"Nous sommes venus un samedi midi et le restaurant était complet alors nous avons eu droit au petit salon qui est très agréable et moins bruyant ; nous avons choisi le menu du jour à 47€ et c’était vraiment très bon ; les entrées et les plats sont très intéressants mais ma préférence va au dessert qui était vraiment délicieux ; un chou au cassis nappé d’une sauce incroyable ; le service était parfait et l’ambiance sympathique ; la carte des vins est intéressante avec de bonnes cotes Roannaises ; une bonne adresse."

"J’attendais avec impatience d’aller dîner au central! Après un temps un peu longuet pour passer ma commande je n’ai pas été déçu. Amuse bouches des plus sympathiques, un petit bouillon revigorant ,une très belle entrée de coques à la crème de parmesan , suivi d’un filet de lingue au beurre d’aromates en écailles d’endives bien maîtrisé. La déception est arrivé au dessert avec les pommes (peu) cuites accompagnées de crème fouettée et un morceau de pâte feuilletée anecdotique que j’essaye encore de digérer. La création n’était pas à la hauteur des plats précédents. Ça me navre parce que c’était très bon. L’endroit est chic et sobre , le service des jeunes femmes attentif. Un menu que je recommande cependant !"

"If Entrecote << Marchand de vin >> is on your menu, jump on it. 2-day slow cook-down of 5 kilograms shallots and 50 bottles of beaujolais, a touch of salt. Stupid good. Good wine list."
