➤ 465 Route de Gaillac | Ambres, 81500 Lavaur, France

Menu • Soupe • Français • Européen • Épicerie

"I was impressed on many levels. The first has to be its location, situated in the tiny village of Ambres some kilometres from Lavaur, and definitely worth the drive. Compared to other restaurants in the area, Chez John feels different, even from the outside. The first impression upon entering is one of contemporary elegance, a city style rather than rural charm, with widely spaced tables and delightful modern cutlery and glasses. The lighting isn't harsh, the decor works perfectly, and a warm welcome only adds to the ambience. Now I've eaten in a number of restaurants where all this can feel pretentious, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating so to speak, and here Chez John doesn't disappoint. The menu is small but well balanced and using the freshest locally sourced ingredients. The dishes are assembled with great attention to detail, the flavours are harmonious, and everything cooked to perfection. The wine list isn't extensive but cover most tastes and aren't overly expensive, favouring several from the local wine-growing area of Gaillac. The plates aren't copious but you wouldn't expect them to be for a restaurant of this kind. What you do get is quality and a memorable dining experience, where good food and service set Chez John apart. Definitely worth a visit."

"Very good experience of this crêperie. Quick and careful service. I found by eating the pancakes the sensations I had this summer by eating the pancakes in the Breton crêperies. Very good value quality price. Convenient because close to the market that takes place on Saturday morning."

Les Pasteliers

➤ 7 rue Alsace Lorraine, 81500 Lavaur, France

Menu • Pizza • Cafés • Sushi • Asiatique

"having eaten too well at noon, our evening at the hotel/Restaurant is seen reduced to the strict survival meal. well a pity to the map, however the little we chose (5 guests) allowed us to test the quality and variety of the dishes offered. everything was a perfect success, for my part a carpaccio of beef with a very good bill, not to say exceptional. The same was true for others who had different choices. a next visit, a noon, will allow us to taste the other dishes of this excellent restaurant. The wine was not left. excellent as the rest."

O Saveurs

➤ 2 rue Peyras, 81500 Lavaur, France

Menu • Sushi • Mexicain • Végétarien • Fruits De Mer

---

"Sorbets, ice creams, local drinks, organic ... And especially excellent. Dare the pepper or basil lemon sorbet. Don't be afraid of mixtures (or not) on the wise advice of these ice artists housed in the medieval centre of Lavaur. Savors guaranteed, conviviality claimed and taken elegantly. Goes the detour absolutely"

Le Vieux Marché

➤ 14 Place Du Vieux Marché, 81500 Lavaur, France, French Republic

Menu • Cafés • Mexicain • Asiatique • Végétarien

"we dined on the floor, chosen the menu at 19 euros with entrance - dish - dessert. So let's be honest, the meal was actually good for the price.But I would have preferred to pay a little more expensive and have a more tasteful entrance (fish flan and mousseline of suitable shrimp but rather insipid), well-cut duck parmenter but 80% of potato, shotamisu with correct strawberries but rather a vanilla mousse with some strawberries. You will be satisfied with the welcome in all perfect points, just wait for a good meal for a reasonable price but not quite at the height if you are gourmet and connoisseur."
