Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Loiret

02/11/2025: As of late 2025, this restaurant, open only for lunch, is simply incredible. The couple who run this establishment are warmly welcoming and very energetic. The waitstaff are equally efficient, with precise and skillful movements, and are always polite and attentive. The unseen kitchen staff are just as diligent, as not a single insult escapes from this place where work and atmosphere seem perfectly harmonious. The food, in terms of quality, is excellent, and the portions are generous. It mainly consists of a starter buffet and daily specials in limited quantities to ensure freshness. As for the ambiance, it's closer to a working-class restaurant than a fine-dining establishment, although the quality of the ingredients makes one wonder. Many different groups of people from various professions come here for lunch, which creates a pleasantly moderate hubbub. Like the owners, the clientele is friendly, which sometimes leads to open conversations with other tables. Regarding prices, you can honestly expect to be satisfied for €20, including a small aperitif, the starter buffet, a main course, and coffee, for example. There are several adjoining rooms, including one that opens onto a semi-covered outdoor area. The parking lot at the rear of the building is quite large, but given the capacity of the rooms, I recommend carpooling. Don't hesitate to reserve a table by phone; your call will be answered even during peak hours. I wish you all a pleasant and convivial lunch break.

19/03/2026: Thank you to Leelou for her service, kindness, professionalism, and smile; it allowed us to have a wonderful time as a family. Absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much!

19/03/2026: Our waitress (Lilou) was very friendly and helpful. We had a very pleasant time! Thank you for this lovely moment!

04/02/2026: A cozy place where you feel right at home. A very warm welcome; despite the crowd, they found us a table. Arriving at 1:30 pm on a Saturday, the daily special was no longer available, but the andouillette sausage and homemade fries were delicious… We'll come earlier next time! 😂

02/02/2026: The welcome was fantastic! We went up a flight of stairs (I was relieved, I hadn't come to the wrong restaurant 😂) and there it was: soft lighting, a cozy room, delicious food, and a waitress/owner with a contagious smile! My friends and I stayed for 45 minutes after coffee without ever feeling like we were intruding. It's simple, we felt right at home!

09/03/2026: A wonderful discovery just minutes from the center of Orleans. The perfect restaurant for a Sunday lunch with the family (we were with two children). The dishes were very simple yet delicious, expertly prepared and beautifully presented, using high-quality ingredients. The cherry dessert was original and indulgent. A perfect balance, for a gentle and easy meal 😊 Impeccable service. We can't wait to come back this summer to enjoy the terrace!

24/02/2026: Pleasant setting. Delicious food.

21/02/2026: A very pleasant time spent in a lovely setting. Excellent, friendly, and attentive service. Highly recommended.

20/02/2026: Smartbox Lovely spot overlooking the golf course, sunny today!!! Starter, main course, dessert and a glass of wine we ate well, friendly waiters, we had a lovely time, thank you.

31/01/2026: A very pleasant neighborhood restaurant, both for its home-style cooking and its new owners. We will gladly return.

25/11/2025: We discovered the change of ownership during our visit. The decor is more modern, understated, and bright, while still retaining the feel of a neighborhood restaurant. The food is similar to what it used to be—traditional, home-style cooking—so it's perfect for us. We'll gladly return.

26/02/2026: A table was reserved for Valentine's Day with a choice of two complete and very high-quality menus. The atmosphere was perfect, with tables of two spread throughout the room, soft lighting, and gentle music. The staff was welcoming.

14/02/2026: Disappointing for a Sunday, limited selection of products, no pizzas. The dining room needs improvement in terms of soundproofing.

07/02/2026: A delicious meal, good quality ingredients, impeccable service

29/01/2026: We had dinner there one evening; the dishes were beautifully presented with high-quality ingredients. We ate very well for the price. The only downside was the service, which was a bit slow considering the number of diners. We recommend it.

05/03/2026: We've been coming to Courte Paille Saint Jean de Braye for almost 10 years and the welcome is always so warm. We're never disappointed by the food. The friendly staff always makes us want to come back. 😊

01/03/2026: New Year's Eve at this Courtepaille was fantastic, the staff and atmosphere were top-notch... It was a lovely touch to be greeted with a Happy New Year by all the staff. Well done!

17/12/2025: We came specifically for the macarons, which we'd heard great things about. And our friends were right. It's very peaceful and has a lovely view. The person who greeted and served us was very pleasant.

22/09/2025: Great, I go there every year during my holidays so I recommend it.

15/02/2026: For the first time, we were able to find a restaurant offering a decent selection for a Valentine's Day menu (so rare on that day!), despite a problem with a very tough piece of veal... which was quickly resolved. Everything from the appetizer to the dessert was excellent, and the service was very pleasant. We will be back.

21/12/2025: We went there somewhat randomly, and it was a pleasant surprise. Note regarding reservations: it's best to use the phone rather than the website (due to technical issues).

17/03/2026: It's absolutely delicious and I love the bar's atmosphere; I 100% recommend it. A special shout-out to the staff who are very attentive.

17/03/2026: As a regular customer, I wouldn't change it for the world. 👍🏻 From the service to the atmosphere and the quality of the food, it's simply impeccable. Not to mention the prices, where 5 stars isn't enough! Kudos to the team and the owners, and see you at lunchtime. 😉

13/03/2026: A brasserie atmosphere, a brasserie setting, good lunches, and as soon as there's a ray of sunshine you can enjoy the terrace, all at a reasonable price.

11/03/2026: The food was excellent, I highly recommend it :)

24/02/2026: A place where my friend and I regularly come for lunch. Varied and different cuisine every day. Very pleasant staff. A rare find.

22/02/2026: Great food, friendly staff, close to many overnight hotels

18/01/2026: Long waits during the week, 40 minutes for a plate of pâté and a Montbéliard salad; some people left without having dessert. A victim of their own success in terms of both the quality and price of the food, I suppose. Otherwise, the staff were friendly and the food was good quality.

22/11/2025: Fantastic brasserie! Top-notch welcome! Perfect service 👍 Typical brasserie atmosphere… Beaujolais Nouveau, daily specials, and conversations with the next table! The owner is present and genuinely cares about offering a good, homemade, and affordable meal! Nothing to complain about except one thing: remember to book!
