    (Translated by Google) it is good to eat there, to work there in view of the completely toxic team is something else (Original) il fait bon y manger, y travailler au vu de l'équipe tout à fait toxique c'est autre chose

    (Translated by Google) Exceptional Restaurant! we ate really very well. The wine suggestion was perfect and made us discover a very good white wine. The architecture of the place is also splendid. We recommend with eyes closed. (Original) Restaurant Exceptionnel ! on a vraiment très bien mangé. La suggestion de vin était parfaite et nous a fait découvrir un très bon vin blanc. L' Architecture du lieu est elle aussi splendide. Nous recommandons les yeux fermés.

    (Translated by Google) Unable to go to the restaurant, we had the restaurant come to us. Meal delivered to home by bike on time and still hot. The pasta with Saint Jacques was delicious (the sauce 🤤) and plentiful. Excellent foie gras as well as the desserts 🧁. We will do the experience again, but this time hoping it will be in the Vrai restaurant. (Original) Ne pouvant aller au restaurant, nous avons fait venir le restaurant a nous . Repas livré à domicile à vélo à l’heure prévue et encore tout chaud . Les pâtes aux Saint Jacques étaient délicieuses (la sauce 🤤) et copieuses . Foie gras excellent ainsi que les desserts 🧁. Nous referons l’expérience mais cette fois ci en espérant que ce soit dans le Vrai restaurant.

  • 5/5 Antoine G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Excellent place of the Poitevin world. The interior is absolutely beautiful, rich in history. A place where, before the Covid turned everything upside down, we could share pleasant moments with family or friends around cocktails reviewed and expertly prepared by the barman, or travel for a meal , at a very affordable price. The team is really human, warm and attentive. Since the arrival of the virus, many dishes and cocktails have been offered to take away, waiting for better days when we can once again enjoy them on site. I recommend ! (Original) Excellent lieu du monde Poitevin. L’intérieur est absolument magnifique, riche en histoire. Un lieu où, avant que le Covid vienne tout chambouler, l’on pouvait partager d’agréables moments en famille ou entre amis autour de cocktails revus et préparés d’une main de maître par le barman, ou voyager le temps d’un plat, au prix tout à fait abordable. L’équipe est vraiment humaine, chaleureuse et à l’écoute. Depuis l’arrivée du virus, de nombreux plats et cocktails sont proposés à emporter, en attendant les jours meilleurs où nous pourrons à nouveau les déguster sur place. Je recommande !

    (Translated by Google) A bit of a wait at the start but it was worth the cost: excellent and well presented dishes! The service is pleasant and the place superb, both historic and atypical! Perfect to celebrate an event 🎉 (Original) Un peu d'attente au départ mais cela vallait le coût : plats excellents et bien présentés !

  • 4/5 Orchidée B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Original setting, very pleasant. Dishes well presented and quite good. Menus with good value for money. Perfect food and wine pairing, lovely discoveries. The only downside with the Arabica dessert, ice melted and bitterness too intense for the ganache, but it's a matter of taste. Perfect service. Children's meals served very quickly, it was ideal. To be done again if we return to the region. Little attention for my birthday (it was great). (Original) Cadre original, très agréable. Plats bien présentés et plutôt bons. Menus avec un bon rapport qualité prix. Accord mets et vins parfait, jolies découvertes. Seul petit bémol sur le dessert arabica, glace arrivée fondue et amertume trop intense pour la ganache, mais c'est une question de goût. Service parfait. Repas enfants servis très rapidement, c'était idéal. A refaire si nous repassons dans la région. Petite attention pour mon anniversaire (c'était super).

  • 5/5 thierry p. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very pleasant, in an idyllic setting. Between the courses a little distant. A presentation of the plate to the mouth a treat. To come back (Original) Très agréable, dans un cadre idyllique. Entre les plats un peu loing. Une présentation de l'assiette à la bouche un régal. A revenir

  • 4/5 Darren R. 1 year ago on Google
    High-end cooking, though the menu is not especially exciting. The restaurant space, in a renovated church, is impressive, however, and the ambience and service was agreeable.

  • 5/5 Kalina T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good food and the wine pairings were grea, the staff was amazing

  • 2/5 Robert J. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was such a disappointment. So little squid with the starter The fish served was not plaice. The veal was VERY tough. Generally lacked seasoning. NOT michelin standard! However, the waiter tried hard.

  • 5/5 Colin C. 8 months ago on Google
    We found them welcoming and helpful, in a calm and convivial atmosphere for our annual English /French get together.

  • 3/5 Anita C. 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant is beautiful. The appetizers were delicious. I had the veal and it was nearly inedible. Service was not great either. But a lovely setting!

  • 4/5 Mike U. 5 months ago on Google
    We had a wonderful meal here to celebrate a big birthday. Everything was excellent, especially the service we received. If forced to express one tiny criticism, it was that the food might have been served a little hotter. But we would return time and again to this stylish restaurant with great pleasure.

  • 2/5 Mark P. 5 months ago on Google
    Visited again after a few years. Service was pleasant, but staff lacked direction. €40 minimum for a bottle of wine! Lots of tables just had water. Expensive food for what you got. Booked Hotel Mercure adjoining from previous experience Won't rush back for either!

