La Cremaillere - Anlhiac

I'd heard great things about the Cremaillère since its reopening so was eager to visit. However, it wasn't a very good experience at all. We all opted for the menu du jour with my father choosing soup and me and and my husband the mushrooms à la Grecque. Dad's soup came as a weeny portion in a large tureen which you had to tip to ladle into the bowl, like you would to get at the real scrapings of bigger tureen of soup. He said it was just OK and there was no bread offered. His starter was cleared before the drinks arrived and we were still waiting for our starter! Ours was just alright also. For the main we had a Mediterranean stule cod with chorizo and tomato and then really weirdly some sort of sprouted chia seedy ricey mush and soy sauce to go with it. Very odd fusion choice. I could only describe the cod as being rank. It had a very strong smell and taste of ammonia and for all the time it was on the table we were surrounded by masses of greenbottle flies, obviously attracted by the stink. The only redeeming feature was the Breton style salted caramel and palet au beurre tiramisu which was frankly delicious. I won't go again or indeed recommend, there are better local places to try.

The staff were very welcoming although we hadn’t made a reservation and we also had the dog with us, a bowl of water arrived promptly for him. There was a varied choice on the menu and the food was well presented and very tasty. We had a lovely lunch and will certainly be back again.

A lovely warm welcome when we arrived, very clean and lovely home cooked food. Very pleasing pretty little place . Easy to find. Speaks a little English for those who don't have much French. Parking out side. Dog friendly. Our visitors loved it. Will go again.

Repas pour le plat du jour en semaine à 13€, un régal! Pour ce prix, vous aurez droit à la soupe, l'entrée, au plat, au fromage et au dessert avec le café et une boisson. Et pas qu'un peu dans l'assiette, une belle quantité et surtout la qualité. Le service est très sympathique, disponible et accueillant. La salle est décorée avec de jolies peintures et des photos de la région. Ne manquez pas cette adresse en passant dans le coin!

Les patrons qui tiennent ce restaurant sont vraiment ADORABLES. Parfaitement à l'écoute du client. ( du jamais vu ..., même en Dordogne...)Leurs plats sont tout simplement Excellents !! Goûtez la soupe aux champignons et vous comprendrez !.Le plat du jour est hallucinant pour seulement 13 €, vous avez droit à un potage ( toujours très bon ), une entrée, un plat chaud, un fromage, un dessert ( avec 5 ou 6 choix possibles ), un quart de vin et le café est compris !!! Les plats sont copieux et de bonne qualité.Il y a des restaurateurs ( chez nous en Alsace ) qui pourraient en prendre de la graine, autant au niveau de la qualité, de la quantité, ainsi que de l'accueil !Vous comprendrez que je recommande vivement, ils le méritent amplement.BRAVO !Jean-Pierre DORFFER - Alsace
