Le Roquentin - Laroque-Timbaut

We were a large group pre booked. On arrival meet by happy smiling and very efficient staff. The starter is a buffet and what a selection many and varied. Main was choice of beef, pork or fish. The beef cooked to your satisfaction. Followed by...a wide choice of deserts. Finished off with coffee. I would recommend for lunch.

Opposite the church , this restaurant was in a prime location. As with a lot of French restaurants after the summer season closes the opening times were a bit limited. Open every lunchtime but only Friday and Saturday evenings in September but we were advised...to book. Good idea as it was very popular. We sat outside under awnings in a pleasant decked area. Madame served all the tables but there were no delays. We had the euro menu, courses. The escargots starter was a very generous portion and tasted delicious. Both main meals of steak tornados and magret de canard were well cooked. The profiteroles were served as an amazing swan swimming in a dark chocolate hot sauce. Definitely recommend that! Nice atmosphere , would go there again!

We've been here before on previous holidays but always on a weekday and it was always very good. Today we went for Sunday lunch and it was perfect. Sondrine runs front of house and we sat inside the beautifully newly furnished dining room. After aperitifs,...we had melon fois gras and salmon starters. Main courses were cod with polenta and roasted tomatoes, and roasted stuffed chicken. Desserts were café liegois, creme caramel and roasted apricots. Mallory prepared the starters and desserts under the watchful eye of chef patron Jerome who cooked the mains. All accompanied with a local Buzet white wine. Twenty nine euros per head for food and euros in total for the three of us. If you are in the area you must visit what must be the best restaurant in Laroque Timbaut, Le Roquentin, perfect.

We visited for lunch on a weekday this summer. A local photographer's portraits from India were displayed, and there's a nice porch. The buffet is various starters including veggies, salads, sardines and meats. Simple but tasty main dishes. I enjoyed the haddock "aiglefin in a...delicious anis cream sauce with potatoes. Will definitely return soon.

We have been going to this restaurant for at least years, and it was a favourite, with consistently good local cuisine, and friendly, efficient service. We went there for lunch just before Christmas, and were dismayed to discover that the couple who ran it...for years retired at the end of September, and it is under new management. The lunch menu cost about Euros, but there was little choice. They still do a cold buffet, followed by a choice of three dishes. We had frozen squid rings and chips, which were unappetising. The choice of desserts is more limited than before. At the moment the only evening they are open is Fridays.
