After 13 years at the helm of Le Clémence in Saint-Julien-de-Concelles, Aurélie and Jean-Charles Batard have reopened a restaurant in this impressive green-shuttered house facing the very pretty Port Domino on the river Sèvre. In this lovely riverside setting, there’s a traditional feel thanks to the beautifully decorated dining room and the terroir cuisine made with well-chosen seasonal produce. Aurélie, who is particularly smiley, presents the menu off the board. Homely atmosphere. Excellent list of local wines.
