La Criee Olivet

My own and my husband ate here on the way back to england. if they want to avoid the usual chain restaurants, it is a good choice. If they don't like fish, it is not! we had the fish and chips well cooked and presented, expensive but for what. they get. restaurant lacks ambiente, service is professional, but without warmth. no complaining, but no wow factor.

Three of us in la criée, olive, and enjoyed a very pleasant evening. they were quite busy, it was the washing, and we had not eaten forward, but they found us a room and made us feel welcome. the food was served quickly, was hot and fresh. the lobster (I am reliably informed) was perfectly cooked. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

The resto is located in a typical French way. next to a main road on a commercial zone. not what they expect. free parking is available. the resto itself is cozy and has friendly (english) staff. we ordered seafood (as oysters, longoustine) for dinner. it's all yummy. bottle of good white wine to make it complete. it is worth jumping in the car and going for it.

For a night in orleans, we found thuis restaurant from tripadvisor. Just like some other people we had a wonderful meal and experience!

Having scoured TA for restaurants in Olivet we settled on this one. Imagine our surprise when we found it. It was not nestled in a picturesque square in town or even perched on the banks of the Loire. No this one sits on the edge...of a retail park next to a fast moving dual carriageway. The terrace, where we had a delicious meal overlooks the car wash next to an enormous E.Leclerc. Nevertheless, the welcome was warm. There were linen tablecloths on the inside tables and linen napkins on all tables. This is a seafood restaurant. Don't waste your time if you don't like seafood! We had grilled sardines to start. My husband had sea bass with crevettes dauphinois potatoes for a main. I had a plate of various seafoods all beautifully presented accompanied by excellent chips and home made mayonnaise. For dessert we both had a dark chocolate fondant. Wine €20 was a bit dear, but the total meal 3 courses wine coffee was just over €80 for the two of us. E cel lent value we thought. The service was courteous, efficient charming. We would definitely visit again if we are in the area.
