Brasserie l'Ecu sur Saint-Yrieix-La-Perche

25/09/2024: We had a lovely ‘menu de jour’ meal here for a bargain. The food is not ‘cordon bleu’, but very tasty and nutritious It’s clearly very popular with local tradespeople for lunch, as well as a few other locals having social meals out. It’s not aimed at tourists, but we were made very welcome For any British folks who aren’t familiar with this sort of place, imagine the best ‘greasy spoon’ cafe you’ve ever been to, then think of it serving French home cooking instead, at about half the price you’d pay in the UK (4 courses, bread, ½ litre wine and coffees at less than £15 a head)

01/09/2024: Small "worker's restaurant" as they were called before there was fast food.....unpretentious but well-cooked cuisine, choice of dishes, on-site cooking. There are few like that left, let's not hesitate to put them to work rather than eating a hamburger while driving your car in a large parking lot, the price is the same!!!!
