We stopped here purely by chance. The village, with a population of around 120, is classed as ‘one of the prettiest villages in France’ and is lovely. The lunch menu in this restaurant was just 12€80 and included a buffet of charcuterie and salads to start with, followed by either a pork chop or turkey with a mushroom sauce and a choice between french beans or a gratin of pasta, we had three desserts to choose from. Very simple, but absolutely nothing to complain about. Service was pleasant and efficient.
We live twenty minutes or so down the road from Mortemart and have thought about eating at the Relais for some time, today we did. It lived up to our expectations, the staff were superb, quite happy as one would expect in France to allow our one year old Labrador into the restaurant and provided her with a bowl of water. The lunch was superb, 15,80euros for the menu of the day. Well cooked well presented and we’ll be back for more. Just can’t understand why we left it so long to visit!
We ate dinner based on the reviews on here and weren't disappointed. Slightly pricey but then we did go for the €45 option. Foie Gras delicious, steak was beautiful. They really looked after our little boy (beware there is no child's menu though so you do have to have a smaller version of adults meal) We were the only people eating but we were sat outside so it made no difference. Beautiful food, great service and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Been meaning to go in for a while and decided today on passing, we had been put off by earlier reviews, but we shouldn't have listened. Good food, well cooked, we had the plat du jour, 13€ starter, main, desert and wine, all well cooked, the other menus looked amazing and the food coming out was so well presented and cooked. The owners husband and wife team, couldn't have been more pleasant, can't wait to return.

following recommendations from locals we tried the restaurant and we were very disappointed with the service and food. The starters came in plastic boxes straight from the fridge and were passable, the second course was pleasant, but the main course and desert were tasteless ...the desert was also cold and had come from the fridge. All in all not worth the money.
If you are in this area this is a must stop. The service and the food are impeccable. The desserts are homemade and out of this world. The decor is also very nice. Spend an hour in the nice little town Le Relis is in. Mouselin with red fruits is the best dessert my wife says she has ever had in France.
Have had mixed reviews for this place and was warned about it by a few locals. However every visit we made was a positive experience. The waitresses were very attentive and the food and drinks we were served were excellent. The owner was also very attentive and helpful. Couldn't fault it.
Have been to this restaurant twice now, the service is excellent very welcoming and the food is always amazing it is well worth a visit the French Cuisine is stunning . You can sit inside or out in the summer . A fabulous Menu .

We happen to stop here for lunch. Best of luck. We really enjoyed our meal. Beet salad. Duck, .25 l wine for 18 euros. Can not beat it. A must stop. Little English is spoken.
We visit this area each year and tend to eat here each year on a visit to Oradour or St Junien. Excellent food. Just finished a great menu du jour for 13€. Loved it.
