La poule noire - Table reservation

We were lucky to get a table for lunch - the last one on a Friday afternoon in mid-December. The restaurant is small -only 10-12 small tables, and is housed in a medieval building on a small but lovely square. The food, chosen from the 23 euro menu was superb. The foie gras melted in my mouth, and the fish entree, with asparagus, radish and roasted potatoes (in a butter sauce) were equally tasty. I had a glass of the local Sancerre red wine. We skipped the dessert, as we were too full for more. Service was exceptional. Our rather young waiter serviced the entire room with a smile, competence and at just the right speed. Excellent value. Highly recommended.

The owners are sisters Mary and Emily who come from a large family of restaurateurs. They make you welcome from the moment you enter. The food and decor are very simple but elegant. Service is enjoyable and not rushed. Good wines. One does not expect this level of cuisine in such a small town. Definitely the best restaurant in La Charite and we missed it on our first 4 visits. There is also a lovely patio in the shadow of the gothic cathedral..

Relaxed atmosphere, good menu options. I recommend the Assiette Gourmande for desert, you get 3 puddings in one. Great place to eat outside in the summer, we were warmly welcomed this winter lunchtime.

Visited by chance while staying at the nearby campsite. Fantastic food and whilst not cheap, great value for money. Lovely staff and setting. A great early evening treat
