Restaurant La Luzeraise - Chalais

Hit by the cook and showed what looked like someone's room. Everything relaxed and plenty of time to enjoy all the flavors. The fish and Guinea fowl were excellent

Thanks to TripAdvisor reviews we booked for Sunday dinner. The sign at the edge of the road, which shows a trace between abandoned tile factory buildings, was the only hint we were in the right place. Nothing in the actual restaurant indicates that it is different than a private house. There was only one, decree, car in the area. We pushed the door of the house and entered a France that quickly disappears. We were picked into the empty dining room by a smiling lady of a certain age and a selection of tables for two were given. Aperitifs were served with excellent rillettes de porc, while we add the menus, if I remember correctly, 19, 29 and 39 euros. All offered quite limited choices so you don't want to eat there every week. We chose the middle menu and ordered the Feuillete d'escargots, and the Brat guinea fowl. Great choice. The Escargots were lump and juicy and accompanied by light as a feather bag and a delicious sauce. The Guinea-Fowl was prepared with a honey glaze and was tender and perfectly cooked, accompanied by beautified potatoes and a courgette dauphinoise. The cheeses were in perfect condition and delicious and the peach sponge that followed a joy. The portions were generous. The service neither too attention nor lack of attention. An offer to bring the bottle home meant that we can enjoy a glass or three of Madiran with the food. The only slight disadvantage was that we ate everywhere in wonderful isolation. After our hostess there was a big party in the night before, but it seemed strange to us that more people there did not flock for the excellent Sunday dinner. The dining room is decorated in traditional French provincial style and a number of interesting paintings decorate the walls. Really that is a restaurant not to miss and we will be back.

We were recommended to this restaurant by our hostess and it was a jewel. The building seems to be part of what was once a farm many years ago. It felt more like eating in someone's pre-room, lovely French. We were greeted by our hostess, who was an eighty-year-old, charming madame, who could not do enough for us. The food was raised, locally grown and prepared for us with competent hands. The flavors were both bold and subtle, herbs improved the taste: after five courses, several glasses of wine; three hours later we were satisfied. It was the best meal we had tasted in our three weeks stay in France.

What a wonderful restaurant tucked away yet easy to find in a great setting in the grounds if what was probably an old tile company. The restaurant is quite intimate with an interesting variety of art on the walls. There was an option of two...menus with a variety or choice on each. The service was impeccable, the food excellent and the wine selection very good. Not sure what else to say except that I shall return.

Little resto served by sweet and tangy 81-year-old lady with her son (3rd generation in the same location) Fresh area products, good wine card. A trait for lovers of an authentic kitchen and atmosphere. Reservation required, July and August only closed on Tuesday, except for the season on Wednesday.