  • 5/5 Kylian Le B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I loved the style of the store their dishes are extremely good and beautiful their restaurant combines expertise and quality (Original) J ai adoré le style du magasin leur plat sont extrêmement bon et beau leur restaurant marie savoir faire et qualité

  • 4/5 Chris M. 4 years ago on Google
    A very nice restaurant with quite an innovative menu that will spoil you for choice. Also an extensive wine list with good Local features. The atmosphere was very pleasant being located in the re purposed archives of Poitiers, however it was quite busy as it is attached to the Mecure Hotel. It is a popular restaurant. If you are staying in Poitiers or just passing through, it is well worth the visit.

  • 5/5 Supavadee J. 4 years ago on Google
    Great experience to have tasty food in the old chapel!

  • 5/5 Max D. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful but pricy restaurant. Waiters were explicit and polite. Internal is very nice with beautiful high ceilings.

  • 5/5 Mihai B. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent menu, interesting setting (former chapel and then city archives)

  • 4/5 Anne H. 6 years ago on Google
    I took the vegetarian menu and it seems to be missing something in its flavor. Beautiful interior in a former Jesuit school.

  • 4/5 Jean-Christophe B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Cause CoVid they currently offer menus on weekdays at 13 € 50 starter, main course or main course dessert. Very well made. (Original) Cause CoVid ils proposent en ce moment des menus en semaine à 13€50 entrée plat ou plat dessert. De très bonne facture.

  • 2/5 Sandra M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Disappointed. We used to go there and it was always a great time. But there, the very disappointing click and collect. I wanted to give my spouse a birthday present. The starters (foie gras and salmon): correct without more. The dishes (tagine): very good sauce with a little dry meat. Linguine buturnut and cod: tasteless almost no sauce too large amount of pasta (like semolina from the tagine) it was bland, served coarsely. There was not at all the fancy touch that we used to know before. Desserts: avocado lemon tart: too sweet, the lemon takes on all the flavor. We wondered if Les Archives has changed its chef? (Original) Déçue. On avait l'habitude d'y aller et c'était toujours un très bon moment. Mais là, le click and collect très décevant. J'ai voulu faire un cadeau d'anniversaire à mon conjoint. Les entrées (foie gras et saumon) : correct sans plus. Les plats (tajine) : sauce très bonne avec viande un peu sèche. Linguines buturnut et cabillaud : sans saveur presque pas de sauce trop grande quantité de pâtes (comme la semoule du tajine) c'était fade, servi grossièrement. Il n'y avait pas du tout la touche raffinée que nous avions l'habitude de connaître avant. Desserts : tarte avocat citron : trop sucré, le citron prend toute la saveur. On s'est demandé si Les Archives ont changé de chef cuistot ?

  • 5/5 Denis V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) One of the best restaurants in Poitiers. Its click and collect service has been working tremendously since the pandemic. The dishes are delicate and tasty. A staple for my wife and myself for years. (Original) L'un des meilleurs restaurants de Poitiers. Son service click and collect marche du tonnerre depuis la pandémie. Les mets sont délicats et savoureux. Un incontournable pour mon épouse et moi-même depuis des années.

    (Translated by Google) Too bad the refined flavors fade because of the waiting time for the dishes ... (Original) Dommage que les saveurs raffinées s'estompent à cause du temps d'attente des plats...

  • 5/5 sylvain c. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) In full containment and therefore in full closure of restaurants, this notice will only relate to the menu taken by click & collect during this month for a meeting / lunch at the office. Starter / main course / dessert formula for only € 15 and everything was delicious, tasty, very hot. No hesitation to have until the reopening, the experience is to be repeated without hesitation. In addition, the welcome is extremely warm, professional with respect for sanitary conditions. (Original) En plein confinement et donc en pleine fermeture des restaurants, cet avis ne portera que sur le menu pris en clic & collect au cours de ce mois pour une réunion/déjeuner au bureau. Formule entrée/plat/ dessert pour seulement 15€ et tout était délicieux, goutu, bien chaud. Aucune hésitation à avoir jusqu’à la réouverture, l’expérience est à renouveler sans hésitation. De surcroît l’accueil est extrêmement chaleureux, professionnel avec le respect des conditions sanitaires.

  • 3/5 Philippe G. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a magical setting, impeccable and charming service but the plate served did not live up to the promises on the menu. The candied lamb read on the menu turned into a roast lamb on the plate! (Original) C'est un cadre magique, un service impeccable et charmant mais l'assiete servie n'etait pas à la hauteur des promesses du menu. L'agneau confit lu sur le menu s'est transformé en agneau roti dans l'assiete !

  • 5/5 walkwithdeath 3 years ago on Google
    Classy restaurant that delivers what it promises... Located in an old religious complex in the city centre of Poitiers, Les Archives is a restaurant that delivers on its promises of fine dining and romance, without breaking the bank. The building itself is a masterpiece, guarding its old, religious beauty with a more modern approach. The service is second to none, with a delightful and charmful maitre d'. 3 course menus are very affordable, starting at around 28 euros as of Oct 2020. Pair it with two glasses of great wine (10 euros) for a remarkable experience. Their Poire Belle Helene was one of the best desserts I have ever had since moving to France about 15 years ago. A must!
