Restaurant La Suite à Bourges

Nice, chic and still very sociable place for fine dining. A nice menu with a great mix of some more traditionally inspired and some modern dishes. All of them prepared very nicely and to the point. It was a very pleasant dinner experience and I was impressed by the wine list that offers a large selection of great French wines in many different price ranges.

There are those restaurants mentioned as one of the best in the area and praised in the reviews so you book there a table for your friend’s birthday thinking there can not be a better place to celebrate…but you fail. Given the prices I thought it would be a proper gastronomic experience but it was not, just a chic brasserie with pumped prices and haughty staff. Once I realise the experience was not there, I thought food would be of help at least and rise the level, but it did not. The flavours were absent or strangely put together, the portions were frustrating. I am glad there was bread but I am sure they didn’t even bother think why we ordered so many rounds of it. Also, another detail that I wouldn’t mind if I had spent a good time, I totally disliked the stuffy purplish decoration and tables layout. We were on a high table right in the middle of everyone. We didn’t even feel comfortable to properly talk to each other without feeling observed.

Incredible food, the dishes are amazing and very plentiful, ordered the veal with gnocchi and loved it. The décor is very nice and modern, very well blended with the architecture of an old French building near the gallo-romain ramparts, nice atmosphere as well. Rather pricy but we'll worth the expense if you can afford it, most prices are around the 20 € range. Excellent staff and service.

Bastille Day 2017 was quite memorable because of this special dinner.

One of the best meals we have had for a long time. Fine wine, fantastic food- perfectly cooked lamb fillets, jus, truffles potatoes and assorted vegetables. Beautiful cheeses. An experience to remember on our last day in France before flying home to Australia. Back next year certainly.

Beautiful, delicious food. We spent three weeks in France eating consistently in Michelin 1 or similar restaurants. This was absolutely the worst, rudest service by the manager that we had on the trip. Went for lunch after visiting the Bourges Cathedral - magnificent by the way. Were stuck in a corner near the wine cellar and bathrooms where every person bumped us going by. Were ignored at the table for 15-20 minutes. Then only service we received was when we flagged them down. The manager was fully fluent in English but treated us terribly. We did everything we could do to meet the French expectations. We were polite, we tried to speak some French. We spoke quietly and were not demanding. It's a beautiful place with exquisite food, but I would never go back nor send anyone else. I confronted him in English and in French when we left, saying, "You did not have to make us feel so unwelcome." He pretended not to understand either language.

Delicious dishes and beautiful presentation. One of our favorite meals in France. Try to eat on the back patio if possible for wonderful ambiance

Great wine list at very fair prices , try the open wines by the glass! relaxed atmosphere in historic building near the cathedral.

The restaurant has a very Beautiful decor. Foods was delicious and customer service was good. I ordered scallop & jambon salad as entree (item 5 or 6) which had excellent fresh raw scallop thin slices and rabbit meat wrapped by bacon as plat/main dish (item 3 from the menu). Also, they offered a free salmon & grain chip as a starter and delicious bread (its like baguette). I'd come back again.
