La Pierre Lys Hotel Restaurant

We've been passing this hotel/restaurant for years and wondering what it was like and yesterday decided to try Sunday lunch there. As a fan of decor I was slightly disappointed that the dining room has had a makeover at some point, but I'm sure...no one else would find that an issue . . . It's a lovely place in all ways: welcoming and professional staff I think possibly of the same family who own the place? perfect service (just right, polite but friendly, not rushed) loved the French music playing, proper cutlery, white table cloths, and the fact that there was a choice of just two menus i.e, fresh food and nothing lurking in a freezer out the back. Another nice touch was the wine. I only wanted a glass but the waitress opened a bottle of very good Piquemal' rosé for me with as much ceremony as if we were going to indulge in the whole bottle. So, to the food. Wonderful. Big salad starter with nice dressing and interesting combination of vegetables not fussy but tasty; lovely magret de canard with mushroom sauce, stuffed courgette and potato cakes', cheese and followed by huge vanilla ice-cream with hot choc sauce. The price was very reasonable for Sunday lunch and judging by the joyous large party on the table behind our, others were feeling they had made a good choice too.

We have dined at this restaurant many times, the last occasion in September We are never disappointed by the food, Madame always makes us welcome even offering us a free aperitif on occasions. Yes the decor is a little dated, but the whole...experience is atmospheric. I have read some of the other reviews of the Pierre Lys and found them to be most unfair. Restaurants in France don't begin serving until so a previous comment about arriving at is the fault of the customer!

Has been in the same family for many years, father and son, unfortunately the menu has never had a complete change in the many years that we have visited, to be honest because of this we have not visited for several years. It's a very...easy hotel/restaurant to find on the main Street entering the town near the rugby stadium plenty of parking.

Surprised my first and only experience here as a local was not good. The service was not hospitable,the food was well over priced and totally dated, it reminded me of the sketch from Julia Walters where she was waiting on tables ! I had heard good reports regarding this restaurant however my experience was not !

Had a recent very good lunch. Breaded veal cutlet, steak au poivre with excellent sauce, salade nicoise, and a creme brule type dessert and cheese plate (she brings over a selection and you take as you wish). Nice bottle of local vin blanc. Total for 4 was 73 euros. Great service and atmosphere.
