Four in our group so we had the four starters, four main dishes, and desserts. Shared all four of four, excellent. Melon soup, and lemon spinach ravioli, sirloin, surf and turf which was pork medallions with small clams; each separately and together excellenté. Our staff were understanding of our sad language skills - we were polite and they were excited to see us and welcoming. Some photos attached too - oh and quite reasonable priced. Thanks Bernard for the recommendation.

Thus, with the late afternoon rain still dripping from the large shade tree, we had our choice of dining in or out...what a considerate beginning to a super experience! The meats were done to perfection, the presentation was innovative and attractive, and the taste was outstanding. The husband-wife owner team were cordial and efficient. It was a truly delightful evening in a cozy setting. Next time I want to eat on the outdoors deck with its lovely lighting.

We had intended to eat outdoors under the restaurant's lovely setting on a deck with party lights and a huge lovely overhanging tree, but because the weather was iffy, we dined indoors in their intimate restaurant. I had to break away from my vegan diet tonight to try one of their three course meals. Everyone in my party was in awe of all in awe of the wonderful variety of gourmet foods and then the elegant way the dishes were prepared, plus the exquisite taste of the meals. I've never had a better meal, and the ambiance was was lovely, with beautiful paintings, candlelit tables with linen table clothes and napkins. The owners are a husband wife team. We were treated cordially, and the evening couldn't have been nicer. I look forward to returning to this restaurant on my next visit to France.

We are from New York City, and went to this restaurant to celebrate our upcoming wedding with our…read moreFrench friends. From the moment we arrived, until we left - the experience was "magnifique!". The food was the perfect mix of inventive and classic... flavors were wonderful, and the display of each dish was a work of art. In addition the setting was so beautiful, an old stone barn updated to retain its charm. To top off our experience, we must mention that the service was exceptionally attentive. We were amazed at how nicely the restaurant handled our large table, and made sure the meal flowed smoothly. This restaurant now has one Michelin star, but I suspect they will soon get a second Michelin Star - and the warm and friendly couple who run Les Relais des Moines deserve all the praise.

Sunday lunch at its best!…read more We were a party of three for lunch. The food was creative, delicious, beautifully presented from the amuse bucket to the finishing coffee. Each course was not only beautiful but satisfyingly tasty. A trio of soups, garlic, mushroom, bean were a lovely beginning and then the meal progressed through salad, soup, seafood, pigeon, fish, sweets, and coffee. They deserve their Michelin star! We had the paired wine with each course and were very happy with the sommelier's choices. A white chateau Neuf du pap was particularly notable. You will not be disappointed! Booking essential.

This is a beautiful setting. Lunch however is overpriced and somewhat restrictive. Winery goodread more
