We cycled here on 7/7/05. It is a slightly hilly 20 minutes ride up through the forest, right at the Carrefour de Rendevous, then left on the the Mortaigne road. By car it is a 5 minute ride towards Mortaigne on the left. There is easy parking on the road.
The restaurant is an old hunting Inn. Inside are old photographs of the Duke's hunt and hounds taking their refreshments. There is a good choice of dishes on the set menu for €10. We had a freshly cooked quiche lorraine and an egg mayonnaise. Both served very fresh and tasty with salad. For main course we both had steak. Mine was Steak Hache (minced a la hamburger) but freshly done with a mustard sauce and most excellent. Mo's was a Steak (long thin beef slices) and very good. We shared a litre of cider.
The cheeseboard contained a fine spoonable cream cheese mixture with garlic which I had never experienced before! For desert I had apple tart and Mo banana with chocalate and custard. Coffee was a bit extra!
