Les meilleurs restaurants

28/09/2026: Unfortunately, we won't have the chance to judge the food. I called to reserve a table for lunch late Sunday morning. The manager told me that lunchtime was fully booked but that we could come at 1 p.m., he would certainly have space and would do his best. We arrived at 1 p.m., and the same person told me to call back in fifteen minutes because there were still no tables available. We found this strange because there was at least one free table on the terrace and the dining room was empty. We waited nearby and called again 15 minutes later, but no one ever answered (I called six times). The most polite thing to do would have been to say no; I find this attitude disrespectful!

23/09/2026: Hike to Lac des Rousses. It's outside of the summer season, the restaurant has just opened at noon. The terrace is empty. We can't even enjoy a glass of white wine. Thanks to the owner.

13/10/2026: The place is clean, the staff are friendly, and the burgers are excellent and generous. It's a must-visit when I'm in Limoges.

27/08/2026: Very, very quiet. The atmosphere wasn't great. The burger was alright.

10/06/2026: Very comfortable rooms, excellent service, calm and relaxing setting

15/02/2026: We came based on word of mouth. The food was delicious, and the portions were perfect. The atmosphere was a little too noisy for us, probably due to a lack of soundproofing. The simple setting, a beautiful table in the center of the room, and a warm welcome completed this pleasant experience.

27/01/2026: A simple menu, good ingredients! The service was just a tad slow during lunch, but the interior was quite calm and therefore very pleasant. Special mention to the French toast, made with BONNIN brioche, absolutely divine 😋

03/10/2025: Sophie and Hélène continue to make this a landmark in St Jean d'Angely. Delicious food, excellent atmosphere, attentive service – it has it all!

03/02/2026: We had a problem with our Airbnb and found Lion d’Or close by and booked a room last minute. They were very kind and checked us in quickly even though we had booked literally 10 minutes before. The room was really clean and the beds comfortable. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

22/01/2026: Had a great stay. Staff was friendly and welcoming. The manager on duty the day we arrived was very nice and accommodating. Rooms are very clean and hotel felt very safe. I would definitely stay here again.

24/05/2026: (RESTAURANT) A huge disappointment. The evening had been planned for months. There were about 20 of us with a pre-arranged set menu. We booked for 7:00 PM and all arrived on time (the two latecomers arrived at 7:10 PM... not bad). The weather was magnificent, sunny, and we sadly discovered that our table had been awkwardly squeezed into the cellar, with BFM TV playing in the background (?) and no background music, nothing... We asked if we could be seated outside (both to get some fresh air and to make things easier for the staff), but it wasn't possible because "it's a table for tomorrow, so it's a no" (second time??). The staff was understaffed. We understand, we're patient, and above all, we don't blame them. An hour after our arrival, we still hadn't received an aperitif… it was a long time, sitting at a table in a cellar for an hour without even a carafe of water. The meal went a little better; the appetizers and main courses followed each other fairly well. But we felt neglected, having to go back and forth between the cellar and the dining room to ask to be served several times… in the end, 40 minutes after dessert, no one had offered us coffee or come to ask if we wanted to pay; no one seemed concerned about how things were going. We'll definitely remember the bad. 7:00 PM to 11:45 PM is really a very long time. A shame. What redeemed everything, because there were a few positive aspects: - the quality of the food: we can't say we ate badly; that would be a lie. Excellent cuisine. - The attitude of the extra waiter, there to help: he didn't let it get to him, did everything he could to make up for it, and even managed to smile despite the difficulties. He put in a tremendous effort, which was very kind. Thank you to him. Unfortunately, he disappeared mid-service, and the remaining staff weren't as pleasant. - The kitchen/dining room teamwork: the staff was struggling, we all know how that feels, but they didn't give up, and one of the cooks bravely stepped up to help out – much appreciated. We did everything we could to be pleasant; being in the business, we know the pressures of a busy schedule—it can be incredibly intense. We even cleared the plates ourselves and placed them on the side tables to make things easier for the servers (whom we unfortunately didn't see much of)... but relegating a table of 20 to the back of a cellar under the pretext that the next day's setup is already complete in weather like this, and consequently (of course) forgetting the customers who have to run back and forth to avoid being forgotten, is unacceptable, especially considering we booked the evening months in advance. Fortunately, we were in good company and still had a pleasant evening together. Unfortunately, the nonchalance of the person present at checkout and the lack of consideration (none of the "regular" staff even asked us how we were) mean we don't feel like leaving a good review.

19/05/2026: I only visited the restaurant; the home-style cooking was very affordable, and I will definitely go back.

06/07/2026: I wanted to thank you for the presentation of the cake; it was beautiful, delicious, and light. Congratulations to the pastry chef who made such beautiful cakes; it was magnificent! Thank you so much, I will definitely come back.

22/06/2026: Because you can't give zero stars! I've never eaten such a bad baguette, it was inedible!! And I ordered the chef's special. I won't be setting foot in this place again anytime soon; the service and quality are deplorable. This bakery, if you can even call it that, is one to avoid!

11/10/2025: The food was of very good quality and reasonably priced. However... we waited 30 minutes before being offered an aperitif. At the very least, a small vestibule at the door or simply some heating would have been welcome. The atmosphere was very noisy due to the decor.

20/08/2025: A pleasant surprise. Daily specials featuring fresh, seasonal produce. Set menu with a choice of three starters, main courses, and desserts. €23 (August 14, 2025)

17/04/2026: We were delighted with our stay at this hotel! The family room was spacious and very comfortable, dinner was excellent, and the staff were truly lovely. However, there are a few areas for improvement. The double room facing the street was quite small, as was the bathroom. Breakfast was good quality, but the selection was limited, and it was rather simple and small. We arrived around 8:45 a.m., which perhaps explains the lack of variety, but again, we were hoping for a little more. Despite these minor points, we have very fond memories of our stay.

11/04/2026: Definitely not recommended for us, especially not outside of season. Everything (95%) is closed. The room was just okay for the price. Breakfast was a bit meager. The restaurant was closed (at least for us). A shame for Saint Valery, but we'll never go back. We'd already experienced a disaster with the neighbors (booking paid in full, but no room reserved, nothing available, so we had to return home). It's a charming village otherwise, but only in season.

07/07/2026: I have a question: is the meat halal?

02/04/2026: Unfortunately closed and for sale

13/03/2026: The Relais Bleu is permanently closed following the sale of the establishment... what a shame, it was an excellent place...

07/07/2026: It's impossible to reach them despite several calls and voicemails on different days and times… and when you go there in person, it's almost as if you're bothering them. They bluntly tell you that without a reservation, it's not possible.

30/06/2026: It's a shame the interior isn't air-conditioned when it's 40 degrees Celsius, despite the generous shade under the trees.

16/01/2026: The food was truly awful. The knives served were full of sand (so they hadn't been washed), basically garbage. The lobster was lukewarm, as was its side dish, and the wait was incredibly long even though the restaurant was only three-quarters empty.

07/01/2026: Great restaurant. A warm welcome and excellent service. The waitresses and waitresses were lovely and patient despite our large group. The food was very good, and the ingredients were very fresh. I highly recommend it.
