Exceptional restaurant in Le mans downtown. Found this place on Unilocal and we glad we did. We were looking for authentic traditional French food. Home made from scratch, we tried many of the dishes and we haven’t been disappointed at all. The head chef William Sarazin know what taste and flavor means. What an amazing lunch !!! On the front of the house, things got even better, Matthieu, our host, server and also owner took care of us from A to Z. Very knowledgeable in food and wine pairing. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Contemporary rustic décor. The environment is laid-back yet elevated. The bar area has a first-come, first-served seating which is great during peak times without a reservation. A seasonal menu in flux with an emphasis on elevated traditional French cooking. It is apparent that fair amount of effort went into finding and retaining top talent. It is always refreshing to experience a meal being served by the owner. The wait staff knows their menu backwards and forwards. Bottom line: If you are looking for a laid-back fine dining experience that is sure to satisfy your taste buds, look no further. Le Mans have found another great terrific place to enjoy a great meal at very reasonable price.

AMATEURSDEBONNESTABLESET D’AMBIANCECHALEUREUSE Nous sommes toujours curieux de découvrir les nouveaux restaurants. Nous avons donc eu le plaisir de diner chez Popote et Papilles. Nous avons été très satisfaits d’une part par la qualité de la cuisine qui est élaborée sur place. Tout est fait maison, très bien présenté et copieux. Le service est chaleureux et efficace. L’ambiance et le confort du restaurant répondent à nos attentes. Une addition tout à fait correct. Finalement c’est le genre de restaurant où l’on peut retourner régulièrement car il y a des plats nouveaux tous les jours et parkings à proximité.
