L'Ecailler sur Cholet

05/03/2026: Passing through Cholet, we were looking for a nice place for lunch and after a bit of searching, we stumbled upon La Tarterie de l'Orangerie near the town center. It's a lovely spot where we had a great meal and enjoyed the menu. We opted for a €15-16 set menu with a starter, a savory main course, and a dessert, as well as a savory waffle dish for €15, a sugar waffle and a cappuccino for €6.50, and a kombucha for €4, all for around €40, which is good value for money as everything was tasty and quite generous. The butternut, chestnut, and mushroom tart was delicious and served piping hot. The Paul savory waffle with salmon was very good, but I would have liked more avocado and grapefruit toppings as they were barely noticeable, being just tiny pieces. It's a shame about that, but it's the only minor drawback, and one that the chef could easily improve. The dishes were served with a dressed green salad, and the desserts were good (waffle and French toast with salted caramel). Perhaps a little more whipped cream would have been nice to garnish the dessert plates, which seemed a bit plain, as were the drinks, which were very good. The service took a little while to get going with the two waiters, but after that, the wait for the food wasn't long at all. And both waiters were pleasant, smiling, and friendly. The restaurant is very attractive, beautifully decorated, and has a comfortable atmosphere. It's also impeccably clean, both the dining room and the restrooms. A lovely place to recommend in downtown Cholet, where this type of restaurant doesn't seem to be very common. Well done! Keep up the good work!
