Looking for restaurant Confolons - Oradour

[frexpt]

Friends visiting next week have asked to go to Oradour sur Glane.  Please can anybody recommend a good restaurant for lunch either at Confolens or perhaps closer to Oradour?

Many thanks

Auberge "La Marchadaine" at Montrollet

In the centre of the village with views over the plan d'eau, outside terrace, good food from 12€.

Between Confolens (17km) and Oradour (14km)

no great restaurants in Confolens, but on the N141 en route for Oradour there is the Vieux Moulin at Etagnac which offers a very good formule at lunch time & the excellent L'Auryvan near St Junien http://www.lauryvan.fr/

There are a couple of descent restaurants inside Oradour sur Glane itself (you have the old part kept as a museum and the "new" part with old mods and cons) Stopped there 2 summers ago and had lunch.

Hi,

We have eaten at a couple of the restaurants in Oradour Village. Both were good reasonable food.

We have also eaten at "La Vienne" in Confolens. The food is a varied mix of English, French, Indian, Italian etc etc

The food was good at lunch time and reasonably priced. The best thing is the Terrace Garden........................lovely setting overlooking the river......very nice.

Hope you find somewhere nice.

Best wishes Mel.

Not any more :-(  I seem to remember the reduction was done last summer to try and boost trade. The cheapest menu is now 13.90€ (not too much of an increase though) and the next 26€. (Just went and checked as I only live 5mins away)

I agree the parc is very nice though.........:-)

I haven't been back since a school trip the better part of 40 years ago.  The impression it made on me that day has stayed with me ever since........[:(]

Oradour was every bit as poignant as it was before........glad to have revisited, as my wife and friends had never been before.  I'll always recommend it as somewhere to be seen, I don't think we'll be going back ourselves........

As to the food side of things, which was the original purpose of the post, we settled on the Lauryvan and, as there was a special occasion inolved, ate in the restaurant rather than the auberge.  Lovely location and splendid attentive service.  Food was very good, but our feeling this morning is that, for a gastro restaurant, it didn't quite hit the heights.

Thanks for all of the contributions.........[:D]
