Auberge du Brelan - Anthé

We booked a table for two at lunchtime. We arrived, parked the car under the trees and wandered into a large, modern diningroom; three of the four walls were made of glass, and outside the most glorious wooded landscape made us feel relaxed and comfortable....More

We wanted to avoid veal and foie gras because of animal welfare concerns - not easy around here! Auberge du Brelan delivered - and with style. We had squid stuffed with mushrooms with sea-foam (starter); chicken supreme, cod, and steak (mains); and sundae and a chocolate confection (desserts). They were all delicious, beautifully presented and in just-right portion sizes. They were original too - it's always nice to experience a slightly different take on food. The restaurant is a new building elegantly decorated in grey. It's in a wooded clearing and is easily missed if you approach from the west. The waiting staff were patient and kind about our poor French. Service was at a good pace. We saw only 2 empty tables on a Tuesday night. It wasn't a bargain - €21 for 2 courses and I think €30 for 3 - but we'd definitely come again for the quality and competence of this little gem.

This is a Restraunt which we have eaten at on a number of occasions in the past and always had a good meal and excellent service.The location is a bit unusual and perhaps on first impressions more like a roadside eatery than a real Restraunt, however on entering the environment is relatively okay.This year we eat our first meal and noted they had tried to enhance the exterior eating space a little ..and it's moving in the right direction.The menu had changed considerably insofar as the choice of dishes has been reduced considerably on last year. I think there was four starters and four mains and four desserts.The food was good and well presented but I am not so sure that I would be planning frequent visits unless the menu was changing...I know the old saying don't fix what is not broken but restraints need to challenge and change if they are to progress and succeed, this felt like we have a few dishes they work so don't push the boat.Four people plus wine 168 euros ..won't break the bank but at the same time not every week.Certainly good for once every six/ eight months at a push.

The Brelan is a lovely place to eat , good price and good food, people very friendly. you can eat outside or in .

Having looked at the website for this restaurant we were rather disappointed with the reality. The restaurant is situated out of the village on a "main" road and probably accommodates coach parties and large groups. We were there in early September and all the eating was outside. The tables were small and for 2 people, with 2 or more pushed together for larger groups. Our 5th diner was put at the end, so that we were effectively 3 on a table for 2, i.e. cramped and not enough leg room. As everyone seemed to arrive at once the service was a little slow at first but friendly. The food was satisfactory on the whole; a carpaccio of salmon starter was excellent although the stuffed squid was tough and probably from a catering pack. The deserts (n especially the lemon pavlova, did not seem to be home made and were not very good.Basically, this place is OK if you are passing but not worth travelling to.
