Le Relais du Cheval Blanc sur Bournezeau

Returning from vacation, we stumbled upon this little working-class restaurant. We were about to walk right past it, thinking it was closed. It was a bit empty and dark outside, but we decided to go in anyway. We arrived a little late, but the owner still served us. The meal was decent, except for the cheese—just two tiny pieces, already cut, per person. We overlooked that. Otherwise, we weren't disappointed overall.

Great food at a reasonable price, and a super friendly welcome 👍

Good food, for people passing through, or for people who are working. With little time

Great restaurant, warm and friendly welcome, simple and delicious food! I highly recommend it.

15 euros for the only option: a starter buffet (small, and be warned! You're not allowed to go back for even a tiny bit of pastry!), three main courses to choose from: ham hock, calamari fritters, or chicken, a maximum of two small pieces of the two cheeses available, and a single basic dessert (flan, éclair, yogurt, compote, chocolate mousse, or panna cotta). It's still inexpensive, but nothing homemade, contrary to what I've read; it's basic, mass-produced food. Sorry, I didn't enjoy it.

Absolutely perfect from start to finish. A REAL roadside restaurant, the kind you wish you could find everywhere. Impeccable service, perfect homemade food. And spotless restrooms with a proper shower, just like at home.
