La Petite Auberge

Simplicity isn't accessible to everyone. It allows you to discover the authenticity of flavors. No need to describe it, I'm charmed. It's absolutely worth discovering. Everything is designed to delight. My taste buds are still tingling. A truly great moment.

I don't usually post Google reviews but I'm going to make an exception. The inn is located in the heart of the friendly village of Pouligny Saint Pierre. A car park allows you to park peacefully at the rear. It is possible to have lunch outside, in a pleasant, well-sheltered space located between the inn and the wall of a small store which sells traditional pyramid cheeses from Pouligny Saint-Pierre, the delicious peasant nobility of which you will not fail to find in your dishes. We had lunch inside, a simple and pleasant setting. Very friendly welcome from the team. Going to the toilet, excellent hygiene, soap in the dispenser, paper towels (with sheets of paper in them), an army of disinfectant products which provide a reassuring fight against possible bacteria. Aperitif: a refreshing and original spring beer allows us to wait. Not too long because the service is efficient while remaining attentive, friendly and patient. Yes, patient: when 21 people from the same table order 21 different menu compositions and there is always one who doesn't know what they ordered or when the waitress comes back and asks who had the foie gras with tonka beans and of course no one answers and listens... When it comes to the dishes, the chef is undeniably talented and keen to do quality work. There are clearly high standards in the kitchen. Starters, main courses, desserts: it's generous in quantity, authentic, well presented. There are no exceptions. The dishes chosen (and we chose them all) compete with each other. The products are local, well chosen and qualitative. Everyone thought they had chosen the best dish until they tasted what was on their neighbor's plate. Some dishes are served on gallows. The meat or prawns are hung on stainless steel cylinders which, by inertia, keep them warm. These gallows are flambéed in front of you before being served. The flambéing is with pastis for the prawns, with cognac for the mixed grill and with whiskey for the beef. As you see, nothing is left to chance. To ignite the gallows, a young and nevertheless charismatic waitress put on the show with a confident and impressive gesture. His colleague also showed great patience and efficiency in serving our table. As for drinks, the white wine, a reasonably priced mennetou lounge, was easy to drink and fruity (to be consumed in moderation of course). The hardest part about dishes is choosing. For a restaurant for two, here is my advice: a spring beer or a good white wine from the center of the Loire Valley as an aperitif. Still as an aperitif, take a large or medium carp fry for 2 and enjoy them, topping them with the fresh goat cheese served with them. The alliance is perfect. It's not greasy, it doesn't taste like slime, there's no stop... It's addictive. Then order a starter, the breaded Pouligny Saint Pierre salad, for example, is an excellent choice. But you can't go wrong either way. Then delight your eyes and taste buds with a gallows of your choice (the prawns are huge and numerous, the meats delicious, the small chorizos have a good character). The accompaniments? Delicious home fries, or a chorizo ​​risotto to die for. Farandole of sauces in ramekins to accompany this (goat cheese, pepper, wine). An excellent time spent by a group of 21 people last evening at the small inn for a birthday. A young and talented team is at the helm to provide you with a great experience. The cuisine is excellent, generous and the originality does not detract from authenticity. The service is attentive. Good value for money. We will come back.

Excellent welcome.... An EXTRA prawn potence with perfect fries (€58 for 3 people, reasonable price). Very good ice cream for dessert. A beautiful, quiet location. March 2024: Always a friendly welcome. Extraordinary pork ribs. A great, friendly time. May 2024: Excellent welcome. Superb prawn potence. Delicious rum baba. June 2025: Excellent welcome and lunch. Mussels Bordelaise style; a new and yet delicious treat.

5 stars without hesitation!! The place is beautiful, the welcome is perfect, the staff is very kind and above all very professional!! Couscous last night with a friend, the meats were simply delicious, the vegetables were perfectly cooked. I'll skip the Colonel dessert which perfectly rounded off this delicious meal. I'll come back in the summer to enjoy the terrace and especially the meat stand which promises to be amazing!! Simply a must in the region :) with a happy medium price. Quiet parking!!

We had a very pleasant evening. The food was good, and the waitress was very friendly and professional. The typical dish of this inn is delicious. The fried carp we had as a starter was excellent.

A wonderful place, and we had a great time! The sharing option is very nice! The prawns and risotto are a must-try! Address saved. We'll be back!

2nd visit to this restaurant and once again a success, with the beef potence, of refined quality, perfectly cooked as well as the desserts. I want to mention the team who were very kind with humor and good advice. I highly recommend.

An excellent address. Delicious dishes. I chose a prawn stew, accompanied by a risotto: a treat! Very friendly staff. It's worth the detour. We'll be back.

Discovering this little inn. A very friendly and smiling welcome from this young couple. The food is excellent and homemade, no fuss, but the quality and down-to-earth attitude delighted us. On Wednesday, the mussels arrived; I absolutely fell for the mussels in Pouligny sauce, to die for, and the French toast-style brioche with yogurt ice cream and homemade whipped cream, a delight. Oh yes, and discovering the carp fries 😉😉 I say bravo and keep delighting us with both our stomachs and your smiles. I'll definitely be back...
