Latour-Marliac-Cafe Marliacea

We visited Latour-Marliac for the lily garden and on finding they had a restaurant opted to have lunch. On approaching the seating area were asked if we had reserved - we hadn't and the empty tables were said to be reserved. We were offered a tiny table by the toilets and took it rather than waste our entrance fee by leaving in search of food elsewhere, having seen less than half of what was to be seen. It was not a very pleasant eating area and there was insufficient shade from the overhanging vines. We thought, thinking back, that we had seen something about a price reduction on the meal to credit the entrance fee when we came in, but didn't remember what it actually said when it was time to pay. The food was merely adequate! We both chose from the day's menu board. I had an extremely small parmentier of confit de canard with salad; my partner the burger, which was OK with curly frites. Our desserts were supposed to be ice-cream based but mine was a glass of aerosol-spray cream with a few still-frozen red fruits mixed through it and two small pieces of meringue. I didn't complain as it was, at least, refreshing on the hot day. Staff were clearly still learning their jobs and service was rather hit and miss, with no-one actually having responsibility for our table, so we were asked the same thing by different servers. The food bill was 40 euros exactly for the two of us. Admittedly cheap but it seemed odd that two courses should be more expensive than the three of the MdJ off the same menu! It seems unlikely that people would be eating there without having paid an entrance fee to get in, so I think the pricing policy needs reconsidering. If they want to keep it that way then they should explicitly show the entrance fee reduction on the bill, so that customers can see how it is worked out. Alternatively a notice at the entrance saying that all (?) meals in the restaurant are reduced by the entrance fee amount, if that is the case. It appears that we were effectively charged more for two courses from the MdJ than all three would have cost us so maybe the reduction only applies to the whole MdJ, which is just daft, and it's simply not on. If the restaurant is popular, as it seems to be due to the captive customer base, then more space is needed and overall improvement. The attraction itself is worth 5 stars, the restaurant and pricing policy only 1 or 2.

A wonderful out of the way place with the most beautiful water gardens. A fascinating history with links to Monet and his many wonderful water lilly paintings. A great menu at a really reasonable price.
