Tell us your favourite restaurant in Poitou Charentes
Poitou-Charentes has no fewer than six Michelin starred restaurants within its boundary, including the two-starred restaurant of Richard and Christopher Coutanceau, overlooking the harbour in La Rochelle.
In the course of our duties we have sampled none of these, primarily because you need a bank-loan if you're taking the family. But, we have had some really good inexpensive food at places we've more or less stumbled upon, and we think there are some gems out there waiting to be discovered.
We're relying on you to give us some hints and tips on the best restaurants you have been to in the region. Whether you live here or have recently taken a holiday here, we want to hear about your experiences.
Tell us the name of the establishment, where it is and why it was so good.

Re: Tell us your favourite restaurant in Poitou Charentes
I've already talked about 'The Charentaise' but, value for money you can't beat 'Francine' which is located inside the main Geant complex at Gond Pontouvre. The frontage shows Chinese food on offer as take away to cook, or is already cooked. Behing that is a tiny restaurant for maximum 20 people. They specialise in Vietnamese/Chinese food and they obviously have a fabulous chef as the flavours are just out of this world. It's euros 9,00 for three courses and euros 6,00 for two. We've been there three times recently, now greeted as old friends, and the food just seems to get better. A great place to rest those feet in the middle of a shopping spree. They do speak English (french, german and Vietnamese!).
