"Haven't been here for a while and when I found that Redon was closed for the holidays this was a natural fall back.Note to the restaurant - the exterior looks unloved and downright dingy and we came really close to just walking past and going to one of the restaurants at the bottom of the street. Clean the paintwork up, maybe a couple of olive trees in tubs? SOMETHING that says ' Welcome - come in - we care about details here.....'Anyway - so glad we didn't walk past. Decor is good - fine dining touches if a little dated. Service is inexperienced and there are slips - no butter, wine spilt, no offer to take coats. But the food more than made up for it. For 28 Euros you get an amuse, three courses and mignardises. Add wine and coffee and 2 people walk out well under 100 euros for a superb lunch. Starters ( brandade in gaspacho and salmon with beetroot and vanilla puree) were superb - well judged and seasones with bags of flavour. Mains of a sous vide chicken with verveine were cooked to perfection ( i meant to ask the timing and temp but forgot) and the desserts were excellent - a medley of peaches which were sweet without being cloying.Superb - just please do something about the outside - you deserved to be busier than those 3 tables for lunch!"

Fine dining, great atmosphere, and not a bill to make your eyes water. This must be one of Limoges 's finest restaurant and we look forward to revise it in a near feature! The menu offers something for all taste.

A class act and well worth a visit. Excellent food and service from English speaking staff. A lovely comfortable dining room adds to the pleasure. For the two of us we paid 131 euros and had nothing to complain about. Treat yourself and go.

A 1 star Michelin in the centre of the old town. Beautifully decorated, attentive staff, outstanding food. An amuse bouche, 2 courses and a palate cleanser for 23 Euros each. Really good value. Haven't eaten so cheaply in such a quality restaurant ever.

A chance finding which greatly pleased. A fine dining room and lovely attentive service.A good wine list not too expensive [well not compared to some places!].tThe cheapest menu of 23€ was our choice and it was indeed good. The main course was a nice merlu. I doubt you could do better!

Very well received by excellent staff. Very good and fine traditional fresh French cooking accompanied by a good wine list. Plenty of space and more privacy than you would find in most restaurants. Nice and friendly staff but I have not found the time to check their English language capacities.

We stumbled in by chance, but were amazed by the quality and value of the food, from an appetiser of magret de canard and foie gras, amuse bouche of artichoke velouté, through 3 delicious courses, ending with mignardises of a sort of bitter chocolate shot and a mini Madeleine, with a straight out of the oven crispy top and soft bottom, that reminded me of my mother's cakes from my childhood, in a truly Ratatouille moment, all for a very reasonable €28.

Set in the beautiful old part of town is this classic french restaurant. For 23 euros for 2 courses (28 euros for 3 courses) we chose from 2 etherial starters, either beef parmentier with truffle oil or a tartare of duck with a poached egg. Flavours that left your taste buds overflowing with sensation.Then either a suptuous piece of veal with chanterelles or filet de lieu noir with caramilised endive and an emulsion of cauliflower. You can't speak. Just savour.Then when you think it can't get any better they produce a orange tart with pastry that is as perfect as only a sure footed chef can be.Great coffee and petit fours all at an unbelievable price.You think you've died and gone to heaven!

We opted for thé ‘menu des halles’ (not available in the weekend , a 3 course meal and a glass of a white and a red wine (both available per glass . We were warmly welcomed, escaping the pouring rain and a ‘amuse’ (a spoonful of kiwi soup excellent(, followed swiftly as did the white wine. The starters were a millefeuille and slowly cooked smoked salmon, both a delight. Main course was (for both a ‘supreme de volaille’ never had a juicier preparation. The desserts: a range of mouthwatering ice flavours (home made! for the choosing. We paid 34€/person for the meal (in our view Michelin start quality for a bistro price and reasonable 8 and 10€ for the wine. We will be back soon! Super price/qu...

"Only just of the beaten track which makes parking much easier! This restaurant is expensive in relation to others but is good value considering the quality and service. The menu takes a bit of working out as prices for steak are quoted by weight (multiples of 100gms) and the minimum weight you can order is also stated. To make matters more complicated you can also chose how many weeks the meat has been matured for. Whether you choose Classic or 4 week mature, the quality is all good and extremely well cooked. Even meat cooked very rare is melting. This is a "proper" steak restaurant so make sure you go for the steak. There are fixed price menus but I would keep it simple. Steak, chips with its side of vegetables. Pork and lamb is also available and there is a concession to non-meat eaters in the form of a mushroom omelette. I am sure it is delicious ......Wine is also priced at the top end and excellent. . House wine is also very acceptable.Whenever we have visited the clientele have been all French from the professional classes who are there to see and be seen. Its fascinating ! One little niggle. At the price, the amuse bouche could have been more exciting than a thin slice of fairly mundane salami with a chunk of bread. For faux filet (250 gms) and a large entrecote steak (450 gms) , with a bottle of AC Beaujolais the bill will be around 70 Euros. A starter and pud could increase that by at least 20 Euros. Nevertheless, recommended for the quality, service and ambience. The staff are really charming."
