Au P'tit Bouchon - Menu

Lunch menu had interesting and tasty options. Excellent value for money. Excellent prompt and friendly service by the young enterprising owners. Much frequented by locals who work nearby.

We were in Challans for the market and were near this brasserie for lunch. It was the most authentic French of our holiday so far. It is busy as lunch arrives so early to make sure you get a table. The menu du...jour is a good choice. We had big chicken after smoked fish starter. The children's menu is also great. Friendly staff. We were very happy to find this place.

My wife and I visited with 2 friends for lunch in July 2013. Useful location 3 minutes walk from the bustling market. 3 excellent courses including a large buffet to start with, drinks and coffee came to about 60 euros between us. Excellent service, comfortable friendly ambience, well prepared dishes. The restaurant was full but the bonus and recommendation was that all the other guests were French. View menu

Good value for money. The café doesnt seat many, and it does get filled up with locals, but the staff are friendly and the food is good, and filling. Buffet starters, then freshly cooked main dish of the day, which changes each day (cassoulet, veal casserole...), but there is a choice if that doesnt appeal, and then simple pudding - chocolate mousse, fromage blanc ....We took a 2 year old, and his lunch turned up within 5 minutes of us ordering, and his pudding was served when he had had enough of the main meal. The staff then started playing with him.I would definitely recommend, well worth the effort of getting a table.

This small, seemingly family-run bar/resto is an ideal place for a good, quick lunch. The set menu at 12.50 euros could not be more reasonable and the food was well-prepared and fresh. An ample cold buffet serves as a starter. I had a very delicious cassoulet (too much) and my husband had the special, a grilled l'onglet (flank steak) with shallots and fresh homemade fried potatoes and salad. He finished happily with Ile Flottant (I cannot promise the creme anglais was house-made but it was fine). Service was efficient and rapid, if impersonal, but we understood as there were several groups waiting for seats. We weren't looking for gourmet dining, just a good simple meal and that is what we g...
