Restaurant de Ruffaud

Small very friendly brewery, with a breathtaking view of the pond of ruffaud, rather simple but very well cooked dishes with good fresh products!! nothing to say the value ratio is excellent and the staff is really charming!! and our friends on 'legs are welcome!!

After a day of hard work on our property renovation, and driving out late to find somewhere to eat, this restaurant was a bright jewel in the darkness of the forest. It was we hadn't booked, but we were welcomed and seated. It was...a beautiful setting for a meal at night, the lights of the restaurant twinkling in the lake. The menu is straight forward, but with plenty to choose from. Portions are generous, and the prices offer excellent value for money. We will certainly return! One word of warning... take a torch! When we left, it was absolutely pitch black as we walked down the road to find our car.

Everytime we go out to France, we make sure we find the time to visit this lovely restaurant for lunch at least once! The location superb ... in the middle of a wooded area (Ruffaud), which has a camp site, and a beautiful lake....The restaurant overlooks the lake we love eating out on the deck, over the manmade beach. The staff wonderful .... whenever I ring to book a table (using my best French I might add), they always answer me in English just as well, as I would hate to mess up a booking! The staff are so friendly and attentive and forgiving of Franglais! The food superb .... we have never had a bad meal here! We always opt for the Menu du jour a course meal for The food was wonderful not some cheap, frozen rubbish, but beautifully cooked and wonderfully fresh. For our euros, we also had coffee included we had not had wine though. We have previously had steaks and fish from the a la carte menu these were also superbly cooked and very fresh. One of our all time favourite places to eat!

Very good reception, the service was top and we enjoyed it!! Thanks to the chef for these delicious skewers and this wonderfully cooked rice, this changes the traditional white rice! short a meal at the top in a beautiful setting.

2nd test for this restaurant taken this winter. just as disappointing. What a pity to have such a nut to serve this! When there's more people in the room than in the kitchen it's starting badly. The food is horrible: menu child nugets fries (surgelled), salads with immangeable ingredients, the beef piece is the only piece that was good.To finish 20 minutes waiting to have 2 ice balls because of overflowed cook while in room 7 servers and bosses were talking around the bar. I hope he will adapt. I don't recommend and I don't think I'll come back for a long time.
