We are here after the second day of our visit to Puy du Fou. Tired and reluctant to drive into town, this was convenient, being just a few steps from the Hotel Ibis. We were having a look at the menu outside the door when...a man, I assume the owner, burst out of the door exclaiming that it was warm inside. He cheekily invited us in and we felt unable to refuse. We were asked if we were from the Ibis and received a warm welcome inside and we were seated quickly. There was a good choice on the menu and despite the rather glossy (un-French) decor, there was a children's menu. Everything appeared good quality and the meals were excellent. Portions were on the larger side of normal for French restaurants. Bread was served as individual rolls rather than the traditional basket. We chose a carafe of red which was pretty good. Staff were attentive despite the restaurant being busy. Diners appeared to be largely locals and we saw some people being turned away without a reservation.
The building itself from the outside is far from inspiring as it is located between an Ibis and a B&B budget hotel and a bit isolated looking. The area appears ripe for further development and I did not have high hopes of a decent meal, fearing that it would be touristy affair. Far from it. Not sure if English is spoken .More
