Le Poirier Gaston sur Bardenac

We ate very well, but it was so crowded that sometimes we couldn't hear ourselves speak. I was a little disappointed that there was no menu and we didn't get to choose what we wanted to eat. I think some people have allergies or dietary restrictions, so it's not suitable for everyone. That's the only negative point. The meal consists of six courses (soup/two appetizers/main course/cheese/salad/dessert).

I don't know if restaurants like this still exist elsewhere. Because it's a gem. A complete meal for a ridiculously low price and of very good quality. It's really worth the trip.

Restaurant in a quiet little village. No menu, a simple but good meal, like grandma's. Excellent service, no waiting. We recommend it and will gladly return. The only downside was the lack of heating, which was a bit of a drawback on November 14th.

A last-minute appointment led me here. It's the same menu for everyone. You just go with the flow. Starter, main course, salad, cheese, dessert, wine, coffee. All for under €20. Delicious, easy-to-digest, home-style cooking made with quality ingredients. Unbeatable value for money.

Good menu, quite generous for the price

I really wanted the food to be better. Several of us met up here after 4 years of absence. All of us with happy memories of home made, simple, delicious food. You never get the same menu twice. This time it was 6 small courses including veg soup, shredded raw carrot and celeriac in dressing, smoked cold sliced ham in mushroom sauce, guinea fowl with superb roast potatoes, cheese and lettuce and finally a selection of cakes. Included was a bottle of red wine for the table and coffee. The food was OK, but we all remembered it being superb. Maybe it was just poor luck on the day. It's a lovely French rustic restaurant superbly run by few staff. I will go back.

A wonderful experience, a step back in time to our beloved bistro restaurants of yesteryear. No menu, but quality dishes. Competent, helpful, and friendly staff. I highly recommend this restaurant and would happily return. Thank you to the owner and all the staff.

Excellent meal. Reminiscent of our grandmothers' cooking. Pure bliss. Will be repeated without moderation. Thank you for the welcome and the quality of the cuisine.

The words "EXTRAORDINARY" and "KINDNESS" were created just for this restaurant, quite simply. Lunch on Friday, September 19, 2025

Really excellent, very well eaten, it's not a 3 star, it's simple but very very good, everything homemade, excellent
