"The Bon Repas is a restaurant decorated in a modern style and is adjacent to the Bon Repos hotel which, as it happens, is unconnected. Living in a small village not far away my wife and I have driven past this restaurant many, many times over the last ten years but today was the first time we have stopped! The restaurant is run by husband and wife team Delphine and Gérald Rouet, with Delphine looking after front of house.Arriving for lunch it was nice to see, as with the majority of French restaurants, a menu du jour displayed outside the front door. At only €13 euros ( including coffee but excluding wine) it was not expensive for a 3 course lunch. No choices though. Again normal in this part of France.Welcomed by Delphine we were pleasantly surprised to be informed that, if we wished, the full menu was also available consisting of 2 menus, at €18 and the other at €24 plus the à la carte. We decided to take the menu du jour. Today there was a salade des gesiers to start with (duck gizzards are very popular hereabouts) and a filet mignon de pork for the main course. Desert was very simple, a carpaccio of oranges, but an ideal finish a well cooked and enjoyable meal.We had a bottle of Cabernet d'Anjou which, whilst not cheap at €17 was not overly expensive given its quality and the prices that a lot of restaurnts charge for their wine.A good bench mark for the restaurant was the fact that we were the only English clients to day out of about 30 diners (still plenty of room). The French like it!All in all an excellent experience, good food and wine and a very friendly welcome. We will be returning in the near future to see if the dinner experience is as pleasant lunch today - I can see no reason why it will not be."

"One of the best pizzerias in Charente! Quality of the extra paste, local ingredients with the origin of each on the map. Few choices what is a sign of undeniable quality, and indeed no need for more choice because classic pizzas are there and they are the best. A special note to pizza of the month that is a brilliant idea, often very innovative thanks to seasonal products. Go there the eyes closed, Italian word more a very nice welcome awaits you there!"
