16/01/2026: La Farandouille bistro evokes fond memories of comforting, home-style cooking with a unique flavor. True to its name, La Farandouille is indeed a bistro, with its exposed beams, wooden tables, and checkered tablecloths. No clichés here: the place has its own distinct character. You're immediately transported to a world of generous meals shared with friends or family. After a warm welcome, you discover the cuisine. And what a delight! La Farandouille boasts the "Homemade" label, and it shows in every dish. Drawing on bistro classics, the menu offers duck and pork parmentier, roast veal, duck breast, pollack, and andouillette sausage, all served with a smile, sometimes by the chef himself, who shares his enthusiasm with you. Generous and, above all, bursting with flavor, La Farandouille's cuisine comforts us and reminds us of the regional dishes of our grandparents. Moreover, the restaurant truly showcases local produce, featuring products from the Vendée and Brittany regions, as well as cheeses from Beillevaire, a local institution with a global reputation. Presentations vary from simple to visually stunning. (See photos from other reviews that reflect a previous experience). The enjoyment extends to the prices: a set lunch menu (starter/main/dessert) for €16 is unbeatable in terms of value. Set menus are also available for €23 and €29. A glass of wine is offered between €2.90 and €5.90, with a simple yet varied selection of regional wines. The quality of the food, the service, and the prices confirm what you might already suspect: La Farandouille is a local institution. Reservations are recommended if you are dining in a group. This is one of those places where you have to stop to immerse yourself in a culture that we tend to miss on a daily basis, but above all, simply to enjoy yourself.

20/12/2025: I loved the atmosphere and the food.

14/11/2025: I received a very warm welcome, the food was excellent, I highly recommend it. There's a small buffet of starters, several main courses to choose from, and homemade desserts. A very, very good place to eat in the area. Thank you!

18/10/2025: Fresh, tasty, hearty dishes...in short, very generous cuisine that does you good!

13/10/2025: I came in more out of necessity than choice. The welcome was warm and friendly, the dishes were good and generous, but how can you serve cold mussels? Was this dish forgotten? Was it thawed? I can't explain. It's labeled "home cooking." That makes me doubt it. €80 for two for lunch is expensive... Could do much better. After reading your reply, I'll add this. Making me look like an idiot isn't the point; you don't know who you're talking to. I'm in the business, and you sent cold mussels. I stand by what I said. I didn't let them cool.

28/01/2026: The owner is very friendly, the kitchen is clean, and the food is delicious. I recommend it.
