Thoroughly enjoyable evening. We eat outside and the welcome was so friendly. They have clearly worked very hard at creating a great ambiance and the food was very, very good. We had walked from Brantome but we're staying a few miles away so the owner took over our phone call and made sure the taxi arrived after we had finished another drink in the delightful garden. So glad we booked.

The food was delicious, not fussy and wholesome. Everything seemed authentically welcomingly french. The star of the evening though was definitely the waitress Ciara, whoâs delightful way made our evening and was one of the best waitresses I have sincerely had the joy to experience. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

This is very much a Brits abroad type of place. We ate here on our first night in Abjat as everything else was shut. 3 courses for 12 euro is an absolute bargain...but to be honest....we would have been pretty annoyed if we'd paid anymore than that for what we ate. The gazpacho was okay...the paella was very dry and tasteless...and the dessert...well...if soggy sponge covered in tinned fruit and a scoop of lime sorbet floats your boat then this is the place for you! The owners are friendly, as is the atmosphere so by all means go and visit for a large glass of wine at only 2.50. For anyone who knows anything about good quality food...give it a miss.

A good choice in this Michelin one star restaurant, very friendly service, and very helpful head waiter.The location on the banks of the Dronne would be hard to beat, tables are small but the views are beguiling.Food is very well presented and a good selection, especially useful if you intend to stay for a few days. Many people return year after year, which is a recommendation in itself.Parking is limited

We had not been here since last year. The owner, Michel, has done some updating and the decor is bright and cheerie. There are two menus to choose from. We were served an amuse bouche with our aperitifs, which featured a selection of delicacies on small pieces of toast, all delightful. There followed our three course meals, beautifully cooked and presented. The individual apple crumble desserts were particularly magnificent. A thoroughly excellent meal. We will return soon. Thank you very much for this lovely review.I am very happy you enjoyed your meals and you appreciate my work. It is always a great pleasur to have you at my table.you are a lovely couple and two great guess. Wé hope to see you again.

The picture on the hotel's website are all pretty fair examples of what we were presented with, in a room that was decorated in a style that resembled a cross between a tart's boudoir, a 1970's disco and an explosion in the Dulux shop's reject paint department. We half expected someone from the Monty Python or The Two Ronnies production team to burst in... After the initial visual shocks of entering the room through the secondary restaurant area (itself decorated in horribly clashing colours of leatherette and felt velour with pictures of cows in fields on the walls), we chose the mid range 'prix fixe' (â¬41 per head) menu, we were presented with a kir with a pink flower floating in it (of course daaaahhhhling), which apparently 'benefitted' from the addition of some sort of home made walnut syrup to white wine...mmmmThe 'amuse bouchée' followed which included 4 little 'delights' that were created by Hyacinth Bouquet for an evening soirée she had hosted for the local ladies tennis and bridge clubs. Interesting mixtures of cheese, lemon, nut purée, macaroon and a few other unidentifiable ingredients. Not satisfied with these, there then followed with a small bowl of 'puréed artichoke with 'reduced anchovy jus' (err?), and a small glass pot (think empty Danone creme caramel pot', half filled with a purée of cauliflower 'infused' with some kind of white fish stew with a blob of creamy something on top. Maxine's summary was 'a bit wallpaper pastery' for me...Taking the starters, mains and desserts together rather than individually, there were some common themes throughout. A vivid green, mint gel was dribbled around several of the serving plates (think something suitable for Dame Edna Everage's evening get together for Elton John, Danny La Rue, Liberace and Gianni Versace), along with a car crash of so many non-complementary elements, you had to question whether the chefs were cooking and playing up in the dark wearing blindfolds with one hand tied behind their backs....One dish numbered 17 separate elements constituting an interesting 'Masterchef type challenge' to all our foodie friends - please create a plate of food with ALL the following ingredients: lettuce, a single overlooked Brussels sprout, a piece of over cooked grey cauliflower, scallops with roe, artichoke purée, a single tinned carrot, 2 broad beans (shelled and skinned), reduced liquid mint gel, mashed potato, mashed sweet potato, a cross between a caper and a tomato (pickled), half a flat bean cut into 2 small pieces, mini gelled balls of vinegar and oil, small cubes of 2 or 3 'vegetables' of your choice (must be unidentifiable in the final dish) and risotto rice... this 'restaurant' managed it so it is possible...!I could go on, but save it to say, there were many such elements in various dishes pushed to the side uneaten...There are redeeming features of this establishment - apparently it has a nice garden (we went in the evening so can't confirm this), our (1 glass each) wine was drinkable and a chocolate bombe thingy was very nice. Avoid at all costs unless you want a laugh, have more money than sense (some of these dishes carried supplementary costs!), are looking for inspiration for a situation comedy set in a village French restaurant that has long since past it's glory days (apparently it was pretty good once upon a time), and you have such a bad head cold that you can't taste anything you are eating (wearing a blindfold whilst eating might help?)PS - Forgot to mention that every dish came with a (wilted) edible flower.

This is my sixth visit and Have been made very welcome on all visits. The food is excellent and the choice is always good and nothing is to much for Claire the chef she is always available to make sure everything is perfect I have has some amazing deserts. But my favourite was basil ice cream with my mixed tomatoes starter OMG it was a-m-a-z-I-n-g.

Delighted to see that the new management is doing a great job here in one of our favourite spots.We had the lunch menu for 17â¬, three courses, delicious food beautifully presented. The lakeside setting takes some beating on a lovely sunny day.Looking forward to coming here again on our next visit in the summer.Highly recommended!

We visited for lunch with our local car club. It looks mediocre from the outside but inside has been beautifully updated with style and then you walk through to a lovely shaded terrace out the back. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was excellent we all had the menu du jour and is was spot on. Would definitely make the journey to visit again.
