L'ecole - Menú

My absolute favourite place in France : beautiful staff, amazing food. Very family friendly, the staff couldn’t be more accommodating. Two visitors in two nights. Sad to be going home

Peace and love could be the motto of this place, and its management (relatively new as they took over last year). Relaxed friendly atmosphere, flexible service as we arrived at the time they were supposed to close, and in what they serve (main sides were not available but I was offered a good choice of what else they could offer). Maybe more expensive than the average in the area.

New management since our last visit. Really good and reasonable. There are two gentlemen and a lady who have moved from Corsica bringing their Mediterranean twist to local produce. They are proud of their varied menu can cooking. Very nice people. We look forward to visiting again next year. PS look out for their 20 year old cat which scoops water into its mouth using its paw. Wry funny to watch as you enjoy your food. Pps they don't take credit cards.

We were told about this restaurant by a customer in Le Clin d'Oeuil Bar in Cherval after we were let down by Bistrot de L'Atelier (see my other reviews). Petrouchka (bar owner) phoned ahead and made a last minute booking for us. On arrival we were greeted by the French owner speaking perfect English. He explained the varied menu and the meals chosen were very tasty and in generous portions. After the meal he pulled up a chair and chatted for a while before leaving us with a decanter of Cognac on the table; not added to the bill. As I don't drink brandy and my wife was driving we did not take advantage. According to the guy who recommended the restaurant, the chat and cognac happen regularly....

We’re were the very first customers when Sandrine, Tomas and François took over this esoteric restaurant. Every year we return, it’s been like coming home to great food, wonderful views and an ambiance you’ll struggle to match in the entire region. Sitting recently outside in the gardens, enjoying a pre-dinner cocktail, it’s been the absolute remedy to self isolation. And, exploiting the downtime that COVID-19 brought around, they’ve developed their own vegetable garden with amazing success – 12 types of tomatoes, onions courgettes red peppers chilli peppers artichokes to name but a few of their huge range of veg- these all now feature in the local produce menu. And with Jimmy playing covers...

We visited l'ecole twice as it had come highly recommended. The first time for a snack lunch, the sun was shining and we spent some time lounging in the back garden with a glass of rose. On that occasion we had the Perigord salad and some very excellent prawns, just perfect. The owners were chatty and friendly but not intrusive. We returned for Sunday lunch and the weather had taken a turn for the worse so the food was served indoors. We were offered our table or a seat by the fire to peruse the menu, we chose the fire. It was eventually decided we would have the beef which Madame cooked for us in the oven and served as requested rare, her own ratatouille was served cold which brought out th...

We were travelling south and stopped at Blanzaquet St Cybard, which doesn 't have a lot of restaurants or night life, so we looked up good hotels on Tripadviser which came up with this little gem. I have to say it was one of our best evenings on our three week trip. It takes a little bit of finding, but is well worth the effort. What really makes the evening is the atmosphere. The food is wonderful of course, but it was the way we were greeted like , well like family ! Drinks arrived after a bit of discussion about the music that was playing blues rock....not intrusive), my wife was then invited outside to the back garden to view the spectacular sunset, more drinks and a meal that was cooked...

Well, this was a great surprise, we were directed to a good place for lunch, just a few kilo meters from La Lunaire, all set on the GPS only 19 km later we arrive an at ordinary house that looked closed up… so we retrace our route getting more Rural by the km, nothing looks familiar, time was getting on..2pm, then my partner sees a sign Vendoire, this must be the right direction..then 3 kms down a pretty lane we see and old school house with the last of their diners leaving..We ask is there a chance for lunch..they look at us ..then yes come into the garden ..then the magic started..they were playing cumbian music and had the the kindest faces with great smiles. I ordered a greek salad, it w...
