Chez Agnes - Lapenty

At the bottom of a small village in the south, it is an address not to be missed under any pretext. the reception is warm and the kitchen (house) is excellent for a prize within reach of all the scholarships. a recommend without problem !!!

The outside of this place is not very impressive, but once through the doors you will be in for a treat. Every day there is a wood fire at the back of the very large room, where the grilled meats are cooked. For the full menu you are offered a choice of cold starters, then there will be a hot starter, usually one of fish (the cassoulet is scrummy) and the other choice maybe something like gammon in sauce. There will always be at least one dish of the day. The Pot au Feu is especially good, as is the Boeuf Bourguignon. There will be a choice of meats to cook on the open fire, such as steaks, pork chops, sausages, black puddings or belly pork (petit salé). They do wonderful chips to go along with it and of course there is always bread on the table. Next comes the cheese platter that is handed to you to serve yourself and then the dessert. There is usually a good choice of mousses, creme caramel, maybe rice pudding or a home made cake or tart. Should none of these appeal then they will provide you with an ice cream cornet. It you have a corner left that needs filling then the small coffee will fill it. I haven't yet mentioned that all this is washed down with as much red vin de table and/or cider as you want. We do have vegetarian friends that have eaten there, provided we call ahead first, but the range of vegetarian food is not imaginative.

Just visited with friends, what a place, superb ! Certainly worth making the effort to visit. Great open fire place where the meat is cooked. Good and service excellent. Certainly suggest you have the Menu Complete (14.50 Euro), starter, second starter, main course, cheese, desert and coffee.Tres Bon !

Don't be put off it really is a restaurant and it really is open. It's like a tardis inside, great hospitality and a 5 course lunch menu for under 15Euros including wine or cider and with the plat cooked on the open wood fire. Always fun and great food, it is popular so bookings are a good idea.

We are very fortunate to live not far from the wonderful Chez Agnes. If you are looking for traditional rustic French food then this is the place to go. The meat is cooked on a large open fire inside the restaurant and the smell is just amazing. Five courses including wine for under €15. We always take friends here and they are delighted with the experience. Good home cooked food, great service and excellent value for money.
