I had the tuna, which was perfectly cooked and surrounded by a succulent puree of red peppers with leeks. The wife had the lamb, which she also said was delicious. For a starter we tried the scallops in a cream sauce--so tender and NOT overcooked. Desert was a homemade mille feuille that used whipping cream instead of pastry cream, making it much lighter than your usual mille feuille. The service was brisk and efficient. If you can get a table on the terrace, go for it. The restaurant was packed on a Thursday night so be sure to make a reservation and expect tight tables--typical in France. The place as crowded with happy locals, a sure sign that it delivers great food at a fair price.

Not sure why such high reviews. My gazpacho was green and in dire need of salt, although the…read morefalafel in the Lebanese special was excellent with its super crisp outside and soft inside. However even salt didn't help the orange hummus in the plate. Dessert was good, service was friendly but overwhelmed.

Hidden away in a small hamlet about 15 minutes from Chinon makes for a wonderful break from the…read moretourist overload in Chinon proper. We had eaten in Chinon the previous night, and found that while the quality was comparable or perhaps slightly better, the price, quiet atmosphere and attentive service more than made up for the difference. The husband/wife team worked tirelessly to make our dinner pleasant, and although their English isn't as strong as one might get in a tourist hub - it was more than sufficient! We each had the prix fix menu for under 20 euros, including an appetizer, main, and dessert. With wine and coffee, we spent just less than 60 euros for two - highly competitive in Chinon, where similar prix-fix menus go for between 30 and 40 euros per person. The quality and taste if the food was without reproach, and presented fresh and simple French cuisine at its best. The fish/ratatouille main is a must-try, as is the prawn/fish roulade.

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.

We were happy to see a number a good reviews on Yelp and an interesting menu and decided to have dinner here. Our waiter was very friendly but did not speak much English and we speak French rather badly, but we were all able to manage just fine. I ordered the Charcuterie platter for my dinner, which was delicious. Dining companions had a chicken dish and the fish du jour. Everyone was happy with choices. Good food. Good service. I would certainly come back.
