Le Lanaud - Saint-Hilaire-Bonneval

Fantastic surroundings, great location but... The dispense bar tender looked like he was gonna fall asleep, messy hair and a un ironed shirt, not even hello or anything, the waitresses and waiter were running like nuts, the manager was shouting at the waitresses, especially 'Monique ',...the staff in the open kitchen were eating during the service (food hygiene basics guys!! , it was just a massive mess. It looked like none of them ever worked in a restaurant before. The food was fantastic and the waitresses were lovely, especially Monique and the Dutch lady. Will go again but please get some training guys and a descent Maitre D

We arrived there and were told that there were no cow meat cut options, it was only midday on a Tuesday. we were a little shocked. we picked the cannon and the fish, but we didn't expect us to eat that. the place...was nice, the people sat enough to meet the safe distancing requirement. I was with young children and older people, so I felt comfortable. the land was beautiful, good landscape. we made a little walk on the field and it helped with digestion hahaha overall I was happy to try it but note them to go when it is hectic to have the chance to have more choice of meat.

Arrived at Sunday afternoons without reservation when there was a big party, but they attached us to the terrace. ok €30 menu of gazpacho, calf meat (very, very good) and meringue (a bit hard) with fruit. good enough house wine.

This is obviously a catering company that first manages its activity from the neighbouring seminar block. we arrived when the huge barn-like restaurant with seating for about 200-300 people were already three parts full of other big parties and we obviously missed the opportunity. to be under the first to choose from the two choices for each dish on the fixed menu. that was on the confused art and wise to see in which the options were presented. the cattle, the kassoulet and the bananenfritter we had were good enough, although not presented so well, still worthy of a price-day of 20 €. the service was friendly and friendly fast, but maybe we were there on a bad day. it is for large groups, and it does not seem much competition in the immediate environment, but if they want a more intimate meal, then limoges itself is not so far away.

This was our second visit and we have been very impressed with the food on both occasions. The 3 course set lunch is really good value the food has some really nice touches with presentation and seasonings. Really nice location with terrific views of the...area. Service was pleasant and efficient . I would recommend that you book as it seems to get busy .
