This delightful restaurant is a hidden gem known for its relaxed atmosphere and delicious cuisine, making it a perfect pitstop for both locals and travelers alike.

At Patavrap Snack Relax, the menu is a delightful mix of traditional and satisfying comfort food. Their wood-fired pizzas are crafted with love and expertise, boasting a crispy crust and generous toppings that will tantalize your taste buds. Guests rave about the roasted poulet served with salad and frites, a dish that balances hearty flavors with fresh ingredients.

The dining experience is enhanced by the friendly demeanor of the staff, who are known for their patience and attentiveness. With a busy yet comfortable atmosphere, it’s no wonder patrons have praised the establishment as a perfect spot for whiling away the hours with pizza and beer while soaking in the gorgeous riverside view.

Manika Malhotra describes it perfectly when she talks about the “beautiful view of the River Vienne” and the owner’s friendly hospitality.

This roadside place was open on a national holiday Monday so would have been an oasis even if all we could get were beers and frites but in fact the roasted poulet with salad and frites was really good, and it’s a lovely location

Exceptional find whilst driving through France. Very relaxing, beautiful view of the river Vienne and the owner is super friendly. They usually accept cash only but we were able to pay using PayPal which was perfect! The stone baked pizzas were great!

Superb location and great scenery. Basic cuisine, but a pizza will do for 2 but I'll give the anchovies a wide berth next time. Definitely worth a visit

Had this at a top of a hill. Well worth a visit. Didn't have anything from the snack place because we had a packed lunch with us. Will try the food next time as it smells lovely

Lovely autumnal day by the river, excellent cappuccinos and wraps, chicken and goat's cheese. Closes end of October but should reopen about mid May
