LES JARDINS DU LAVOIR sur Les Herbiers

30/12/2025: A wonderful discovery! We hesitated between this and a nearby restaurant with better Google reviews, but ultimately, given the holiday season, we opted for a more budget-friendly choice, and we're so glad we did! The menu is simple and effective, but the daily specials are stunning. It's been a very long time since I've enjoyed a meal so much! From the cooking to the side dishes and the herbs, everything was expertly prepared—a true testament to the artistry and love of the plate. Not content with being captivated by the main course, I indulged in a dessert that seemed quite daring… A perfect blend of lightness and indulgence, with just a hint of Christmas spices, it was simply divine! I was blown away! Thank you, Chef, and I mustn't forget the service, which was on par with the food. We were unfortunately only passing through, but thank you for sharing this experience.

Coming from the Gers region, I tried the foie gras, which was absolutely sublime. Carefully cooked in a terrine. Classic dishes, expertly prepared. Perhaps a little less impressive was the octopus with a wing cream sauce and vegetables... a pure delight.
