L'Ecluse 52 - Castets-en-Dorthe

Today for lunch in this restaurant we have often passed by as we have in this area holiday. now, we were not disappointed personal superb eating just brilliant and so was the wein. no need to waggle over this restaurant book it and. they will see what I mean. 5 stars for all .

This is a great restaurant in a lovely location by a lock. We were a 30 minute walk along the very beautiful canal from our gite. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and the food was very good.Although the menu was relatively small...it had good local dishes and good value set menus. The owner loves his job and his restaurant and mingles between tables whilst serving. It’s got lots of seating but it’s worth booking ahead. We went 3 times, once a Sunday lunchtime that was very busy, this was the end of June so high season I can see it being a must to book ahead. The staff however coped exceptionally well, and we did not have to wait any longer than normal to be served all our courses. The duck was cooked to perfection, the foie gras was excellent. Tasted even better with a complimentary glass of the Sauternes from the owner. Prices are very reasonable and all in all a very nice experience........ times 3.

Very good food in this little village. Its always full, and there is good reason for it. Not cheap, just very good food for a reasonable price.

We went as a party of six, one evening in April. We were warmly welcomed and seated at a round table, which was great for the party to chat. Most of us chose the Eur38 set menu, with Foie Gras, Duck, Cheese and dessert. Others...had the Entrecôte. No one was disappointed. The food was plentiful and tasty. The staff were efficient, approachable and friendly. Really good value and we had a lovely evening. I’d love to go back in the summer because the location overlooking the canal was stunning.

We heard from both the locals and the canal boaters how good this place was and it did not disappoint ! We visited twice...first time just for a snack and a drink and the second time for the 38euro four course dinner. All the staff...were absolutely amazing ... and the food to die for!! I can honestly say this was one of the best meals of my life (and yes I have lived! . Every course of the four course dinner was impeccable. There is no room here to go into details (but try the duck suffice to say EVERY course was absolutely amazing!! As I said ALL the staff were wonderfull...but our young waiter Simon especially so.
