La Grange a Dime - Montreuil-Bellay

This was our second visit this year, having walked by the venue some many times before. The restaurant is not open every day so check before you go. Traditional, set menu in a wonderful old barn, which is cool on a hot summers day. You...will be offered an aperitif and then your starter of stuffed mushrooms, then rillettes with an endless supply of fouee, cooked in open coals as you eat. Then a cassoulet, followed by crème brûlée and coffee. With local red wine to accompany the meal, this is well worth the 25€ per head. We've had two excellent meals here and would thoroughly recommend this to visitors.

Very traditional styled restaurant. With only one menu (starter, main course, delicious dessert including wine), the meals are traditionally served and prepared. The atmosphere takes you back in history!

Our family had a special lunch here in this historic environment. We enjoyed the local specialties and had a great service. The interior is stunning and from a different age.

My wife stumbled through this restaurant while our family lived here. It is located in a historical landmark near the center of the city. We had a wonderful dinner! Some things should be mentioned. At first they spoke very little English. That made it... a bit challenging for us, but nothing we could not overcome. Secondly, I don't know if this is the case every evening, but the night we went was a set price fix menu. It was delicious! Started with an aperitif, then filled mushrooms, a main course, salad, and then cream brulee for dessert. They also delivered 2 bottles of red wine and freshly baked pizza oven rolls (they advertise that you want as many as you want what we use fully). All for 25 Euro/person! Given the prices we paid for dinner in other cities outside Paris (Bayeux and Chartres), it was a steal. Overall, I would recommend it if you were on the Loire Valley!

Our hotel owner has suggested and glad he did. This is a wonderful break from traditional French food (which I love) No menu options to eat through and good old comfort. Go there, relax and enjoy a non-complicated meal of the local fare. Couldn't come.
