I chose to break my long drive (from Narbonne to Calais) in Orleans and found a brasserie in Olivet. It was when I chose a second beer with my meal rather than a wine that the waiter recommended that I try L'Absinthe. I went along...for a night cap... L'Absinthe is a delightful double fronted bar, with one room given over primarily to eating and the other to drinking. I have not seen a more characterful bar in my several visits to France. I really enjoyed my chat with the young owner who explained that he had chosen to provide a wide ranging selection of beers.

I visit this region every year and I am always charmed by the homey small restaurants and the gracious hospitality, including this wonderful little spot tucked away in Olivet. Although they do serve absinthe, which you should try if you haven't, it is the selection of beer that is incredible. And the crepes are wonderful; something for every taste. The staff was very welcoming and charmed that I had come all the way to Olivet from Florida US.

Very good atmosphere in this very tiny restaurant, a well-known place, and not only in the city. People are coming from quite far away to enjoy dozens of various beers, while eating best crêpes. The boss and his staff are always worth a visit, but don't be shy :-)
This place is now specialized in crepes and ice cream (and an infinite variety of beers). Great setting, a really wide variety of crepes, good service and great value. A beautiful terrace (weather permitting!) all contribute to a memorable experience.
Great food, a huge selection of beer brews and very friendly staff are only some of the reasons why you would want to visit this creperie again. Another thing is the unique decoration of the place - you cannot be bored!
Cute little place with 2000+ types of beer, what more could you ask for? Crepes were great, service was great and especially loved the decore. If you're nearby definitely check out this place.

Went here with the family for crepe and beers - Big selection, fast service and great staff. For sure worth a visit
