retourner! Merci pour cette belle soirée!"

"Not the easiest place to find if you don't know the area, our satnav had never heard of the address so it's a good job I looked at the website map in detail before we left. It's outside the town in a lovely setting by...the Tardoire with a large terrace overlooking thr garden and the river. The menu is restricted, just options for each course on two fixed price meals. When it is so limited you would hope that everything was available but no, okne of our starters wasn't, a real disappointment since the langoustines were a primary reason for going there. Having said that, the meal was good, the service a bit slow, but we're on holiday so not too bothered. The staff are very friendly and some do speak English but did let us try out our rusty French at length before letting on! There is a small car park but most people seemed to park on the roadside. Booking is definitely a must, we went on a Thursday and saw several people turned away as it was full. Probably not for vegetarians unless you ask before you book, no sign of a veggie option on the menu (unless you eat fish) and veggies generally absent."

"We were invited to a "Thai Curry night" which was fully attended, the starter arrived, low and behold it was carrot soup, remembering that the temperature had been, during the day 30 degrees and at 7.30pm it was still 28 degrees, carrot soup (hot) was not really required and it certainly was not Thai, (if it had coriander in it that would have possibly been acceptable). The main course arrived, Green Thai chicken curry with rice, unfortunately there was not much Thai taste to the curry and the rice was not "Fragrant Rice" just plain boiled, I heard one lady say to the owner that it was not hot (spicy) to which she replied, "Thai is aromatic not hot" certainly would agree with 50% of that statement, but it was not aromatic and Thai curry is hot, (of course one cannot dish out hot curry to all of the patrons, but it can have a little bite to it, if someone has a problem with it being too hot just add a spoonful of yogurt to it. The desert arrived, not Thai, ice-cream, a small cake, along with a few strawberries in syrup.I am very sorry but, it was not a Thai curry night. Just one point regarding the Green Thai Chicken Curry, it is essential that the Green Thai paste is as good as possible, you can make it yourself but is is not easy to find all the ingredients, just try the following as a possible:50g Green Curry Paste, should have shrimp paste in it, (25g if you wish it milder)Fry with a little oil, add 240ml of coconut milk, bring to simmer, add 250g of meat, continue cooking, add another 120ml of coconut milk plus 100/120ml of water, heat to boiling, add 100g of veg' & cook until softened, add a flat teaspoon of sugar, taste, adjust if necessary."

"Our family had dinner in this restaurant the evening we arrived at the (lovely campsite Gorges du Chambon . The dishes are quite good and tasty. Unfortunately there is NO menu (except what the call menu enfant , which is not really a French menu since there is neither entrée nor a real dessert , you only get a steak haché or steak saumon or nuggets as main dish, and a sirop (soda water and a small ice cream (packaged, industrial for 9€ . Still the menu enfant is ok (our son took it . Otherwise you can choose between different entrées , main dishes (incl. pizzas and desserts. Among the entrées are salads which one can also order as main dish (larger size . Wines as pichet (carafe (11€ for 500 ml which is not very cheap or in bottles. We tasted the Rosé pichet and is was quite tasty. The service is friendly. The room is very nice and cozy. All in all we can recommend it but not if you are looking for either (1 excellent French regional cuisine or (2 a real low-budget place. (If you build your own menu from entrée, main dish (plat principal and dessert then you easily end up with a price around 25 to 30€. ."
