This is a very popular Auberge mostly used by locals. There is a lunch menu you can order from or you can do what we did which was have the 'menu of the day.' This is 5 courses for €11. For that you get a home made pate starter, a salad, main course (chicken

The kitchen is good. the fast service and the correct rates. attention to the tasks of grapes outside.

In the middle of the poitevin marsh, it was nice to find by chance this shaded place at the foot of a barge and abbey. the chief of rank, in this case, a chief, has a huge merit, that of dealing with demand efficiently. the place is indeed frequented by a rather old clientele who of course wants to eat at noon even if it has not booked!

Moreover, the effluves of the "creved fish" regularly come to scent our table.I looked beautifully, I do not find the reason and because of the well being of the customers, I signal it.I am told that we can not do otherwise because the sceptical pit is under the terrace and after the few showers, there are hints as soon as it is a little hot. Then we had a drink there in the evening before we went back to the road. we could sit under the tone.The service was smashed.. we could have left without paying because nobody cared about us.

Very good value quality price. well located near the abbey of Mayllezais, the terrace is well shaded and quiet. generous kitchen although a little rich. beautiful place to recover after a walk in the Poitevin marsh.
