"Situated in a quaint red stone village in the valley of the Ady at the heart of the Marcillac wine region this restaurant is part of an old Auberge but has been renovated to provide a contemporary space with a cool pleasing ambience. We were...nicely greeted and shown to our table with our dog. Aperitifs were speedily offered together with menus. The menu of the day at 19 euros sounded good and we didn't want anything too heavy so gave it a whirl. The result was amazing a veal tartare with Asparagus Gaspachio and preserved celery was stunning. The follow up of Lieu with two sauces of light mushroom and pesto was excellent as were the accompanying crispy crepes containing a mushroom and shallot mix. To top it all the desert of a chocolate biscuit served with chocolate mousse, apple, coconut, crumble and topped off by rocket and radish sounds bizarre but was inspirational. A great wine selection of around 200 wines and some good ones by the glass as we were on the road. We chose the Dom Cauhape Jurancon 2016 for 7 euros a glass and it was , as all things are from that vigneron, top class. If you like ratafia then there are 5 or 6 varieties to choose from as well as an extensive range of other standard aperitifs and regional specialities. I can't believe we haven't been here before but this is now on the highly approved list although at 50 minutes away from us it is a little far for comfort unless one is tasting or buying Marcillac wine. Do visit the Cave de Valady when you are there it's only 300 yards away and has an excellent selection of wine. Next time we will try the next menu up which is 30 euros."

"Nous nous étions arrêtés lors de notre trajet aller sur la route de nos vacances. Le patron nous avait fait des éloges de son établissement. Au retour nous avons voulu vérifier. Nous avons été très déçus. La spécialité locale saucisse aligot pas vraiment bonne. Le sauté de canard était très sec et les frites pas cuites. Le service est un peu long. Ce resto est fréquenté par des travailleurs de passage. Nos voisins de table en bleu de travail n'ont guère apprécié la cuisine car ils ont laissé les assiettes à moitié pleines. Seule la glace sauvait un peu la situation. Attention WC à la turc.Non vraiment déçus on ne reviendra pas."
