Le Samovar sur Villedieu-Les-Poeles

30/09/2026: This summer we ate there regularly (on Tuesdays throughout the summer), with various friends, who, like us, were delighted by the menus, the excellent food, and the kindness and hospitality of the couple who own the restaurant. Yesterday was my birthday, and we went back for a romantic dinner. The owner wasn't there, but to my surprise, a little note was waiting for me: "Sorry I couldn't be there this evening, but I wish you a happy birthday." So kind! And of course, I received the small cake with the candle brought by the chef and the waiter. We had a wonderful time, and our taste buds, as usual, were delighted. I should add that this new waiter is just like the restaurateurs: very friendly and smiling. We highly recommend this excellent restaurant!

13/09/2026: Booking without knowing it was open over the weekend was such a wonderful discovery! It's not very big, about 25 seats I'd say, but the cuisine is refined with beautiful combinations, superb presentation, and a friendly waiter—all at a very reasonable price. It's a real treat. You can see the owner, who is also the chef, is passionate about his work, and it shows. Thank you for a lovely evening at your restaurant.
