Bernard Gautier - Châtellerault

We were surprised by the qualite of the meal, the amuses mouth the mignardises with the coffee and all for 16 euros flat entrance or 18 euros flat dessert .....

Very disappointing restaurant: the kitchen and the decor date from the 1970s ... it's good, but old, and expensive.

From the doorway, we find "the restaurant" as we loved it at the time of Sunday's lunches at the "replacement" of the village. everything is in place, the welcome and his daily abates, the boss and his discreet hello. the accompaniment to the table by the rank leader, a great professionalism throughout the service, felt is the atmosphere but the decors lend themselves to it. an expo of good taste allows to feast the eye of paintings as much as the dishes that are served us. business, families, love this place is all indicated. ratio quality price nothing to say, the chief justifies his invoice.

I've dinered many times in this restaurant as well as the woods .a solid reference a foie gras has finally taken away a real chef's cuisine.

I've eaten here three times and although it's undeniably a quality restaurant, I fail to see why people like it as much as they do; I really don't like the dining room, it seems dingy and lacks atmosphere. I always feel like I'm gatecrashing someone's home when arriving, weird vibe, not negative just odd. The salmon tartare is a dish that seems very popular but for me it's busy and has too many capers and too much mayo. The steak I had was all dressed up with fois gras and other unnecessary accompaniments that detract from what a steak is supposed to be. In fact all the meals I've had here were fussy and didn't really know what they wanted to be; too many ingredients all vying for your pallet although all cooked and presented very well. Service passes the test and they have a great wine list but it's not my kind of place.
