L'Atelier - Agen

This was the next restaurant of our accommodation and had good ratings on ta. we reserved a table only for the case, but there was no need, as there was enough space in the interior, while most terrace tables were taken. we started with a few beers and ransacked the menu. my wife skipped the starter and I went for the carpaccio of dorade. our main courses were lamb jam and filet of the sea bass. the three teller of the food were excellent and the main courses were hot pipping. we ordered wine on the glass and enjoyed the quiet interieur of this charming restaurant. there is, however, “but”. first, the waiting period for the lonely first course was unstoppable long as it was the time to delete the plate and serve the main courses. second, the waiter seemed to be a close friend of the diner at an outside table and spent all his time chatting with them instead of checking on other tables. at the end of the evening we even had to disturb his converstaion with them to demand the bill. Nevertheless we had a very pleasant evening and, to repeat, eating was exceptional.

We travelled canal garonne and stopped on Monday in the beautiful harbour of agen for an overnight stay. many restaurants near Mondays, so we recommend the harbor master for one. he has recommended l’atelier enthusiastically. we really had no idea how happy. we were in this extraordinary restaurant to eat. we came a little early before they opened, but they served us a very nice bottle of rose while we waited on the terrace. the menu and the fresh choice of the jour were very nice. the ladies chose the white fish special raved over how perfect the fish was prepared and the presentation. the young shared a beef tenderloin for two that absolutely perfect with taste over comparison. the beard sauce was the best I ever tasted. the cook visited our table to make sure we were satisfied. that is an extraordinary restaurant. do not miss the food in l’atelier when they are in agen.

Déjeuner entre ami lors de la visite de la ville. Excellent accueil du patron. Superbes plancha en entrée, suivi d'un lapin au romarin et pâtes au girolles. Pour terminer une délicieuse soupe de fruits rouges. Un très bon repas du midi.

Joli petit endroit trés bien tenu avec du caractère en déco et surtout des mets particulièrement soignés et succulents. Des produits de qualité des vins recherchés et des conseils au top.Un lieu sympa à ne pas manquer si vous passez par là.

Très bonne cuisine raffinée et pas forcément excessif dans le prix. Le cadre est aussi très sympa et calme
