Our Review:

The chef will delight your taste buds by preparing fresh beautifully presented and gourmet dining. A great wine list and the Bill dor dinner recently was €34 pp for 3 courses and wine. The waterfront location is lovely, and the best value evening dining in Mayenne. Just 7 min stroll from L'Hotel de Herce. Seasonal menu made from fresh, seasonal products.

 LUNCH  Monday to Friday, recommend reservations for Lunch and Dinner.

Our Review:

London-style pub offers a wide selection of beers, cocktails, soft drinks, coffees and wines. In a warm atmosphere with music, terrace, sport and after work evening. Fabulous local venue just a brief stroll down the road from us. It’s popular with locals as well managed and stunning service. Great wine list, and platters of food to keep you happy for a evening out. A beautifully run business, well thought out and a great addition to the offerings in the heart of Mayenne.

Our Review: 

We loved it! The new young Chef and owner of La Forge caused a sensation when opening in summer 2020, with locals booking tables quickly to enjoy the wonderful cuisine in the beautiful village of Fountain Daniel.  "I want my restaurant to become one of the best tables in the Mayenne department." William Blondel is chasing his first Michelin star. We recommend you book a table.
