Welcome to Le Quatre-Epices

“ Last night out at a restaurant as a couple. We really enjoyed the dishes. A great discovery. We'll do it again. Rated Gault et Millau, a guarantee of quality. ”

“ Refined cuisine and very well served. Original presentation and rather generous portions. Service needs work: no bread, a missing steak knife, and a spoon not immediately replaced. Still, the value for money is good. The apple tart could be reworked to allow more room for the apple and make it a little lighter. ”

“ We were intrigued to see this seemingly out of place gourmet restaurant on the edge of a campsite in the middle (with respect) of nowhere. But this was a really nice, serene idyll of calm set in a beautiful lakeside park in the Mayenne, Loire, in a little town called Craon. We had read the reviews at home and decided we'll give it a go when we get there. A few days into the holiday our curiosity rewarded us, we took up their offer of a 'take home' meal, which was actually quite delicious, and we returned with gusto to eat lunch there each remaining day of our holiday. The atmosphere was calm, stately and measured, we and all the diners were in a state of pleasure and respect, savouring every mouthful. Slowly. There was a healthy clientele every day, some businessmen, some holidaymakers and just a few passers by; we chose to sit outside but noticed the faithful were in numbers inside too.The staff were marvellously attentive, not too bustling but just enough to be 'on hand', and the food was just, well, perfect.I'm no expert, but it was just delicious, simple, and natural, and that was good enough for me There is a menu on their website, but obviously 'specials' and their chosen 'plats du jour' are changed regularly. I really would be very happy to return soon, sadly it's a long way from home. But if you're anywhere near Craon, seek it out. It's a gem. And I wish the proprietors all the best, and thanks. ”

“ I would say the Best restaurant in Craon a very pleasant Saturday evening. ”

“ The menus are a bit pricey, but they offer new flavors. There isn't a huge selection, but quality is what counts. I made a mistake in my order; I should have asked more questions before deciding. The armchairs are very comfortable. The dining room is a bit noisy. ”

“ My 2025 favorite! A perfect balance of dishes, portions, and colors, beautifully presented in a stylish and modern setting. The fish was presented in an original way, cooked to perfection, and accompanied by a succulent sauce with a lovely harmony of green and yellow hues. The colorful plates were elegantly arranged, with dishes garnished with a few flowers. The soft red fruit crumble dessert topped with mango sorbet was delicious. The dining room has a lovely, harmonious decor in a calm atmosphere, very close to the pond and the campground. You can eat inside or outside, and in between, thanks to the French doors opening onto the terrace. The service was pleasant, and the staff discreet and reserved. Excellent value for money. A set lunch menu is available on weekdays for €21.50, or €25 with cheese. Please note that dinner is only served on Fridays and Saturdays. ”

“ A very warm welcome, and the food was a delight! Original cuisine, beautifully presented. We'll be back! ”

“ Thank you to Nathan and the team at Maison C for this incredible culinary experience. The photos speak for themselves; the food was delicate and the portion size was perfect. Set menu at €36 ”
