Le Bearnais - Bourges

Super eating and excellent service we all enjoyed our meal and thought it was good worth the money paid. will eat again when we are in bourges.

You can't entirely blame chefs and restauranteurs for wanting to spend time with their families-and why not on Sundays and holidays? But whether you are in Paris or most small cities finding a restaurant open on those days is a challenge. They should follow the...example of Pharmacists and make sure there is some coverage. With the reviews lining up like a vertical cliff, equally from poor to excellent, we approached this place with some trepidation. It quickly filled up on a holiday weekend Sunday with local familieis, there being few choices. One efficient and gracious waitress had to cope with a full restaurant of more than a dozen tables-and did so quite well. It is a Formica/composite table and paper placemat sort of place, serving mostly pichets of decent but generic wine. We ordered scalloped veal which came with a salad and potatoes. While the meat was a little tough, the mushroom sauce was delicious and the potatoes and salad were quite satisfactory. Would we rush back? No. But the modestly priced meal was offered at fair value and everything was cooked to order. They offer good, simple fare. There is a time and place for that.

Chance walk by ... looked interesting ... walked in ... tasted even better. of us were very pleased with different combinations of the Plat de Jour and with the rosti poulet. Service outstanding local Sancerre wine so wonderful got a second carafe....reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Walked around Bourges looking for a restaurant on a Saturday night. Several on Tripadivsor were not open so we took our chance at Le Bearnais and were very happy. I ate smoke duck salad followed by veal kidneys and my wife opted for rabbit terrine...and chicken confit. Both main courses were accompanied by delicious dauphinoise potatoes

Very close to Hotel Panette where we stayed, off the main street. Friendly helpful staff. Had the duck with cassis, fab. Other choice was veal with mushrooms, great wine to go with it. Recommend it. They serve breakfast also. Would return.
