Where to find us?
At the exit of St. Junien, the Glove City, on the way to Rochechouart, cross the Notre Dame bridge and take the second road to the left at the sign to the Bois au Boeuf. Go up the steep Maluchat hill and turn left at the Lauryvan sign. There you will find our establishment, nestled amongst the trees, beside a small lake.
The Lauryvan is in fact one address but two restaurants: The Auberge which is very reasonably priced (like the inns of bygone days) and The Restaurant for appreciation of exquisitely matched food and wine. Both are run by the same enthusiastic team, headed by Laurent Breuil and his father, Michel, with the same know-how and passion for their art.
The Auberge and The Restaurant each have their own terrace from which you can enjoy views of the lovely garden.
The auberge (The inn)
Open : Tuesdays to Saturdays for lunch from 12.00 and dinner from 19.00.
Closed : Sundays, Mondays and bank holidays.
The accent is on traditional bistro food using simple, authentic, tasty ingredients.
Every Thursday when Laurent goes to market, new ideas appear on the menu alongside “the musts” and seasonal offers.
Every ingredient is carefully selected, all dishes are created on site in their kitchen and suit a range of budgets (starters from 4.00€, main courses between 9.50€ and 15.00€, and desserts from 4.50€.)
Recently a new all-inclusive option at 24.00€ was introduced for those who wish to discover a new range of flavours every week. This consists of a starter, a main course, a dessert and two glasses of wine (or a half bottle of mineral water).
The gastronomic restaurant
Open: Tuesdays to Sundays (and bank holidays) for lunch from 12.00, and Tuesdays to Saturdays for dinner from 19.00.
Closed: Sunday nights and Mondays.
The Lauryvan is well-known for its inventive gastronomy and excellent hospitality.
Here also the menu changes every Thursday offering new options and allowing the chef and his team to exercise their creative verve.
From Tuesday to Saturday the menu “Accords Mets et Vins” (Food and Wine in Harmony) is available at 40.00€.
Every Sunday and on bank holidays one can choose from three options at 32.50€, 39 € or 54.00€. The latter is available with champagne at 74.00€ per head for a minimum of two people.
Groups
The Lauryvan is able to host groups for meetings, seminars, working meals or festivities in four separate rooms, seating from 20 to 45 guests.
A private room upstairs (for 20 to 45 people) enables the independent organization of personalized events.
Tasting or discovery evenings
The Lauryvan organizes theme evenings at the request of its clients, hosted by Laurent (sommelier). Guests discover a vineyard; learn about wine making and how to taste wine (with lots of participation!). These “lessons” continue at table during a meal specially created to compliment the selected wines.
Gifts
The Lauryvan offers an original gift voucher idea: one chooses an option at 46.00€, 55.00€ or 65.00€ and the Lauryvan provides a personalized invitation card. The recipient of this gift simply has to reserve their table at their convenience and ENJOY!
