Saintonge

Passing through Vichy, delighted with our lunch on the terrace. Efficient and discreet service. Good value for money. Hearty Auvergne salad as a starter then perfectly prepared beef tartare accompanied by golden and crispy homemade fries. Burger and flank steak are also very good. Very tasty gourmet coffee like the Nutella waffle that my daughter's t-shirt will remember 😅. In short, an address to remember!

Very friendly restaurant. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and well-dressed. The pasta carbonara was excellent and the portion was ample. The chocolate fondant was also excellent. The only downside: the red fruit coulis, which was a little too sweet, overpowering the chocolate flavor.

Very happy with my Monday lunch with the daily special. Poached eggs, chicken, salad, and vegetables, and gourmet coffee. Reasonably priced. Recommended restaurant.

Very friendly brasserie. Good value for money. Efficient service. Excellent food. The truffade is delicious!

Well located in Vichy, outdoor terrace, the service was fast. The staff is very welcoming. The restrooms are clean, tastefully decorated. The plates are well garnished, although each to their own, I found that it lacked seasoning. We had the country salad and the fried flank steak, a coke and a beer for €28. To do again if the opportunity arises.

While in Vichy, we enjoyed a very good meal with the manager. A burger with a "real" steak and homemade fries 😋 Thank you to Jean-Christophe and his team for their kindness. We will happily eat there again when the opportunity arises.

A very pleasant restaurant, the service is professional, and all the staff are very friendly. A small menu that ensures speed and quality; we had a blast! Special mention goes to the chocolate tiramisu, the poke bowl (pictured), and the white wine (St. Pourçin). Thank you for everything!

Great, very fast service, very nice staff and delicious! Thank you 😊

Delicious tiramisu accompanied by mint green tea. A moment of comfort in a rainy atmosphere.

Very friendly atmosphere, the staff is welcoming, we came to sit down to eat a waffle. We were very well received. The waffle was super good. The setting is warm. I highly recommend it, I will come back often, and with great pleasure!

We wanted to leave Vichy for a nice little meal in a restaurant. The one planned was not available, so we decided to go to the Saintonge because the day before we enjoyed having a drink on the terrace, and looking at the reviews on Google, we were a little surprised to see negative comments about the service even though we found the server quite nice. The menu tempted me with simple dishes from a brasserie. So, seated this time inside because the weather was a little cool, we quietly had an aperitif choosing from the menu. And we were not disappointed with our choices, because my darling was tempted to try a calf's head with gribiche sauce that I was also able to try because I had never dared to order this dish. It was frankly excellent...and I had a Lyonnais sausage with shallot vinegar sauce also delicious, maybe not enough sauce. These 2 dishes with the same accompaniment of green beans, carrots and baby potatoes (14€ each) followed by a Nutella waffle (4.9€) and lemon meringue pie (6€), and 2 glasses of a very good red wine from the St Pourçain vintage. Surprised by the accent of the friendly waiter who also had a great sense of humor, we asked him if he was of Belgian or Alsatian origin... he surprised us by telling us that he was from the USA and more precisely from Detroit. This allowed us to end a good evening on this nice touch... Which shows that you should not always remain on a bad impression of an establishment and try to come and taste it.

A lovely afternoon spent on the terrace of the Saintonge in Vichy. Under a radiant sun, the server treated us to his best "Marseillais rap" playlist. A joy for the ears but also for the morale. One small drawback: the owner didn't seem thrilled... after all, you can't see the taste!
