RESTAURANT LE PETIT PORT - Fareins

We had a larger party and enjoyed our dinner here very much. The food was quite good, and the staff helpful. They seemed a bit stretched with a full patio, but they were very nice. The outside patio was airy and enjoyable on a nice...summer evening. The road noise was a little much but didn't put much of a dent in the evening. Would definitely go again.

We had the decouvert formule meal which was delicious. The prawns were tasty and fresh and the salad excellent, our main courses were tender, tasty and good sized portions. The ice cream was fantastic. We spoke little French but the lady who served us...was friendly, patient and so helpful she made our night! She also gave great tourist advice, an excellent ambassador for the region. Thoroughly recommended.

We were more than persons, wanted a separated place and an easy access for someone on wheelchair, and a menu with several choice with local specialty such frogs, pike perch, Charon etc...we got everything well served, and all of us appreciated the moment. Off...course it has been organised in advance but the owner was very responsive by e-mail. The only remark I have is we need to park the other side of the road. Because there is a lot of traffic maybe it will be nice to have a pedestrian crossing front of the entrance of the restaurant.

We had a nice dinner, servers are a bit cold, but you are in a part of france where people are a bit rustic. The owner of the place though was very friendly.

Four of us ate here on a Monday evening when business was quieter than usual but the food and service were first rate. An amuse-bouche with a vin mousseux/blue Curaçao aperitif was a great start, then two had grenouilles in a sauce off the bone,...which they pronounced delicious and two a baked goats cheese wrapped in Parma ham with a salad and mousse accompaniment. Next two baked sea bream which were fabulous with vegetables, a sea bass and a duck dish all of which wonderfully presented and in generous portions. Wine to go with was a house rose and a white regional Vire-Clesse (accent on the two last e s here) and they were crisp and clear and flavoursome. Our French friends were a little disappointed by the desserts as they like very fancy ones, we were delighted with ours a simple chocolate mousse and a creme brûlée- I'm not a fussy pudding person so this was just right for me. Coffee to close. Not a cheap meal but not excessive either some lovely little touches and excellent quality. Would go back.
