Restaurant Du Relais de l'Abbaye sur Charlieu

29/04/2026: The only restaurant open on Wednesday evenings in Charlieu outside of the holidays! Luckily, it's good. A small terrace overlooking a little pedestrian street. Very pleasant. We had pan-fried prawns, a generous portion. They should provide a table warmer as they get cold quickly. A good, unpretentious place.

02/04/2026: In the heart of Charlieu, near the abbey, don't be put off by the unassuming storefront. The interior is pleasant and welcoming (with the option of an outdoor terrace at the back of the restaurant). Several set menus are available. We chose the "relaxed menu," and everything was truly delicious and generously portioned, from the appetizer to the dessert. The service was efficient and prompt. The restrooms were spacious and very clean (my bonus for the end, which sometimes spoils the experience... not here at all). I highly recommend it.
