Restaurants

The dossier in the house will give you full details, but to whet your appetite here are some ideas on local places to eat:

Montmorillon – Le Lucullus.
Fantastic family run restaurant in the Hotel de France. Menus range from €18 for three courses to the Menu Gastronomique at €45. Really wonderful food with friendly service in elegant surroundings. The Hotel de France also has a Bistro which is amazingly good value, with a slightly simpler menu.

Montmorillon – Au Roman des Saveurs.
In a lovely place, down by the river in the medieval town, this provides great food at reasonable prices. Elegant surroundings, a little larger than Le Lucullus.

Montmorillon – Creperie.
Tiny, good value creperie in the medieval part of town.

Angles sur l’Anglin – Le Lion d’Or.
Smart dining at good value.

Angles sur l’Anglin – Marsala
Good pizzeria which is cosy in the winter and has extensive outdoor seating for the summer.

Chauvigny – Choucas.
A lovely restaurant high up in this medieval town. Great outdoor eating in the summer, cosy inside for the winter. Menu du Marche for an amazing €11.

Chavigny – (as distinct from Chauvigny for those of you who thought it was a typo). Moulin de Chavigny.
Probably the smartest restaurant in the area. Wonderful surroundings in the countryside down by the river. Tranquil dining inside or al fresco – with menus from €18 - €50 for the menu gastronomique.

Belabre – Café des Sports.
This is great for outdoor meals in the summer. Simple local restaurant in the town square with really good food at incredible value. €10 menu is fantastic. Have a café calva to finish off your meal!

Antigny – Les Marmottes.
Tiny restaurant in this hamlet with a covered outside area. Madame is completely charming and keeps the show on the road, while Monsieur specialises in grilled meats with great marinades and spices and issues fishing permits.
