OUR PHILOSOPHY
Local cooking that puts our producers first
Looking for a restaurant in Moissac with local cooking, growers you actually know, seasonal vegetables, and recipes that mean something? That’s exactly what you’ll find at Restaurant Chez Ma Poule. It opens its doors in September 2026, right in the heart of town.
Behind the kitchen is also a warm pilgrim guesthouse, designed to welcome passing travellers and pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago.
“A desire to showcase simple, flavourful cuisine, celebrate local producers, and delight the taste buds with authentic, well-balanced dishes..”

LOCAL PRODUCE & SHORT SUPPLY CHAINS
It all starts with seasonal produce, carefully sourced from growers in the Tarn-et-Garonne and the surrounding area. Market gardeners, farmers, winemakers: the menu follows what they have to offer, week by week. And as a nod to the family’s roots in northern France, a little touch of the North sometimes finds its way in to surprise your taste buds
A SHORT MENU, REFRESHED
EVERY SEASON
No endless list here: a handful of starters and mains, a small selection of carefully made desserts, and — above all — a dish of the day. Less, but better. Every main course is thoughtfully prepared for a meal that’s as satisfying as it is balanced.

AN ORIGINAL IDEA
Eat your fill: Vitality or Energy Boost
Because a marathon runner and someone with a desk job don’t have the same needs, every dish is available in two portion sizes — same dish, same quality.
Vitality
A smaller portion
Energy Boost
A heartier portion
