Bistro Contemporain - Parthenay

We held a family birthday meal here (20 people) and although we chose the standard menu the restauranteur went out of his way to be helpful, making the adjustments we asked for and providing a special dessert for the birthday boy, complete with sparklers at no extra cost. The decor and table settings are attractive and if it's a warm day you can have an aperitif at the poolside. I might add that we'd heard mixed reports about the restaurant but apparently it has changed hands (several times) and so anything written about the service or personnel before 2014 is no longer relevant.
