The atmosphere is warm and the service is friendly, quick, and attentive. You feel comfortable from beginning to end. During our week-long stay, we (two couples) returned three times because we were so satisfied. An excellent place to recommend without hesitation!

25/08/2026: A beautifully decorated room, much to my surprise. The dishes were expertly prepared. My 80th birthday cake was a real hit. The staff were incredibly attentive and the price very reasonable. I'm waiting a little longer to book for my... 90th birthday, perhaps. Thank you again for your professionalism.

22/08/2026: Excellent restaurant in a superb setting, with sophisticated cuisine and superb service. I highly recommend this restaurant.

21/08/2026: Family lunch at a restaurant... It had been a long time since I'd eaten so well. Everything was perfect! The cocktails are original and showcase local products beautifully... And above all, they're delicious! The kind of drink you can easily switch from one to the next. For the starter, it was hard to choose because everything tempted me, but I settled on the smoked mackerel with tomato and chorizo ​​focaccia, and... mustard ice cream! All the flavors were perfectly balanced, despite the mackerel being quite strong. I loved it. Then I stayed with fish, ordering the stuffed hake with its equally robust, briny broth. The roasted peaches, green beans, and mushrooms balanced everything perfectly. The wine pairings were also excellent. We trusted Karine's recommendations, and I wholeheartedly agree. And finally, the centerpiece... Dessert! I had the fig variation, and wow, it was absolutely sublime. The smooth, lightly sweetened fig ice cream pairs perfectly with the fresh and roasted figs, as well as the sweeter little cakes, making for a truly indulgent dessert without ever being too much. A fabulous lunch. Highly recommended.

06/09/2026: Very welcoming staff, excellent service and food. I highly recommend this establishment. I'll definitely return if I'm ever back in this charming town. 👍

03/09/2026: Super delicious fresh dishes. The lamb is definitely recommended. Always new dishes. Definitely worth a try 👍

21/08/2026: Found by chance and a very pleasant surprise! We hadn't booked and we were so lucky! The starters, main courses, and desserts were surprising and very tasty, all homemade, and the wines suggested for our dishes were perfectly paired. We had a wonderful time, received a very warm welcome, and the service was top-notch. Go there, but definitely book in advance! Thank you to the chef and his team for this delightful culinary experience.

21/08/2026: What a lovely restaurant. Family of three with two vegetarians and here there were superb options for all of us. The atmosphere is cosy and service top-notch. We dined in the evening and reserved online the night before. We all loved it. Highly recommended.

14/07/2026: Excellent food and very friendly service

19/08/2026: Very good dishes to share, flawless from start to finish.

18/08/2026: Very poor service. We arrived: no tables available. I waited outside the restaurant, and the first table that became available was given to someone who arrived later.

26/08/2026: A wonderful discovery. Refined yet unpretentious cuisine, a beautiful dining room, friendly service – a truly delightful experience for two. We will gladly return.

25/08/2026: We regularly visit le Cottage on our travels in France. It is a top restaurant, the service is precise and the staff very knowledgeable about each dish. The menus are very well crafted with excellent textures and flavours. Unusually I went vegetarian this time. The ripe tomatoes deserved to star in the starter whilst the Moroccan tagine of egg plant, nuts, fruit and veg was one of the best. The cheesecake rounded off a delightful meal. Why hasn’t Doug and his team been recognised by Michelin? They deserve it.

20/08/2026: Delicious crepes. Very pleasant place and very attentive staff. Highly recommended.

19/08/2026: We were very well received, the crepes were very good, nothing to complain about.

23/07/2026: A sure bet! We had a wonderful time at this restaurant, which we know well. The welcome was warm, the service impeccable, and the food delicious. We also made a delightful discovery with this flavorful Beaujolais Blanc… thank you!
