La Laurendiere sur Olivet

I made a reservation at random from among other restaurants, and ended up completely won over. The food was high quality, the service excellent, and the atmosphere warm. I've spent much more in Parisian restaurants and been less satisfied. It's a perfect score for me.

We were recommended La Laurendiere by Olivier at Chateaux Le Rondon. The Service was outstanding as was the food. Every one of the five courses was a taste sensation and the local Cabernet Franc was delicious. Having just spent two weeks in England this meal was half the price and three times better than the most expensive dinner we had there. Clearly the English can still learn a thing or two from the Culinary masters! A six star experience.

We had a very pleasant time on Sunday evening, May 17th. The food was excellent, the service outstanding, and the waiter's exceptional manner made this place truly special. The wine list was equally remarkable. Bravo!

Yesterday at lunchtime we had lunch at La Laurendière and we had a wonderful time. The food was very good, the dishes were well-prepared and enjoyable, but what truly made our lunch memorable was the waiter who took care of us. An exceptional gentleman, attentive from beginning to end, very responsive, understanding of our needs, and incredibly kind. You can feel his genuine passion for service and his real desire to please his customers.

An experience with a touch of vintage charm in terms of decor and service, but a very pleasant surprise. The meal was delicious and generous. We left delighted with our experience. The staff was attentive and friendly. An incredible wine list.

There are meals you forget. This one? Impossible. You push open the door and immediately feel at ease in this traditional French dining room, which doesn't feel old-fashioned, like the image you have of your grandparents' house, complete with silverware. After receiving a warm welcome, you relax and let yourself be carried away. The "Pleasure" menu is honest and generous; it delivers on its promises from start to finish: to indulge without breaking the bank, either physically or financially. To begin, the poached egg with cream and smoked salmon as a starter is perfectly balanced, if I may say so; the kind of dish that appears simple but actually requires real precision, revealing smoky and bacon-like flavors without using a single piece of meat. You can tell the kitchen takes care to create a just-right sauce. The suckling pig ham confirms this; Melt-in-your-mouth delicious, accompanied by a golden-brown potato galette and an exquisite honey caramel sauce, so much so that you find yourself slowing down, savoring every bite, not wanting the plate to be empty. The cheese course that follows is one of those unexpected moments that ultimately define the restaurant's identity: Boulette d'Avesnes, Mimolette, Gruyère, ash-coated goat cheese... and with honey on request, generosity is the key word. The Caribbean pineapple and coconut tartlet finally arrives, but it's only at this point that the problem arises. Firstly, because it was chosen at the beginning of the meal due to its preparation time, it's no longer as welcome at the end when it arrives piping hot; a cooler note becomes preferable. Its warmth and frangipane-like base then overpower the much-anticipated tropical notes. The intention was admirable, and it was the only moment where a slight disconnect with the rest of the meal was felt. A colder or fruitier version would easily fit in, in my opinion. The criticism was received with a smile and genuine openness; this kind of kind exchange perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the establishment. Because that is perhaps the highest compliment I can pay La Laurendière: in three hours of dining, we didn't even notice the time passing. The entire staff deserves praise for their attentiveness, their friendliness, and their natural ability to put you at ease from the very first moment and make the time fly by. I am simply captivated, but I will have to return to peruse the extensive wine list, which I must have cursed while driving...

In a word, incredible! A most pleasant atmosphere, perfect service, fresh food, refined menus, very reasonable prices for the quality, wines from all over the world—nothing to complain about. But the best part? The staff: friendly and smiling. We are delighted!

The Valentine's Day menu was excellent, congratulations to the team, great team, see you very soon ❤️

Discovered by chance after the creative arts fair in Orléans, we were very pleased with the service, the quality of the food, and the generous portions, proving that it's possible. Special thanks to the chef for the excellent service and also to the chef who greeted us when we received the bill (a friendly touch). Thank you so much, and a very fond memory for my birthday.

The waiter was very pleasant and smiling, his energy was infectious. The food was delicious. Thank you also to the waitress for her kindness and attentiveness to our daughter. Excellent service.
