Auberge de la Plaine sur Sainte-Gemme-La-Plaine

Formerly the Auberge de la Plaine, where we used to come every year to feast when we went on vacation, we were already surprised by the new name "Mille Saveurs," which is more reminiscent of a neighborhood Chinese restaurant than a good local restaurant... but that's a detail! Then the wait... very, very, very long, and the tables around it were in the same situation! The menu is more extensive than the previous owner's... but we know that in catering, this requires either more staff, or the price to pay will be a drop in quality... and in fact, the dishes are not very refined... the Caesar salad is greasy (the tandoori chicken is soft and mushy), the monkfish with rice is very average... the foie gras is ordinary... not bad, but nothing special, even though the prices are higher. Where are the differences? The previous owner and his team were very empathetic and jovial (Jean Dujardin's visit is a testament to this). The menu is short and features extraordinary ingredients sourced by the owner (langoustines, etc.), very refined and flavorful sauces, and ultimately, simple but excellent dishes that make you want to come back. Unfortunately, this isn't the case so far. Good luck to the whole team! And to enjoy the place, I read Honesty Bar (found on Amazon), a great, non-violent, "feel-good" thriller... TOP!

I highly recommend it. Quality, quantity, presentation, nothing to complain about, it's perfect 👍

A wonderful discovery during our vacation. A beautiful restaurant, a warm welcome. Excellent cuisine, very well presented. A place to treasure.

July 2, 2025 Great welcome We had a starter from the menu and a mixed frog legs and eel dish, finished with scoops of ice cream and a gourmet coffee washed down with a half-pint of local rosé...all excellent, plentiful and delicious. We'll be back on our next family trip.

A small meal for two on a Sunday lunchtime. Call at 11:00 a.m. to reserve for two at 1:00 p.m. and no problem. A warm welcome awaited us. We had an aperitif, a starter, main course, and dessert menu, and a bottle of wine. We ate very well: (snail cromesquis, squid tentacles, beef with asparagus and vitelotte purée, roast quail with peas, gourmet coffee, and a vanilla mousse macaron with exotic fruits). A very good meal 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

We went there for a surprise, and we were the ones who were surprised! The menu is limited, but the dishes are tasty and extremely well presented. This is very much appreciated. The welcome is warm and the service impeccable. We had a pleasant time and will definitely return.

Very good food and unbeatable value for money

Found this lovely little gem on route to La Rouchelle. Food superb, staff & setting excellent. Plus dogs welcome 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Very warm welcome, attentive staff, a chef who is certainly passionate about his job. Thank you to the whole team for this pleasant moment.

Very good experience. We were very well received for a dinner for 4 people, including a vegetarian who was able to have a very good tailor-made menu.
