From the outside you would never guess what is inside. On average we have lunch in a restaurant about once every fortnight and Le Pilote is becoming one of our regular places. The food is excellent, the service very good and the ambience just right. No whacky music, just French engaged in animated conversation. The restaurant food style is split between pizzas and normal French and some Italian. Like so many I was put off pizzas by the tasteless shams that some purveyors call pizzas. If that is you, try a pizza here. They are cooked in a separate area that can be viewed, away from the main kitchen. The base is thin, as it should be, and there is a wide choice of toppings, all full of flavour...
What a surprise! Our first visit to Le Pilote whilst out with friends who had eaten there before. Stepping through the door from the car park is like stepping through the back of a C.S. Lewis wardrobe: totally unexpected. A nice airy interior with a personal greeting as you enter and plenty of busy staff set the scene for a most pleasing lunch. Huge choice on the menu from salads to steaks via homemade burgers and pizzas. Jug wine was very acceptable as well. Various levels of 'formule ' at lunchtime, or à la carte. All in our party were happy with their mains which included burgers, duck breast salad and a farmer 's salad. Service was friendly, but not intrusive. Definitely worth calling in...
We just moved to the area. This is the first time we eat in this restaurant. We are highly satisfied! Very warm welcome. Very fast service. Nice and smiling staff. We didn't even need to claim a carafe of water, another one was already laid on the table. For a lunch break, we have plenty of time to eat thanks to fast and efficient service. We will come back with pleasure and will introduce this brewery to the family on holiday.
Don't be put off with the position of this restaurant which is to be found at the exit of the supermarket Leclerc in Thouars. The outside just doesn't do justice to the lovely interior where you are served with excellent food at reasonable prices by friendly and attentive staff. A most pleasant visit. If you're looking for somewhere to eat, you should give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

A very varied menu and lovely staff. Sadly we had a really tough steak last time after being regular clients. We were so disappointed that when we complained, for the first time, we just hot a shrug and we're charged for it. So we haven't been back, but I would still recommend it for everything else. Good value evening 3 course menu and the ice cream sundaes are fabulous
pizzas probably good thanks to the flow, but adventure on the map is perilous, ordered a dish of cannellonis immangeable at 13€50 and visibly low industrial quality. prices are far too high if we consider what is proposed. Too bad because the frame is rather pleasant and fast service.
Friendly restaurant with a pleasant decor, the proposed dishes are of good quality and well presented, I recommend!
A welcome to the top, and the sauerkraut....mmm a pleasure
