LE CENTRAL BRASSERIE sur Roanne

Excellent meal at Central this June 2026, varied flavors and very good value for money, I recommend it

We returned to Le Central for dinner during our visit to Roanne. We received a very warm welcome, the service was good, and the restaurant is beautiful, spacious, and traditional—not to be missed. The food is good and prepared with care using fresh ingredients. The menu is small, which makes choosing easy and ensures homemade dishes. The orange risotto with curry cream was very creamy. My husband and I would have appreciated an extra minute of cooking time, as the rice was much too "al dente." It's a shame the rice is served spread out on a large plate, but the waiter told us... that's how Mr. Troisgros prefers it. The confit sturgeon was cooked to perfection; we simply added a pinch of fleur de sel. The strawberry dessert was light. As last year, we had a lovely evening.

The restaurant has a bistro-style decor, but the tables for two are a bit small. The gourmet menu features flavorful, well-presented dishes. The appetizer portion was a little small. The peach Melba was excellent. The service was pleasant but somewhat impersonal.

A lunch like I wish I could have every day: the food is precise, delicious, and beautifully presented; the wine is well-chosen, and the setting is superb. The service is elegant and relaxed.

A delightful stop on our motorhome holiday route.

It had been 11 years since my last visit, as I was no longer in the area, and I found the same quality, service, and my Dariole cheese was absolutely top-notch. What a pleasure and what a treat! 🌟🌟🌟🌟 David from Just2Sing

A huge thank you to Eva and Alexis for their warm welcome, professionalism, and attention to detail. Their passion is evident at every moment and greatly contributes to making the experience unforgettable.

Two excellent menus and nice wines. Service a little casual, but a great experience.

Thank you to the whole team for this great time. Everything was perfect.

The only downside was that we couldn't taste the wine beforehand... But otherwise, it was flawless from start to finish 😋
