This "restaurant" was recommend and reserved for us by our hostess at the Chateau we were staying at. It was a Monday night, which might have been a contributing factor, but in saying that, as France seems to close on Mondays, I would have expected more diners. There were only 2 people there when we arrived, locals, and we were the only other ones there. The cafe (that is the only name I can give it) had a menu of the day for € 12, and an a la carte menu on a blackboard. The "chef" came to explain what the menu was, and proceeded to tell us that most of it was actually not available. There was a choice of 2 starters (farmer style pate and marine pearl salad with trout eggs), one main course (Osso Buco with carrots 2 styles) and 3 desserts (one of which was off the menu). The a la carte menu had 6 items on it, 5 of which were not available. Considering that nothing else was open, or even nearby, we decided to stay (overdressed, as we were told it was a restaurant, not a village cafe) and have the menu. The food came out quickly (too quickly) and was at the most edible, but overcooked, and not that tasty. The desserts were as usual in these places mass produced pre-packed, and actually the tastiest thing of the meal. No atmosphere at all, big TV's on the wall showing the news, and the chef seemed a bit peeved when we did not eat all the food (which would have been understandable had it been a Michelin starred restaurant, which it definitely was not). Can not recommend.
