L'Hacienda Loca

Our first restaurant trip for 9 months but a very positive first step. The melon and pineau starter was complemented with a falafel and ratatouille main and an apple tartin dessert, all of which were excellent. My wife had the trio of desserts taster plate and was similarly pleased. A beautiful bottle of red and some reasonable priced champagne added to the experience. We ate on the terrace which was quiet and unobtrusive. Very helpful staff who were happy to communicate in a variety of languages. Menus are available in English. Would thoroughly recommend.

Welcoming restaurant, great setting with views on the Terrace and food which we couldn’t fault and was reasonably priced. Best restaurant in Saint Aulaye by far. Under new management from July 2019 so ignore previous reviews. Owners personally welcomed us and were amazing with our children (8 years old).

This was our first time at the Hacienda we had passed it many times and kept meaning to try it. We were not disappointed. The menu was very good, although, as always in France, the options were very limited for the vegetarian in our party. Although she did rate her omelette as one of the best she had ever tasted. My duck was delicious and the sauce was fantastic, as were the dauphinoise potatoes. The desserts were great and the service was attentive and very friendly. We loved the setting on the terrace, watching the sun go down over the horizon. What a great experience. We’ll be back!

Under much needed new management, we were very pleased to revisit. Warm geeting by attentive staff and a fantastic new menu. Fresh flavours, great produce made for an amazing lunch on their beautiful terrace. Very reasonably priced with a menu, extensive enough to asure our return. Would very much recommend!!

Nice setting and the owners were welcoming when we arrived. We chose the 28€ lunchtime menu but were disappointed in the quality of the food. Overall it wasn’t well cooked and the dessert tasted like it had been frozen and reheated. We were very disappointed especially given the quality of other reviews.
