La Poule a Velo - Reservar una mesa

For the last eight years, La Poule a Vélo (the hen on a bicycle , a few miles outside Agen, has offered the opportunity to spend an evening right beside the Canal de Garonne, in idyllic surroundings (apart from the trains which sometimes pass on the other side of the waterway, but I like trains so that's O.K. In the converted lock house, owner and chef Christelle Cousset serves tasty and imaginative meals which utilise local ingredients as do the wines.

We scheduled a stop here on the advice of friends as we cycled a length of the canal and arrived on a hot sunny day. This well run bistro is very popular with both cyclists and locals offering a restaurant with a shaded outside terrace and also rustic canal side furniture. we chose to sit canal side which offers great views of the passing barges navigating the lock.

A small restaurant by the side of the canal du midi serving good quality bio food. A lovely warm welcome, great staff and a small but interesting menu. I am a vegetarian and was delighted to find a wonderful main course a rare find in France. There are 2 set menus and an a la crate menu too we had a variety of dishes and everyone enjoyed their meal. The setting is lovely and the ethos of this restaurant is excellent.

We were cruising on the canal, saw the place as we chugged past and it didn't look much. However, we stopped and the wives went back to see and we ended up enjoying a delightful quality lunch on the terrace by the canal. Limited choice but food was of a high quality and plentiful. It was very busy so you need to get there early, certainly for lunch. Highly recommended
