Jardin Royal sur Chauray

25/02/2026: We came yesterday for the first time. We were immediately welcomed and seated. It's a very large restaurant on the square, quite intimate because the dining room is divided in two with decorative walls. The decor is very pretty. The dining area is very spacious; you don't feel crowded. There's a lot of choice. However, not all the dishes are labeled; almost all the appetizers and desserts have names. The steak didn't have a label; I had to ask. It's pork, not beef, and it has a very unusual taste. The sirloin steak was very good. The pumpkin fritter was a discovery; it was very good. But the first one I ordered was cooked in sweet oil, and the second one from another batch was cooked in salted oil, which completely changed the taste... It's better sweet. The churros with Nutella were very good, but there was too much frying oil. There are very few choices for main courses, which is a shame (the appetizers and desserts are okay; there's a decent selection). I saw red bean fritters in the soup, but I didn't want to try them as I wasn't familiar with them. The mussels were in tomato sauce; I recommend having them in a garlic and herb béchamel sauce instead—they're much better. When it came to dessert, I went to the cheese course, looked around, thought about it, and picked a piece of cheese that still didn't have a label... I took a piece, and it was salted butter... Horrible! It was with all the other cheeses, shaped like it. I agree with the comment about the self-sliced ​​sausage; everyone touches it, and it's not hygienic. We still enjoyed our meal, though. But some things need improvement. There's not enough variety, and it would be helpful to label all the dishes. We came on Tuesday at lunchtime, and there were very few people. But at least the price is the lowest at lunchtime.

17/02/2026: We used to go there quite regularly, either as a couple or with friends. We feel the quality and selection have declined. In short, there are equally good places for less money. It's a shame.
