Le Roman des Saveurs sur Montmorillon

Amazing food prepared by chef Frank and wonderful front of house staff. We visited a few times and from the daily specials to the surprise degustation menu we had nothing but amazing food. Thank you

Google Review We discovered Le Roman des Saveurs in Montmorillon, and the experience was rather mixed. The restaurant has a very old-fashioned decor, even down to the table settings, which gives the whole place a somewhat "old-fashioned" feel. This might appeal to some, but it wasn't necessarily what charmed us most. On the other hand, we were pleasantly surprised by the prices, especially considering the set menus and dishes offered. It's almost surprising how the establishment can offer such prices for the products advertised! We both ordered a brioche with bacon and foie gras: a very pleasant surprise. The sauce was excellent, and the brioche was remarkably soft. For my part, I then ordered a beef fillet with coffee sauce. The sauce was good, and the meat was also delicious. I had asked for it to be cooked rare, but it ended up being somewhere between rare and medium, so nothing too dramatic, especially if you're being picky. The staff was also quite pleasant. Unfortunately, the biggest drawback was the wait, which was far too long. We waited over an hour and a half between the clearing of our starters and the serving of our main course. There were indeed some large tables in the restaurant, so perhaps that contributed to the delay, but it's hard to know if it was an exception or the norm. What disappointed us most was that no apology was offered for the wait. We ultimately had to leave before finishing our meal, which is a real shame because the food itself had pleasantly surprised us. (We had a long drive ahead of us.) Interesting cuisine and more than reasonable prices, but the service was far too slow during our visit, which unfortunately spoiled the experience.

Excellent meal, very refined and plentiful. The only downside was the air conditioning. It was deafeningly noisy and very hot inside, forcing us to open the windows. The waiters could have been a bit more friendly. The chef was very pleasant and came to see us. Well done, sir, for the dishes, and you are very friendly. Please replace this air conditioning at all costs. What a shame.

A very warm welcome...Delicate, delicious cuisine...Very tasty! Minor drawbacks: stains on the wall at the back of the room next to our table, a small lamp on the table that doesn't work and also has marks. The waiter was a bit too familiar and pretentious...It's a shame to criticize young people graduating from culinary schools...

Outstanding meal Very tasty The dishes were beautifully presented The service was friendly and welcoming And on top of that, a lovely evening show from the terrace I highly recommend it

Fabulous food, the chef made some great vegetarian dishes for me , I really enjoyed it and would definitely go again!

The food was original but lacked flavor, there were cooking defects, and smiles and friendliness were nowhere to be seen.

We ate in the grill area, which is the outdoor terrace with a simpler menu, but we absolutely loved it! The terrace is perfectly situated by the river with a superb view, and everything was delicious and very generous at very reasonable prices! We ordered mussels and fries, which were excellent, and the portions were so large that we didn't have room for dessert, which was almost a shame because everything looked delicious on the tables next to us! And a huge thumbs up to our waiter, who was efficient and, above all, very kind and funny!

An exceptional restaurant that holds a very special place in my life. I've been coming here with my grandparents for many years. They even celebrated their wedding here, which makes this place even more precious to me. I've experienced countless happy moments here, with family and friends. Each visit brings back wonderful memories and makes me so happy to return. The owners are wonderful people, passionate about their work. Their welcome is warm, their professionalism remarkable, and the quality of their cuisine is simply excellent. The menu is varied, so there's something for everyone. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. It's not just a place to eat; it's a place filled with memories, emotions, and shared experiences, a place that's part of my story. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

We went for lunch on July 14th (a very hot day). The air conditioning wasn't working where we were seated. The service, staff, and food were all excellent. The only downside, which we felt was significant for this otherwise reputable restaurant, is that the chef assisting his staff wears a very dirty apron. It's fine to be in the kitchen, but not in front of the customers. Furthermore, given the heat that day, he had beads of sweat dripping down his face. That's simply unacceptable! Despite everything, the food was good.
