L'antre Temps - Rennes-Le-Chateau

We visited the restaurant l’antre temps and found a beautiful covered terrace with a fantastic seasonal menu, with a large vegetarian choice. everything was handmade, including chips, veggie flan and beautiful salat. the personal was attentive and made us very welcome. great. worth money and a nice opportunity to spend a lazy lunch.

We enquired as to if the Chef could provide a Gluten Free meal, with advanced notice. We were told that there was plenty to choose from on the menu and they’d note our table before arrival. The waiter was knowledgeable and gave options and also...double checked with the Chef. The quality of presentation was superb, and I’m sorry that I didn’t have my phone with me to take photos. The food was fabulous and the generous portions were appreciated. There were other diners there of all ages and nationalities, single diners, couples, groups and a couple of families with young children. We will go out of our way to dine there again and we highly recommended this jewel of a restaurant.

First plus point we asked in advance to see a menu for the day we were going sorry, came the reply, but we prepare each day’s menu according to what’s available. We were not disappointed. The terrace where we ate is quiet and...shaded and unpretentious – like the whole place. We opted for the €20 menu – a ridiculously low price for the quality of food served – and although we had a few supplements, coffee and a bottle of remarkably tasty local pinot noir, the final bill was a most respectable €72.00. First courses included a delicious gazpacho and an equally good chèvre dish. Main courses were steak and pork, the latter wonderful but the former less imaginative a bit too big. We were invited to choose our lovely puds from a wide selection in the cold cabinet. All in all, a small restaurant well worth visiting and, as far as we could tell, almost certainly a cut above the posher-looking alternatives in the same village.

An inventive and generous kitchen... A chef who is at the top and Pascal who always serves you with a smile... always a pleasure to have a good time????...
