L'Essentiel sur Poitiers

The meal is very good but not much on the plate I was hungry when I left and again I ate quite a bit of bread… Also too much waiting between each course… wine wise the 1st price syrah is really not great for the price (33€ per bottle we would like to have something better for that price). In short, the service is good, the food is good but 3 times nothing to eat and much too long 2 hours for starter-main course, half-hearted experience

Always a pleasure to share a meal at Essentiel SPC. Refined and sought-after dishes. Always well advised, I have a good time there but ultimately I don't go there often enough... 😓😅 Don't hesitate, it will be a good choice.

Excellent restaurant! Not only are the dishes of rare finesse, but also the setting is very pleasant (beautiful authentic room with freestone fireplace and exposed beams) and the service is fast, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend !

Not convinced by this restaurant, both in terms of food and atmosphere (decor). However, warm service from the team. But the potential is there, maybe I will try the experience again.

Very nice discovery. Good value for money. Very good and well presented dishes. The quality of the products is there. Very pleasant welcome and service. All in a beautiful medieval room. I recommend.

Refined cuisine, good presentation

Good dishes with fresh produce Excellent cheeses.

One of the two best restaurants in Poitiers, very fine, affordable cuisine. Worth the detour.

Nothing exceptional, the price is not justified. Furthermore, we were relegated to the entrance of the restaurant and not to the main room with a warmer style. This first experience was not really satisfactory.

A perfect place for family lunch.💫 Daily menu (it was market day) for €28, starter + main course and dessert, and a fruit juice for €4. We were hungry, and when the plates arrived, we thought it wasn't going to be enough... but it was. The dishes are very well proportioned, very well cooked. I recommend, if you are hungry, take the full menu, you will not regret. 🤌
