We hadn’t been to Bassiviere for some time so we’re looking forward to it. O my 4 tables of diners and a very nice duo playing music. It is 2 or 3 courses and you choose fish or meat for the main. I chose fish. They served me lamb then forgot the desert but still charged me until I pointed out the mistake. This whole thing took over 2.5 hours which wasn’t so bad as we had a quiet baby and were enjoying the music. What’s it like when it’s full!?

Just disappointed that they served the wrong main course and I didn’t want to wait another hour for them to get it right

Do not go here - terrible service - overpriced food of very poor quality and very very slow service - don’t be seduced by the location - also I was told they catered for Gluten free and sent an email in advance, no Gluten free 

terrible restaurant 

Simply amazing! Ilse is a lovely host and the gites are perfect! We had everything we could need! We stayed in apartment 3 which has great views of the valley. Especially in the evening the sunset is breathtaking! The pool is very clean and the sunloungers are comfortable. It’s nearby a lot of stunning medieval villages as well as some cities for shopping but definitely no high street tourism which we really liked. The restaurant of Bassiviere is wonderfull as well! We had a lovely dinner as well as a chill and delicous lazy lunch on sunday. We had a great stay and will definitely come back!

Perfect stay!

The setting is beautiful, the atmosphere is extra music, the reception is cold, the average service where we serve you beer with ice cream. With a unique menu for 39.50 euros, you expect a lot better in the plate. You feel like you've been duped. I won't step back in it.

Poor restaurant for the price

This was our first visit to Bassiviere restaurant but sadly probably our last.   The setting is lovely and our waitress was very friendly and greeted us upon arrival which was a refreshing change.   However, we were disappointed with our meal.   We had no idea of the price before we arrived but were happy to pay a bit more than usual as it was our 34th wedding anniversary.   We were informed lunch was a formula and the cost was 39,50 which before eating we were OK about.   However, what let it down for us was the limited choice and the quality.  There were only two choices of starter - cucumber gazpacho (cold soup) or goats cheese salad.  Mains choice was duck or a vegetarian dish and desserts either panna cotta or a rhubarb type pie.  A mise en bouche was served at the beginning and there was a glass of champagne served inbetween courses.   The goats cheese salad was nice but neither of us liked the very hard nut served in the salad.   We both had duck which was average and served with only rocket and a few pototoes, overcooked and a bit tough.   Panna cotta was very hard set and the rhubarb came with squirty cream out of a tin and not much taste to it.   All in all I know we can go out for lunch elsewhere and be offered any type of salad, duck & chips and a dessert for around 15 euros so not sure where they come up with 39,50 for an additional mise en bouche and a glass of champagne?  A real shame because its a lovely setting and they had live music arrive as we were finishing so it could have been a very pleasant afternoon had the food been better for the price we paid.

Overpriced food

We've finally been able to take our vacation that was originally planned for 2020 after moving twice and finding it much nicer here than in the photos. Of course, you have to be clear that a converted barn is not a five-star luxury resort. There may even be a small insect crawling through the kitchen, but the comment from October 2021 is absolutely exaggerated. The furnishings are great and very suitable. The view from our apartment (No. 1) is crazy! The whole property is very lovingly maintained and there are small beautiful decorations everywhere.

Even more beautiful than expected

We have just finished our second dinner in the Bassiviere Restaurant and our first negative impression was even topped: the place is really very nice and the waitress is extremly friendly and nice. BUT: the owners are just unfriendly or maybe just ignorant and the food is completely overpriced. We had one starter to share and ordered a small salad with this starter (one single fig filled with gorgonzola, which was very good) and had 30€ on the bill for just one fig and a very small side salad. Also the mains are overpriced. Really a pitty, such a nice place with owners who are obviously not interested in their guests (no hello, no anything) and too high prices. So no recommendation, there are much better places in the area with so nice staff and owners.

Nice place but terrible owners and far too high prices

We've been coming to Bassiviere for years. The place is fabulous. The decor is gorgeous. It's a place we love. Today, jazzy atmosphere. A pure treat. The duo walked us out with sweet songs. Meal side, cold shower. You either decide to review your card or change your cooking. A few examples: squash served in a juice, with a few lemon round. No meals, no meals. No rice, no vegetables. Another example, the tatarian, chopsticks like flowers. In my opinion, frozen. The fade to accompany, to enhance. It was a price, nothing to taste. I also rarely ate a dish without a taste, because I didn't think I should eat it, and I don't think I should eat it.

Sunday dinner is jazzy.

Despite the idyllic location with a beautiful view, unfortunately, we did not have a holiday mood. We could certainly have seen the misfortune of waiting for over 1 hour with cold main dishes in the restaurant. Poor style, but it is not possible to miss the holidays. After the first sleepless night, however, we were so relieved that we shortened our vacation. All the bedrooms are in the upstairs room, where there are no windows or ventilation. Despite the complaints that were quite cramped, loud and incorrectly connected to the restaurant, it is not possible to sleep. In addition, it is possible to smell from the upstairs room, including the missing floors.

More appearance than being

On our arrival on a gray, rainy autumn day in early October, we were instantly caught up in the warm atmosphere of our holiday home. Charismatic and very sympathetic hosts, we invited them to an Apero and learned how they could fulfill their life's dream here with heart-blood. Ilse is an interior designer and has created a small paradise with a great deal of attention to detail. Joseph is a master of Coi's profession, his parents in Holland have a salon with 40 chairs. Here he visits the many stalls and bathrooms around us. He is very soulful and cares about everything, Joseph is the right pool, he feels the races in the huge courtyards and he has a small repair shop.
