Le Renaissance - Limoges

Dined at this restaurant for my husbands birthday. We had a fantastic meal in a lovely room setting. Our waiter provided English menus and was available to help with other translations. My scallops were absolutely delicious and a real plate filler. Have never had so many scallops. Following this my sliced duck breast was to die for. Will be coming here again when we travel back and forth to Spain trice per year. Limoges is just the half way point for France and Hotel Le Renaissance, is equally as good as their food.Highly recommended.

We went to this restaurant against the advice of our hotel on the basis of Trip Advisor reviews. It was horrible. John Cleese could not have done much worse. We arrived at 7.30pm. We were promptly served an aperitif and some crisps. We appeared to be almost the only customers. Then the problems started. We were given the menu and chose the cote de beef for two. Twenty minutes or so later the waiter come back to say they had not got any.How about ba Bavette and chips. We politely said no and ordered the lamb shanks. Twenty minutes,maybe longer passed, and another waiter came back with the menu. They had no lamb shanks. How about bavette and chips. He also said they had some roasted veal left. Against our better judgement we ordered this rather than walking out. It turned up - another twenty minutes later. It looked quite pleasant. Then came the tasting. The beans were cooked to total tastelessness. The potato dauphinois was two or three days old. The potatoes had gone a peculiar colour, had been mixed with a lumpy supermarket sauce and heated up. The salad decoration was engulfed in vinegar and made me sneeze. Then there was the veal. It was tender glutinous and when cooler greasy. I started feeling a bit sick, gave up on mine and put it between two slices of bread for the dogs. The waiter turned up and did his Basil Faulty act. There was something wrong with us for not liking it even when I pointed to the off potatoes. He said the beans were fresh. Maybe they were freshly warmed up. Eventually he offered us a sweet or coffee in compensation. My husband does not eat sweets but chose a mango and coconut flan and I had a gourmet decaf coffee. My husband did not like his sweet; I like the nibbles from the nearby bakery and quite enjoyed mine until - I tasted the coffee. It was instant and fairly flavourless. They don't bring the bill, you have to go to reception. Then came the pie de resistance - we had been charged for the sweet and coffee!Be warned. Don't go there.

A classy place, with good food, quick service, pleasant staff. We had eaten the previous night just up the road and there was no comparison, wish we had come here first.

Staying overnight at Hotel Le Renaissance, we were so glad that we stayed at the hotel to eat. The restaurant was so warm and inviting looking, the 2 male staff were helpful and friendly, one of whom spoke excellent English and recommended an excellent bottle of wine. Our meal selections were stunning. Our starter of Scallops was absolutely delicious, 6 huge scallops with a well dressed salad. My steak the smallest size of 3 available was enough, succulent and tasty. The Dauphinoise potatoes, the best I have ever eaten. We were not able to sample the desserts as we were pleasantly stuffed. A fantastic meal, no complaints whatsoever. Highly recommended.

Super restoration, very nice staff and listen to single dish at night, you will need a renovation for floors and review the standards of showers/WC. But if not to stay there 4 nights the bed is comfortable and the breakfast brought in the room is much worth the 5 euros!
