L'Imaginarium - Limoges

Stumbled across this by Chance, traditional French Bistro full of locals with a plate de Jour at 8.80 a bargain and all done in around an hour...longer if you want. Recommended

Ok if you tell a French person that you have a holiday home not far from Limoges,Which is south central France they think you are bit strange, doesn't every one (if English)go to the Dordogne or to the South, Cannes, Nice E.T.C. well if you are in Limoges and thus evidently strange I reccomend having lunch in this small cafe and then crossing the road to visit the Cathedral or given my interest in the second world war,why not check out the new resistance museum (which is also 100M just opposite the cafe,more on that in my next review).The food in this Cafe is great, very French and very good, get there on the dot of 12 or you will struggle to beat the locals to a table.We always have the plat de jour which varies, last time it was chicken in a choice of wine or leek sauce followed by crem caramel or cheese. The food is delicious the atmosphere is warm and genuine, even the waitress spoke perfect English I had to ask where she picked up such a good accent and felt a bit of a turnip when it turns out she was English. I'm sure she thought I was flirting but I'm old enough to be her dads dad, here's the best thing of all it cost less then €15 per head.

Very good on the whole. We had a lunchtime meal of the day with chicken,rice and in the waitresses words "mushy carrots" The meal was nice in a lovely lunchtime atmosphere but I did expect a little more given the reviews. Perhaps it was just the the fairly plain dish of the day on offer; however it was reasonably priced.Perhaps unfair to judge this place without sampling an evening meal. I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but was looking for more. My wife would have given a harsher review than me and felt it was slightly overated. Then again she is hard to please!

Went here on the recommendation of friends in the Limousin region. We weren't disappointed! A delicious Salade de la Semaine and very reasonably priced. Plat de Jour looked very appetising, as did many of the other dishes being chosen around us. Excellent desserts, followed by coffee, rounded off a very enjoyable experience and one we intend repeating next time we are in Limoges.

Hi guys, popped in for evening meal , I had the mixed steak and duck, with plenty of chip, tons of pepper sauce. Da wife had the house special , three types of toast with filling, beef and mushrooms , cheese and chicken. Service was excellent . All in all, top meal, all done in an hour!
