Auberge St-Louis

Across the street from the church in Vitre, France you will find a charming place to dine, the Auberge Saint Louis. The restaurant is housed in a quaint old building with solid wood paneling on all the walls. It is a small dining room, but the chef, his wife and daughter were wonderful hosts. I had a baked brie with salad appetizer, which was lovely, flavored with nuts and figs. I gambled on something wild for the main dish, wild boar, and was not disappointed. It was tender, didn't have a gamey taste and was well-flavored. I loved the potatoes and mushrooms served with it. An original chocolate dessert topped off the meal. Nothing extravagant, but a delightful meal and experience. I would return to eat here.

I agree with other reviewers comments on the friendliness of the owners and the pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant. We were however a little disappointed with the food, it had obviously been cooked in advance and then re- heated.The lamb was quite tough, and for me, the sauce overpowering and my wife's wild boar was tasteless.I really feel sad to have to make these negative comments because the ambiance of the restaurant and it's delightful owners are positive factors.

This is what I live and travel in France for! The hosts are welcoming and professional yet personally informal. The dining room is comfortable, and is decorated in dark wood and fascinating wallpaper (look up at the ceiling). I had a starter and a main, a glass of wine and a coffee, all for 22 euros. The food is excellent; not fussy, but very fresh and seasoned well. I am looking forward to returning in July.

The best part about this restaurant is the couple who run it. They make you feel like honored guests in their home. The food is quite good, great value. We ate lunch outside, looking up at the beautiful south facade of the cathedral, but the interior is warm and cozy. This is the real deal so don't waste your time at one of the tourist sidewalk cafes.
