La Barbacane sur Montreuil-Bellay

23/05/2026: View of M6 with Yoann and Robert, a very, very good meal, friendly owner, not to be missed! Bravo and thank you!

16/05/2026: The decor is unusual, the staff in costume. No particular atmosphere. Classic dishes, but well-prepared. Warm welcome from the owner. Set menu, you get the impression you'll get too much, but not at all. A 15cl glass of wine or apple juice as an aperitif is a bit stingy. However, allow 2 hours. The "foudres" (a type of small, round cake) are distributed sparingly, so you might have to wait 15 minutes to continue your starter. They bring you the main course you haven't finished, the rillettes, because they've run out of "foudre," and so on. The cheese course arrives before you've been refilled with "foudres" to finish the rillettes and mogettes... And then they give you one "foudre" each! The waitress was unpleasant. We had the misfortune of saying we thought we'd been forgotten, and we received three consecutive remarks. She practically crushed the "foudres" in the basket with a curt "Is that all right with you?" in a very appropriate tone. If it hadn't been a set menu, we would have left. The staff were running around like crazy, you could feel the tension. At the beginning of the meal, I wanted to come back with my husband, but I definitely won't be going back!
