Restaurant La Belle Etoile

The La Belle Etoile restaurant in Niort has its origins in the 1930s as a guinguette and transformed into a gourmet restaurant in 1949. Since 1979, under the leadership of Claude and Laure Guignard, it has gained recognition in the Deux-Sèvres region, receiving accolades from Gault & Millau, the Michelin Guide, and the Bottin Gourmand. Today, Maxime Guignard and Jordane Vignes continue this family legacy with dedication and passion. Nestled on the banks of the Sèvre Niortaise within a lush park, the restaurant offers a refined culinary experience deeply connected to the landscape of the Marais Poitevin. Its setting provides a tranquil and nature-oriented atmosphere that complements its classic and established character. La Belle Etoile specializes in French gourmet cuisine, offering both à la carte options and menus that emphasize haute gastronomy. Beyond its culinary offerings, the venue hosts events and seminars, provides catering services, and organizes tasting classes. A takeaway service is also available, ensuring that customers can enjoy its refined flavours outside the restaurant's walls.
