Auberge de la Roussille - Niort

We were recommended this restaurant and were not disappointed. parking was a confusion, but parked along the river under the trees. we had an excellent day of lunch under the soon in the trees that looked beyond the river. good food and weep. we took up with our dog without problems. will be back!

The environment outside the tables under the shadow of the massive plan trees on the river Sèvre-Niortaise is beautiful. and the fixed price lunch that we had was evenly excellent and inventive, with the exception of my dessert, the tbh a bit from. so why only 4*? it's all a bit serious and po-faced. the employees are attentive, courteous and professional, but the atmosphere lacks that happy buzz that the really top places all seem to have. I'd forget to go if you can't eat outside. the interieur is indentikit designer-posh and a bit gloomy for my taste. but outside has a certain wow factor. I wish they were going to loosen up a bit.

Amazing eating in a beautiful location. we had both Fois grass with sturgeon and clementine followed by bauch schwein. then I had a chocolate bomb and he had a lemon. wee to accompany. the restaurant is marinated in the river. tricky to too. but worth the effort if they like gourmet food.

Wow, we loved this restaurant of the beaten stretch- the eating was absolutely delicious, we ordered the entree and 2 mains of the day- duck terrarine, fish (julienne de lyne, a local catch) and the chicken juika, tasteful and with a love for the...produce run from a passionate maître d cook and put them in a stunning chef. we are so glad that we made this little way around during the trip from bordeaux to chambord.

If you are ever in the Area and you don't visit this Restaurant then you have missed something very Special. The presentation,combination and Taste is Excellent. The Service was attentative and the Wine for a Restaurant of this Quality are very reasonably priced. For us...the Quality,Price and the surroundings just very Special.
