"Ok if you tell a French person that you have a holiday home not far from Limoges,Which is south central France they think you are bit strange, doesn't every one (if English)go to the Dordogne or to the South, Cannes, Nice E.T.C. well if you are in Limoges and thus evidently strange I reccomend having lunch in this small cafe and then crossing the road to visit the Cathedral or given my interest in the second world war,why not check out the new resistance museum (which is also 100M just opposite the cafe,more on that in my next review).The food in this Cafe is great, very French and very good, get there on the dot of 12 or you will struggle to beat the locals to a table.We always have the plat de jour which varies, last time it was chicken in a choice of wine or leek sauce followed by crem caramel or cheese. The food is delicious the atmosphere is warm and genuine, even the waitress spoke perfect English I had to ask where she picked up such a good accent and felt a bit of a turnip when it turns out she was English. I'm sure she thought I was flirting but I'm old enough to be her dads dad, here's the best thing of all it cost less then €15 per head."

Stumbled across this by Chance, traditional French Bistro full of locals with a plate de Jour at 8.80 a bargain and all done in around an hour...longer if you want. Recommended

Managed to get a meal at 1.30pm once the crowd had gone, but we had enjoyed the Musee De Beaux Art. The Plat de Jour was finioshed but an excellent salad. Was welcomed by Patron and Staff and would have returned had they been open on our last evening.

Went here on the recommendation of friends in the Limousin region. We weren't disappointed! A delicious Salade de la Semaine and very reasonably priced. Plat de Jour looked very appetising, as did many of the other dishes being chosen around us. Excellent desserts, followed by coffee, rounded off a very enjoyable experience and one we intend repeating next time we are in Limoges.

On a day trip to Limoges, stopped at this restaurant because it looked nice from the outside. The inside was full so we decided to brave the elements (and potential smokers) and sit outside. The service was excellent. Our drinks were with us instantly and our waiter translated some of the trickier items into English for us. Since it was a Friday there was an abundance of fish on the menu which was great as we don't eat meat. The food was delicious. Well recommended!!

Very good on the whole. We had a lunchtime meal of the day with chicken,rice and in the waitresses words "mushy carrots" The meal was nice in a lovely lunchtime atmosphere but I did expect a little more given the reviews. Perhaps it was just the the fairly plain dish of the day on offer; however it was reasonably priced.Perhaps unfair to judge this place without sampling an evening meal. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but was looking for more. My wife would have given a harsher review than me and felt it was slightly overated. Then again she is hard to please!

Stumbled across this place while ambling to the cathedral.We kinda thought 'near the older, touristy part of town so it won't be up to much' but we did notice the aromas and so thought we'd give it a whirl.So glad we did. Fantastic food; the escargot/mushroom/cheese and the mussels entrees were flavoursome beyond belief. The mains (gambas brochette and one of their range of salads; chicken and mango toast) were just as good. Good food is always better with good service but the guys here made great food even better by providing genuinely great service. Really friendly, really helpful. View menu

"Booked the day before, we arrive a little late, no worries for the welcome which was charming: First glances, the dining room is cozy, the armchairs cute, the restaurant decor is trendy. Low volume music giving the nice soundscape. The starters were as tasty as they were well presented, even a little surprise in the association of tastes. The dishes, more traditional, were very well made, no errors in cooking or seasoning, the sauces highlighting the meat well, and the effort of presentation always welcome. The wine advice was perfect, my glass of Corsican wine was even surprising and went wonderfully with my beef. We were able to taste only one dessert, because we had eaten well before, the chocolate cake was very good as well as the accompanying vanilla ice cream. The coffee even if it's a detail was served in pretty cups, ending the meal on a warm note : We can only recommend this restaurant, both for the cozy atmosphere and the delicious food : (Original Reserved, the day before, we arrive a little late, no worries for the welcome that was charming : First look, the room is cozy, the cute chairs, the decor of the restaurant is trendy.

"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. :-)"
