Auberge de la Roussille - Niort

We were recommend this restaurant and were not disappointed. Parking was a confusion, but parked alongside the river under the trees. We had an excellent lunch day under the canopy of the trees looking out over the river. Good food and wine. Accommodated us with...our dog without issue. Will be back

The setting outside tables under the shade of massive plane trees on the banks of the Sèvre-Niortaise river- is gorgeous. And the fixed price lunch we had was uniformly excellent and inventive, with the exception of my dessert, which tbh was a bit of...a dud. So why only ? It's all a bit serious and po-faced. The staff are attentive, polite and professional, but the atmosphere lacks that happy buzz that the really *really* top places all seem to have. I'd also forget going if you can't eat outside. The interior is indentikit designer-posh and a bit gloomy for my taste. But outside has a definite wow-factor. Just wish they'd all loosen-up a bit..

Amazing food in a beautiful location. We both had fois gras with sturgeon and Clementine followed by belly pork. Then I had a chocolate bombe and he had a lemon one. Wines to accompany. The restaurant is marooned in the river. Tricky to get to...but worth the effort if you like gourmet food

Wow, we loved this restaurant off the beaten track- the food was absolutely delicious, we ordered the entree and mains of the day- duck terrine, fish (Julienne de Lyne, a local catch) and the chicken- juicy, flavoursome and executed with a love for the...produce. Run by a passionate maître d chef, and set in a stunning location by the river. We’re so glad we made this small detour whilst journeying from Bordeaux to Chambord

If you are ever in the Area and you don't visit this Restaurant then you have missed something very Special. The presentation,combination and Taste is Excellent. The Service was attentative and the Wine for a Restaurant of this Quality are very reasonably priced. For us...the Quality,Price and the surroundings just very Special
