Le Pourquoi Pas - Neuville-de-Poitou

I enjoyed a delicious meal here, while staying with a friend who was born and raised in Poitiers I loved the bustling atmosphere and expert service.

On holiday in the area. Excellent food and good service reasonable prices. Kid menu available and our son received gifts including a frisbee beach ball and water toy. I had steak with pepper sauce and potatoes and ratatouille it was cooked well. My husband recommends the chocolate fondue.

A night out with my family of 6 cost us 150 euro and we would have been happier getting a sandwich in the local Lidl. The starter wasn't too bad and the waiter was OK (my sister said) I wasn't so sure. But the main course was a real let down. Two of us had overcooked fish that looked very boring. Four of us had entrecote which was large but very chewy and fatty. Most of it could not be swallowed. The sauce was nice but the vegetables were very poor. We didn't stay for dessert and left feeling very disappointed. This restaurant had been recommended by the owners of the house we were staying at which we now wished we had ignored.

Very friendly maitre with very little English, but we speak a little French so it was all good. I had the snails au gratin.
