"Back again to this divine little bistro. Today the menu midi offered a crunchy parcel of goats cheese in filo, pork tenderloin in an exquisite light jeu followed by tarte tatin with salted caramel butter sauce.......I love this place. The welcome is always warm, cheerful and prompt. The talented chef is also busy around the tables greeting regulars and newcomers alike. I have eaten here many times and the menu changes every time taking the best local produce and producing a masterpiece. The talented chef has a light touch and the food looks as good as it tastes. Book at least one day in advance to be sure of a table. Snuggled behind the Market Hall at Place Carnot, you could pass by and miss it. Once found though you will be wondering why you did not try it before !"

"Arrived with reservation for 1 person. I advised owners that I spoke no French and they were kind to offer assistance. However, in addition to the regular menu, I was show the menu du jour which looked delicious (and it was! . But the pricing was 37 Europe for 2 people. When I selected it, I assumed, incorrectly, that an adjustment would be made to the pricing for a solo diner. Not the case. There was a complimentary taster of cream of mushroom soup followed by a starter consisted of a delicious scallops with leek cream sauce en croute. Amazingly good. The main was a piece of chicken (small breast/thigh in a brown sauce with spiced carrots and potatoes lyonnaise. Choice of cheese or tiramisu (a strawberry French version, I guess for dessert. Considering portion size, as well as set menu pricing, this did not seem like good value, altho I have no complaints about the food taste or quality. By 8:30, this small restaurant was filled to capacity. Make a reservation on The Fork."

"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."

"Okay. Pin yer lug holes back. :-) Was there last Sunday (again).I've read all the French reviews. They usually describe it as "simple food". It is to them cos they all like to eat Duck 5 ways & taste the same dish in every resto everywhere they go. It has to be precisely the same as every other gaff. If not? They won't go back.Jonny Foreigner isn't like that. We love the spices & variety of our Lives!French folk expect to be snarled at by waiting-on staff who sell them usually very ordinary ruge for 34€ a bottle. Makes them feel like they're at home. :lol:This lovely informal gaff is not like that. Deep Joy! You've found a gem.It's AWESOME for foreigners (who want to enjoy a varied menu & great grub at the right price in a wonderful place and, unusually seek to engage with happy, smiley & attentive staff). Washed down by a glass of something hoppy. At around 6€ a pint ;-)Fish & Chips remains the best we've ever tasted in France (shame about the frozen frites). Duck Burger is equally good. No idea about anything else on the menu cos we haven't needed to try anything else! Portion sizes are huge. Take your own Malt Vinegar.Can't recommend l'Irlandais highly enough. One of very few gaffs in SW France which caters for their audience. Let's be right. We all know why we go to an Oirish Bar, don't we? You will not be disappointed.Big Tip: Do the Brocante in Limoges in Autumn (October is usually the best time in our experience). Not filled with Tourists. Not too busy (yet busy enough). Bar l'Irlandais sits bang in the centre of that action. Park on Bvd de la Corderie if you can (which is closed off to provide car parking specifically for this monthly event). Do a few stalls, have lunch there then do the rest of the stalls (and explore the medieval centre of Limoges cos it's lovely in many ways). Book a table for 12.30 & the sun will appear over the high medieval buildings at the perfect time. Been in this area for 14 yrs & happy to pass the info on. For the benefit of others who may not be as experienced.YOU MUST BOOK A TABLE on the phone before you go on a Brocante Sunday! It's okay. They won't pretend they didn't understand nor snap your head off cos you pronounced "réservation svp" incorrectly (like so many other gaffs in France will).Real place, real food, real staff and long may it continue to provide a varied diet for everyone. The Guinness is always good. Draught of course. In pints. How refreshing. :-)"
