Lunch here with Cath and Doug. We all had lamb meatballs for our mail. Nice desserts. Think the four courses must be €12 or €12.50 now since each couple was €27.60 including tea and coffee. Not great dining, but good value for money.

(We've eating here at least once in 2016, but don't know the date.)

After a visit to the cave, including a calèche trip to the vineyards, four of us sat on the terrace and lunched here again. Still €11 for a meal including the salad bar, choice of main, cheese, dessert, and a liter of wine between us. Not great, but not bad. A pretty good value for the money.

A group of eight lunched here after visiting the cave at St Sornin. The daily menu (menus ouvriers, for workers) includes a well-stocked salad bar, a large choice of main courses, dessert, and coffee, all for €11. The salad bar was great, the mains were so-so (although the steak-frites looked pretty good). Two of us had slices of ham topped with a sauce provençale, which tasted too much like Chef Boyardee for my taste.

Nothing special, but we'd consider going back if we needed to eat in the area.

Lunched here today before going to the opera. Quite nice. We both had the terrine de campagne to start. Ed had a chunk of rumsteak cooked to his liking (too done for me). I had scallops à la Braise; not sure exactly what that means. They seem to have been cooked over fire, with a little liquid (beef stock perhaps?). Very tasty. Ed thought his crème caramel was so-so. My poire belle Hélène was very good, although I would have liked a fork to hold it down with while I spooned a bite. (Someone next to us had the cheese trolley. That looks like worth a go, but need to plan the meal for that.)

This was another Groupon meal; in this case, they had a special Groupon menu, a lovely soup, boeuf bourguignon, dessert. It's a beefy place, complete with stuffed cow in the dining room, but the food and service were good. We wouldn't  make a special trip to eat here again, but would if it were handy to whatever we were doing.
