We ate our first wonderful meal here when we visited Le Mans and still not sure if it was the excellent food, the attentive service or the little ''free'' added extras that made us decide we were truly in fine dining paradise. Everything I ordered was delicious from the complimentary pate at the start of the meal to the mouth... More

Currently sitting at a table outside after experiencing a divine meal. My better half had a tuna and salmon mousse to start, and I had goats cheese. Yum yum!! Main courses were skewered beef and haddock. All presented perfectly and we were made to feel very welcome from start to finish. The chefs home made ducks liver pâté was to... More

We went to this restaurant during the Drivers Parade during the 24 hours of Le Mans. The proprietor was present and greeted us herself. The food was very good. It was a blend of French country and haute Cuisine. I would recommend this restaurant. The value was VERY good for the quality of the food and service.

The restaurant has a number of rooms so although it can hold lots of diners it feels small and cosy. Food was excellent and all that I had hoped for from French cuisine. Menus in english and... More

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

This restaurant was recommended by the receptionist of our hotel on the first night of 2 week tour of France. Tucked away on 12 Rue de Vielle Porte, Le Mans in the really pretty old part of the town. We made our way on a cool September evening quite late on and were concerned we may not get a seat.... More
