C'heu l'Zib sur Menetou-Salon

A very warm welcome, local and traditional cuisine. The products are of exceptional quality and cooked to perfection. This establishment is highly recommended for those who appreciate truly good food.

A true Berry inn for years. Always at the top.

Real, authentic, but above all, flavorful and expert. Bravo to the latest generation who are perpetuating the heritage and tradition. In this heatwave, we had lunch in the garden, and our dog was able to accompany us. A welcoming and efficient welcome, just like the service. This local cuisine must be preserved and encouraged. A beautiful wine list, and once the meal was over, we headed off to the winemaker's to take our wonderful discovery home with us. We now know the signature dishes; we'll be back to taste the others.

We set out one summer evening, armed with our noble appetites, in search of a modest lodging. "No palace! Just an inn," but what an inn...!!! We stepped through the door and entered another era...the 1930s. A host entered the room to welcome us like an artist entering the stage. He took note of my reservation and led us through the old inn, showing us the rustic setting that would be our stage and just what was needed to make the service a truly high art. A showcase for the aperitif, a Berry kir and a Sancerre mousse. Then came the pike, beautifully dressed in sauce, a dish that has been served at the inn since 1937, and to match its charm, a singing foie gras. Our host brought in a poultry for the second act, which was certainly a welcome addition to the play, along with its beautifully dressed vegetables, ready for the rest of the play. Then came the intermission, with a green salad scented with Berry walnuts, featuring the treasures of our region, on a platter fit for a king... Our host had managed to please us, allowing us to see how far our appetites would go. To conclude this lovely play, we were about to wonder how this epilogue would be, for our appetite had already sapped the curtain... And as the canvas awaits the brush, our host returned to the stage with sweetness and delicacies of candied fruit in a velvet syrup, to also introduce us to Miss Charlotte au Chocolat, who is also a character in her own right at this inn... Morality: He who seeks a simple feast May sometimes encounter the divine. The C'heu l'Zib inn, with its sincere art, highlights all the actors for our simplest indulgence.

A local staple and always well received The pike specialties and chocolate charlotte are always on the menu

My opinion is certainly biased because I knew this establishment over 20 years ago, but almost everything has changed. Gone are the terrines on the table, the generous dishes, and the warm welcome. The flavors are still present, but tarnished by the nonchalance of the owner, the less-than-perfect service, and the rationing of the plates (even the pickle jar wasn't placed on the table with the scallops). The changes are certainly due to inflation, but a smile and a warm welcome cost nothing...

A must-visit for an exceptional and simple meal. Here, expertise and tradition combine with high-quality local produce, served with impeccable attention and a warm staff. The atmosphere is both familial and relaxed, whether in the dining room or in the charming garden. A restaurant you absolutely must discover! This isn't our first visit, and certainly won't be our last!

An unmissable experience with specialties to taste

A wonderful culinary experience. We received a very warm welcome. Asparagus, herring with potatoes, pike with cream, cheese, and chocolate charlotte. Delicious! We will return with great pleasure.

Great, thank you for welcoming my group of 12 people, we had an exceptional time in your restaurant. It was perfect. (The photo is the one taken at the beginning of the year :-) .. )
