La Digue Restaurant is perfectly situated, slotted in between the Maine river of the Vendée (a Loire tributary famous for the wines Muscadet de Sevre et Maine) and the enormous medieval ramparts of the ancient city of Montaigu. In late September 2016 the Vendée and the Maine had been affected by three months of almost total drought, after extremely wet months of May and June, so for our visit the river was quite low and scarcely flowing over the low weir, but still quite healthy with fish dappling the surface and ducks swimming around foraging. Kayakers were launching their canoes. The Road outside is one way, with ample free parking along the verges.The restaurant was quite busy when we turned up for lunch just before 1300 hours on a Thursday without a reservation. Apart from the diners on the terrace there were groups of guests by the river enjoying the warm sunshine, gentle breeze and their drinks. Somewhat apprehensively we asked for a table, and were immediately welcomed by the Patron, Olivier. This is a Family business, and after kissing my wife on both cheeks he showed us to a nice table on the Terasse. We were presented with a large "chalk board" of specials, as well as a proper menu each of several pages. These included a page of Aperitifs and Digestifs as well as Sparkling Waters, but the wine list seemed to be according to availability and negotiation. We had an hour to drive home and wished to visit a vineyard after lunch as well as explore the ramparts and the modern city, so we shared half a litre of Pellegrino and half a litre of Chenin one of our favourite white grapes. It did turn out to be 14% but excellent, bottled by Pascal Cailleau of St Lambert du Lattay, south west of nearby Angers. Olivier's brother is the chef and his son Francois was our waiter, aided by his sister. Francois spoke much better English than we speak French, but all the other guests were French. The cuisine here is decidely French. My wife started with Oeuf Cocotte à la joue de Boeuf (Cow cheeks with egg), I chose Salade de Gésiers de Canard Maison (Salad with Ducks' gizzards). Both starters were excellent.We both chose the Filet de Julienne beurre blanc (filet of Ling with white butter and vegetables). We were warned to look out for bones and each extracted about 3 or 4 small ones without swallowing any. The fish is very white and without the excellent sauce would be relatively tasteless. The vegetables enhanced the dish. We both finished with Salade de Fruits. Presentation and service were excellent throughout and the total bill €62.50.
This is a lovely little restaurant down by the river, right under the walls of the château. It has a varied menu that should suit all tastes. The quality of the food is outstanding and the portion size should suit even the most hungry, the staff are very pleasant and the service is good. Even though it is a 45 minute drive from my home, I will be returning again soon, not the cheapest, but excellent value for money at lunchtime, I must try it in the evening, if you are in the are, don't miss this gem.
First time in a while since I've been to La Digue. I was pleased last time I went but today the weather made the whole experience even better. The location (once you've made the steep descent to the riverside) is idyllic. Foregoing the days selection on the ardoise I chose the fois gras entrée and the the Merlu fish option. Both courses were of generous portions and the local Mareuil wine was fine and fruity.
We visited this restaurant after picking up a friend from Nantes airport. There was a friendly greeting from the owner & son when we arrived. The food choice was varied & we tried a selection of starters & main courses with a recommended bottle of wine. The restaurant is situated next to the river Maine - very picturesque with ducks & waterlilies. A very enjoyable lunch!!
