Bistrot de Lucullus

in our experience the menu du jour at le lucullus is always imaginatiw, well prepared and presented. comfortable environment and friendly staff.

Had a meal here with friends who frequent the restaurant and it did not disappoint. The scallops to start were amazing as was the 6 mini desserts.

This is a really great restaurant in Montmorillon. I had a three course meal with the Fois gras, the lobster in cognac butter, and a lovely desert. Yes the Lobster in congac butter was even better than it Sounds. The house wine is very good. We went with a large group of friends, drank a good bit of wine and the bill was something like 50 Euros a person.

the eating was wonderful as the ambiente, enjoyed by my wife and two friends (for which this was a first visit). for the first time I have two little critikens. I had to ask twice that the carafe of the water. be filled, and also had to ask more brot to mop the delicious sauces. as I said, little cripples. the weeping we chose were great, and so good to find a bio chinon perfect. of course we should visit again.

We enjoyed every mouthful. This is fine dining at it's best, we had langustine and foie gras starters, lamb cutlets roasted turbot and mixed mint and chocolate dessert all extremely delicious. We spoke briefly to the chef and he apologised if any dish was not...up to standard due to the 40 degree heatwave if this was sub standard god knows what the standards are here. Staff extremely professional. Can not wait to go back next year

we have faced with our children after regaining the people, we had eaten in the bistro night before and beautiful, so tempted restaurant what a let down. no apertifs arrived, then start eating so badly made minenmus suppchele with a stroh, mainvene so fat and chew...weh a risotto, the kartoffel rosti resembled it was a recovered risotto and whisper a strong smelling cheese with aprikosen, server need lost and had better go away to a highway service station, they should not go away.

Booked the restaurant on an overnight stop on the way home from the south. Had memories of one of the best meals of our lives some 6 years before. We weren’t disappointed. Fabulous amuse bouches of tiny fried eggs and foie brûlées, a wonderful savoury...sorbet, excellent starters of spidercrab cake and monkfish, delicious mains of duck and lamb with an excellent chinon recommended to us by the waitress. A lovely rich chocolate tart to finish and a lovely coffee and Get 27 to round off a great meal. Still rocking it Lucullus. Well done!

This was my father 's favourite. We visited with friends to mark his recent passing. We were extremely disappointed. It seems the chef of Lucullus had also died and the replacement IMO is not in the same class. I skipped appetisers and had carre d 'agneau. It...was tough and sinewy to the point that I had to ask for another, sharper knife. My mother had red snapper she reported it as OK . She had a selection of desserts giant portions of different things, rather than little tastes as before. The cheeseboard was very disappointing tiny slivers of not very appealing selection. Six goat and only three cow. The best part of the meal was the amuse bouche a fried quail 's egg and a foie gras brull...

actually our second visit first went on our way down to the dordogne, loved it so much, made sure we returned to vendee again. despite the booking, it was absolutely incredible again. complimentary amuse bouches .seared tuna or a cream brûlée with foie gras sounds strange, but was delicious, so clever. then came another free flavor booster, a melon sorbet with few strips of raw or hardened bark and a bit of meat sauce. sounds strange again, but surprisingly delicious. I had the steak, my wife had the tuna rossini (again, a new taste for us), both were simply inspired and beautifully cooked. but it was the dessert that triggered me a chocolate thing that, when I described, would lose the magi...
