The interior felt like i was in someone's house for a meal. We ordered the house specialty: la poulet au pot. it was the most delicious and hearty meal yet not rich and filling. the broth was somewhat sweet yet salty too and not overly so. We also ordered a 50 cL of red wine. We ordered a flourless chocolate cake for dessert with ice cream. after that we had some espresso. I was so happy.

The unassuming restaurant inside a small hotel serves spectacular and authentic local cuisine to a world class standard, priced well below market for this caliber. I won't get into the menu here. Please look them up and if you are in the area, make a stop for a three course meal. This is a hidden gem and the food - nay, the cuisine Normandie, is simply a delight!

There is a catch though, only 2 choices for a starter and main course and maybe 3/4 for dessert. There is no a la carte dining here but the menu changes daily to take into account what they can get at the market. For the price I paid and the amount of courses I got, the food is slightly above average. Food is designed to be homestyle, quick, simple and filling and dear god it was. It is a lunch only place and is hugely popular with the working class of the area.

Found this place by chance after a hike in the Belleme forest. Outstanding cuisine and service…read more Traditional French dishes are prepared and cooked to perfection (e.g. Homemade foie gras, riz de veau) and so are the seasonal vegetables. Service is efficient yet discrete and caring. Such a simple and charming Michelin guide restaurant. This is a hidden little gem in the countryside. Highly recommend it to travelers with a discerning taste!!

What an amazing dinner in Le Mans! Google maps told us the restaurant opened at 6:30p but when we…read morearrived the owner told us he was still preparing for the night and to come back around 7:15-7:30p which we agreed to. It seems very typical of French restaurant to not begin serving food until around 7:30p so mistake on our part! When we came back at 7:30 half of the restaurant was already full but the owner gestured to a table which was reserved for us. I think what was most impressive is this restaurant is a one man show. The owner is both the chef and the server and is able to do everything for the restaurant at the same time. While we were dining, many locals stopped in to get to-go salads or tabbouleh which really shows that this is one of the best spots to go to in Le Mans. For food we ordered a charcuterie plate, gazpacho, vegetarian salad, and an aperetif. All the food was extremely delicious. My favorite was definitely the gazpacho which had the perfect amount of kick to it. I'd also never had melon with my salad with spices on top, the mixture of the sweet and savory was amazing. I will definitely be back here if we are in Le Mans again. The service we received was amazing, the food prices were reasonable, and the food was impeccably delicious. The owner spoke some english and we were able to order with my limited knowledge of french, he stopped by many times throughout the meal to ensure we were liking the food and to see if we wanted anything else.

The setting is so charming and the tables are far apart so it is relaxing and looks out over the garden. The menu offers a great variety of classic dishes and regional favorite along side some unique offerings. The wine list is well priced with a good selection. The service is friendly and professional. The kitchen uses excellent local ingredients and turns out lovely traditional dishes that are bit more refined. For lunch, I was presented with a pot of delicious rillette and perfect toasted bread, then the magret du canard, grilled perfectly, and topped with a tasty honey sauce, with nice side dishes, and then I ate two perfectly cooked crepes with hot chocolate sauce and creamy vanilla bean ice cream for a whopping 15 Euros?! Talk about value for money. What made it worth 5 stars? Go there. Sit down and you will have one of the nicest moments in your life.
