Mon avis concerne un très agréable moment passé dans ce restaurant hier pour le déjeuner. Que dire sinon que tout était parfait pour un délicieux moment en famille. Un cadre magnifique dans un calme très appréciable, le personnel très agréable, des cuisses de grenouilles plus que délicieuses. Bravo au chef et à toute l'équipe nous nous sommes tous régalés.

Nous étant trompés de restaurant, nous avons été acceptés très aimablement, et avons dégusté notre repas de déjeuner au bar. L'accueil est chaleureux, la cuisine excellente, rapport qualité-prix raisonnable. Serviettes en tissu. Le nougat glacé laisse sur une bonne impression. L'emplacement est idéalement calme. Parking ombragé (près de l'église). Nous gardons un excellent souvenir de ce déjeuner (vendredi midi).

Nous avons passé une très bonne soirée. L'accueil très agréable, un repas excellent. Les enfants ont adoré le menu avec poisson et frites bien sûr . Quand à nous, c'était parfait avec mention spéciale pour les desserts. Le framboisier est à tomber par terre ! Et nos voisins de table ont repris des profiteroles expliquant qu'ils n'en avaient jamais mangé de si bonnes.... Une super adresse pour se régaler dans un cadre reposant. Nous reviendrons !

Nous venons de passer une semaine au Relais de Thezillieux. Un couple charmant qui tient cet établissement, très bon accueil. Nous avons très bien mangé du petit déjeuner (copieux), pique-nique et dîner. Toujours quelque chose de nouveau au petit déjeuner (pain perdu un délice, pain toujours frais…). Pour le dîner excellent, très belle présentation, de belles assiettes bien copieuses. Bravo le chef vous avez contribué à la réussite de notre séjour. En fin de journée prendre un bon cocktail sur la terrasse face au soleil un vrai bonheur après une bonne balade à vélo. Le relais est bien situé pour des départs de balades en vélo. Nous y retournerions très volontiers.

TRÈS BON RELAIS MOTARDS Nous avons été accueillis avec le sourire. C’est avec plaisir que nous avons accepté lorsque la patronne nous a proposé de mettre notre moto dans le garage. Le repas était excellent et je recommande l’assiette de dégustation des douceurs maison pour le dessert. Petit déjeuner copieux. Hôtel très calme. Si vous passez par là, arrêtez vous au relais.
