L'Ozone at St Antonin

Restaurant review – L’O’zone, St Antonin     0563 02 00 68

Many of you will know this restaurant by the Carrefour Contact supermarket on the main road.  After several recommendations from local people we decided to give it a try for lunch the other day and we were pleasantly surprised.

Apart from the bar area at the front, the rest of the property overlooks trees and a derelict house by the river so you soon forget its location by the car park.  The inside is clean, modern and cool and about half of it is an open covered terrace at the back. I think in total there are about 50 covers.

The owner is Fabienne Zucchinali and she is charming, friendly and efficient as is her young assistant waitress.  All food is freshly home cooked on the premises using fresh ingredients and local fruit and vegetables.

We had the three course menu du jour at €13 each including coffee plus €5 for a half litre pichet of wine.

The starter was a very tasty fresh salad,
Main course was steak served with fresh ratatouille and sauté potatoes done with garlic. The steak was very tender and for the first time with a steak on a menu du jour, there were no gristly bits to take home for the dog!
From the choice of deserts we had a very nice apple clafoutis and a home-made île flottante with praline.

For the food and service I give it 5 out of 5.

Val says we have heard the food is good.

On the other hand is there anywhere to eat at la Fouillade, and a coffee shop by the  Intermarché?
