Le Gue De La Roche - Marsac-sur-l'Isle

That restaurant is located next to an old canal lock for small boats. A nice and pastoral place with outdoor seating as well. Food was good. The dessert was average, it wasn't Tiramisu as written on the menu and was expensive for what it was...in reality. The wine was average. Service was good and pleasant.

Off the beaten track, this restaurant is well-frequented by locals in the know. Although the only tourists there, we were welcomed with such hospitality. A fixed price summer menu showcased seasonal produce so well it was one of the best of our 3 weeks in...France. The setting by the canal is charming and the hostess is too. If you're after an authentic experience, get off the tourist track and try this little gem of a restaurant.

This ticks all the boxes for a traditional French restaurant in the countryside; excellent service, lovely atmosphere and phenomenal food. We are a family of 5 and so had a lot of changing of minds with regarding food, but the staff were friendly and accommodating....My son and I shared one of the specials of the day which was the 800 gram Côte de boeuf, at €42 for two, was incredible. Cooked to perfection, packed full of flavour it was the best cut of beef I have ever eaten... My son said the same too and he is an experienced steak eater! There are tables seated outside under the trees, near the river with only a large Chateau on the opposite side of the river to hint at any form of civilisation, which give a cosy and intimate feel. We didn't look at any of the seating inside but if you come to the south of France in summer, why would you ever want to be inside? All in all this is a quaint, underrated restaurant with outstanding food in a one of a kind location. You will be disappointed to miss this unforgettable meal!

An unexpected find; lovely lunch, delicious food, fabulous service and a wonderful host. If you want simple French food in a pretty location then this is the place for you!

The place is charming. The furniture and decoration very simple. The hostess entertaining. The menu and the cuisine unimpressive but the serving are generous and impressively presented, and the prices very reasonable for what you get.
