"We dropped on here by chance on a lunchtime walk-up. Situated slightly outside the city centre, close by the river and a convenient car park, it's a respite from the hustle of the city. The menu and the restaurant looked attractive, and you can dine...outside. The food was excellent entrées of cauliflower velouté and a fantastic beef cheek with foie gras; mains of mackerel and confit chicken both perfectly cooked and packed with hidden delights and flavours; I finished with a 'Bounty-style dessert' which was actually deliciously toasted coconut topped with dark, dark chocolate. Excellent value at for either two or three course lunch menu. Accompanied with a glass each of Charentais wine (notably an interesting house Colombard) and coffees, the bill came to just over Chef Michael and his staff are very friendly, and present a quality that tells of his experience in high-end kitchens. Excellent food at a great price, served in pleasant surroundings. Can't wait to return. Absolutely recommended"
