Restaurant where the chef prepares refined cuisine using local produce, often organic, and offering good value for money.
Since June 2021, Wendy (front of house) and Sébastien (cooks) have been running their restaurant in this building, which was once a school. A refined cuisine, for which the chef carefully selects local and often organic produce. Menus offer a gourmet break, exploring the whole palette of l'Épine, while lunchtime is perfect for a value-for-money gastronomic break. Whether in the dining room or on the terrace, you'll be delighted by the chef's cuisine, which blends old stone with contemporary decor. We love the charming welcome!

Members' reviews on L'ÉPINE
La qualité des plats est supérieure à tout ce que nous avons pu tester à Azay et Wendy fait preuve d'un franc-parler qu'on apprécie. Le rapport qualité-prix est très avantageux (pour le client). Avec un menu à 38€/personne (entrée-plat-dessert), vous ne sortez pas affamés ni bedonnés. Les vins (au verre : choix restreint mais il n'en fallait pas plus) sont bien conseillés et choisis.
Cet établissement mérite son qualificatif de "gastronomique".
