La Table du Couvent

Went for lunch without prior booking (and a lot of hope) and got very lucky to get a table for a party of 2. Absolutely great experience, from the service to the atmosphere of the place: a 13th century convent, with a fire place in the Sacristy dating back from the 16th century where your meat is grilled. Price are frankly fair for the quality, super fresh and local ingredients, and cooked to the perfection. As a starter, we shared a place of local “Cèpes” (mushrooms) literally melting on our tongue. Then we moved on the main artifact: a 180gr heart of Limousine beef Rumsteak (for me) and Filet (for my companion). Once chosen, we could see the butcher make the raw meat tender before grilling it on the fireplace. We enjoyed it so so much, it was probably one of the most tender and perfectly cooked meat we ever ate. 10/10.

First time dining at this restaurant. The service was great, food was amazing.👍🏽 The meat was 💯delicious! The side dishes we ordered were the gratin dauphinois and seasonal veggies. Will definitely come back whenever we are in limoges.

Just finished my dinner here. Everything was superb, amazing food with excellent quality and extremely accommodating staff. The design of the restaurant is extremely curated as well.

Very enjoyable to sit down there and eat, but the food didn't spin my head.

Wonderful experience. Delicious meat dishes and very professional and friendly staff. We definitely will go there again.

The food was perfect. Meat was good quality and served with some delicious potatoes gratin. Wine list was small but well curated. Chef definitely knew his stuff. Service was super uneven. The junior waiters were smart and helpful. The older guy who seemed to be the head waiter, was pretentious and very off putting. I dine in restaurants all over the world many times a week. I do not need a lecture about how things are done or not done in your country. Restaurant service is about making the customer happy, not educating them on what you think is the correct way to do something.

Very good beef and attentive service. Price was very reasonable. Thank you for their good recommendations on the choice of wine which was perfect for the steaks.

It’s hard to parse. We ordered steak. Tried to order by color and the waiter refused to even go there. Then when asked how done medium is we were told “in France there is only rare, medium rare and medium”. I’ve eaten at more Michelin stars in France than the waiter has years, and this was news to me. We ordered medium. Some steaks were medium and others were medium well. The beef was fine but nothing special. Admittedly the server was very concerned our stakes were cooked ok. We just said yes. Then we waited over 20 minutes for the table to be cleared and even longer to be asked about dessert. Desserts were good. One of the servers had such bad body oder it overwhelmed the food when he walked by.
