Have been for lunch a couple of times and love the outside courtyard right by the river. Summer menu was great, new menu maybe not quite so varied but we were all very happy with our choices. Service was very good the first visit but a bit slow the second time, although that was a weekend. However I am confused... More

I've been to Le Couvent twice. Once with family and friends over the summer where we sat outside in the elegant and pretty patio by the river and more recently when we took our friends after they had just got engaged five minutes before the booking and dined inside. (He got his knee wet on the pretty little bridge in... More

What I found most impressive wasn't the delicious meals, tranquil atmosphere, or beautifully appointed decor- it was the personal attention the staff paid to me. I felt truly welcomed from the moment I arrived to when I left. It would be a pleasure to go back.

This place is truly beautifully designed with excellent and thoughtful taste. We had a very restful night here and the staff were delightful. The only problem was the parking - none available to guests on site as all space was given over to the lovely gravel-covered outdoor area. This meant finding a space a couple of hundred metres away and... More

Thank you for your positive review of your recent stay at Le Couvent. Unfortunatly parling in Verteuil is somewhat restrictive due to the narrow streets, however as you stated parking is available relatively close by and we do offer a "load and unload" service with baggage at the front of the property and there is always someone on hnad to...

We took my mum and her partner to this restaurant last night for a meal having had it recommended to us by a neighbour. I have a special interest in interiors and gardens and found the ambience to be chic and tasteful whilst still relaxing and in keeping with the ancient historical town of Verteuil in which it is set....

I first visited Le Couvent when it first opened and was delighted to find this amazing place. I returned last month with great excitement to find things have changed. No longer were the staff as bubbly and attentive as on my first visit! Whatever has happened please sort it out before I come back to this beautiful part of France

We all had a superb gourmet meal which I can highly recommend and the service is what you would expect from a high quality establishment. The detail and presentation of the food is first class. Great steak and the scallops were cooked to perfection. Definately be going back. We are very lucky to have this restaurant close by. One of... More

We have just returned from a 4 night stay at Le Couvent for our friend's wedding. It was also our first trip abroad with our 10 month old baby. The owners Jean-Claude and Jan and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming or accommodating. We had brought some of our own food and purées for our daughter with us which... More

Excellent location (although no on-site parking) and good food, but very expensive and poor service. High basic price for the dinner menu consisting of 3 courses only. Cheese course is extra even if you do not have a dessert. No 'mise en bouche', just cheap nibbles with an aperitif. Aperitif, wine and coffee all at extra cost. Food was good,... More
