Le Relais - Mortemart

We visit this area each year and tend to eat here each year on a visit to Oradour or St Junien. Excellent food. Just finished a great menu du jour for 13€. Loved it.

We ate dinner based on the reviews on here and weren't disappointed. Slightly pricey but then we did go for the €45 option. Foie Gras delicious, steak was beautiful. They really looked after our little boy (beware there is no child's menu though so you do have to have a smaller version of adults meal) We were the only people eating but we were sat outside so it made no difference. Beautiful food, great service and thoroughly enjoyed it.

If you are in this area this is a must stop. The service and the food are impeccable. The desserts are homemade and out of this world. The decor is also very nice. Spend an hour in the nice little town Le Relis is in. Mouselin with red fruits is the best dessert my wife says she has ever had in France.

We stopped here purely by chance. The village, with a population of around 120, is classed as ‘one of the prettiest villages in France’ and is lovely. The lunch menu in this restaurant was just 12€80 and included a buffet of charcuterie and salads to start with, followed by either a pork chop or turkey with a mushroom sauce and a choice between french beans or a gratin of pasta, we had three desserts to choose from. Very simple, but absolutely nothing to complain about. Service was pleasant and efficient.

Following recommendations from locals we tried the restaurant and we were very disappointed with the service and food. The starters came in plastic boxes straight from the fridge and were passable, the second course was pleasant, but the main course and desert were tasteless ...the desert was also cold and had come from the fridge. All in all not worth the money.
