Our Review

Traditional restaurant nestled on the edge of a lake,  with a panoramic view of a woodland.  Located in Deux-Evailles between Montsûrs and Jublains in the heart of Mayenne.  Perfect for romantic meals with an after-dinner walk. Located in a restored old mill, the chef cooks local seasonal products.  4 starters, and 4 tailor-made mains, that will make your taste buds salivate Reservation is necessary.  

You would expect to pay a lot more for this dining experience.
