Ferme du Touron - Campsegret

I have been wanting to try this place for a while but there always seems to be a long wait.

As we drove by this place, we got attracted and stopped to check it out. The woman who was working at the moment spoke English very well, and amazed by the cute venue we decided to make a reservation to have dinner this night. We are with a large group of 9 people, 6 adults and 3 children, but this was no problem. When we arrived they had set the table in the simple, yet charming looking garden, and placed fresh bottles of water on the table and fresh flowers. The people working that night, were an elderly couple who did not speak English, but altough our french is quite basic (we are Dutch) they made quite the effort to understand and help us. They had both French and English menus, and when we had a quick look, we ordered. We were amazed by the old man and woman, who were working very hard and kept an eye on us the whole evening so we had everything we needed. All our food was brought in at the same time, and we were suprised by all the food that was brought at our table. The portions are very large! Huge entrecots for €13,- and amazing fish skewers with gamba's, salmon and more, home made potatoes and fresh drinks. We really enjoyed this lovely meal in this nice setting. Also the kids had a lovely time, as they have a large petting zoo with a lot of animals. All together we had a lovely evening, with great food, even better service for a really good price. We would surely reccomend this place and come back if we would even visit this region of France again.

It looked pretty ugly outside, at a noisy road. Because of good reviews we tried it, but it was bad. Same person served and cooked between phone calls in the same room. Fastfood value for cusine prices.

We only went because there was nowhere else to go and time was getting on. Another member of our party had been before and said it was good???!from outside you wouldn't think it was open as a restaurant because during the day its a small farm/zoo (pigs, goats,birds that kind of thing). We sat outside on plastic chairs and tables and they were very dirty. Fortunately there was no smell from the animals.We all had steak and chips. There was a lot of fat on the meat and the chips tasted like they were cooked in some kind of animal fat. The food was edible but I would never recommend anyone should go there. It was run by one lady who took orders, cooked and cleaned up. I think she has got too much on her plate (if you pardon the pun!!!).

Small plates to share for brunchcount me in):- This is one of the best brunches I have had.
