L'Embellie sur Sainte-Cecile

Drawn in by their Bib Gourmand, we didn't hesitate to make the half-hour drive from Viré, crossing the magnificent Burgundy hills and passing through patches of fog. From the moment we arrived at the restaurant, we knew we'd made the right choice. The welcome was very pleasant, the dining room understated and tastefully decorated (it was just a few weeks before Christmas). After perusing the menus, we decided to try their tasting menu. And what a wonderful choice we were! The dishes arrived at the perfect pace, neither too fast nor too slow. The presentation was exquisite, the flavors perfectly balanced, and the portions were generous. The service was impeccable. Midway through the meal, we were treated to a "trou normand," a sorbet and verbena liqueur. This digestive interlude, increasingly rare in fine dining restaurants, proved to be a welcome respite. We finished the meal just as delighted as we were at the beginning, even feeling we'd almost eaten "too much." After paying, we chatted at length with the chef and his wife (who was in the dining room), and their passion was palpable. Being the last to arrive, we were even given a brief tour of their kitchen. We have only one thing to say: thank you, Chef, thank you, madam, for giving us such pleasure. The value for money is exceptional, and we will certainly return on our next trip to Burgundy. A must-try.

We visited this restaurant on Sunday, December 28th, and chose the €38 set menu. We thoroughly enjoyed the various dishes we selected. Furthermore, the dining room is very pleasant and has a lovely, warm atmosphere (thanks to the fireplace). Not to mention the warm and genuine welcome and the attentive, relaxed, yet efficient service. We will gladly return to L'Embellie.

We arrived at a charming restaurant and were greeted by an extremely kind and attentive head waiter. We chose the tasting menu, which was a delight, with beautifully presented and exquisitely refined dishes. We highly recommend it and will gladly return to L'Embellie.

Perfect. Quality and simplicity. Impeccable.

A neat and welcoming setting with attentive staff. The food is excellent, as are the wines. This first visit will certainly not be the last. Excellent value for money.

Wonderful moment, delicious meal

Hello, I'm not one for posting reviews, but this time I was invited to celebrate my 30th birthday at this charming restaurant, and I had the opportunity to sample the tasting menu. It was a most enjoyable experience, punctuated by numerous culinary discoveries, each one more delicious than the last! The service, provided by a young man and the owner, was impeccable. You feel welcome and, above all, never rushed. I will definitely return! See you soon. Antoine Raspail

We had lunch a few days ago at L'Embellie. The food was perfect and the waiters were excellent. Welcome... Accompanied by a 92-year-old with very limited mobility, and knowing the place, I very politely asked to go through the small gate near the dining room, which was done, but with the comment, "We didn't spend 20,000 euros on a parking lot for nothing." At first, the same request, the same response. We were very shocked by this anti-commercial comment.

Fantastic place. Excellent food and very high-quality, friendly, and no-nonsense service. A real pleasure. We had a great time, thank you very much.
