Grumpy Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Has anyone recommendations for restaurants in La Creuse? We're halfway between La Souterraine and Geuret so would like somewhere within half an hours drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabman Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 We only tend to eat out for an evening treat, and have found le Coq en Pate in Gueret always to be excellent.Their 26euro Menu Marche never disappoints.Haven't yet tried the 39euro Menu Gourmand.Nice old fashioned service such as my wife and guests being offered their menus without prices.Cheapest wine 24euros rising to hundreds though!

Grumpy Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 Thanks for that one - we've looked at it a couple of times. The scenery is certainly quite spectacular, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paris Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Restaurants not far form Le Grand Bourg:Once visited the Logis de France at Benevent (this keyboard does not do accents), not long after it opened. Food seemed good, but found the atmosphere chilly. We like the restaurant of the Hotel Nougier at St Etienne de Fursac. the chef is still quite young, in his 30s now, and I think he took over after his father died suddenly a few years ago Certainly his meals seem always good, the place is popular with the French, especially on a Sunday, and Madame is quite charming. Otherwise, we would head down to St Leonard-de-Noblat where the logis serves good meals, our neighbours reported that the Gay Lussac (or similar name!) provided them with an excellent meal, the Moulin in the valley on the road to Limoges serves a varied clientele meals in 3 different restaurants(one expensive), but I've had no reports!)Some of these are of course south of you, but you might fancy a trip out one day...!Juliaon the wet, windy south coast of England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know the Hotel du Cedre at Benevent very well and eat there often, having become friendly with the manageress. The Hotel Nougier is our second choice as it is only a bit further away from us. The other places you mention look as though they're worth visiting, though. A bit further afield but it is nice to have a little more choice available. Thanks for the information Julia, much appreciated!Steve(also on the wet & windy south coast!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springbank Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 The Penalty in StMaurice la Souterraine is very rustic and very very good, family friendly easy to get to and the owners will make you eat it! Also the Passe de Murraile(spelling might be dodgy) in La Souterraine is exellant.Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Can you be more specific re the locations of the restaurants you mentioned. We live about 10 miles from La Souterraine and would welcome a change of venue but not sure where you are referring to. We are north of La Sout. Thanks Jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
