Arnage: slim pickings, mediocre food. Pizza place is passable.

Le Mans: both places on rue du Cornet, the Tajmahal and El Taquito.

Le 70 Avenue , used this place today food ok but 8:40 euros for a 2/3 full glass of Carlsberg . Service slow must be better nearby.

One of the finest restaurants in the Sarthe is at Arnage called the Auberge de Matfeux. Go south out of the town and it is on the left quite well hidden. In town, the Sept Plats is well known and a walk down the cobbled street from the cathedral will reveal a number of restaurants.

Unfortunately the rest of my group didn’t want a decent meal so we ended up eating at one of the places in the Republic square paying 29 euro for a very mediocre meal - although to be expected given the location and it was the Friday

Les bles d'or, Ruadin is superb. Went last Friday, best to book, was very busy.

Les Blés d'Or has been superb for years and is still run by the same people as when I moved here 20 years ago. Always worth a visit. Well recommended sir!

Depends what you mean by "good". I can't comment on "good == fine dining" but if it's "good == not bad/dissapointing" then most of the restaurants in Place de la Republique will be a little but of a let down. Don't get me wrong they are all perfectly fine, just a lot of generic pizzas, etc with a clear "We have lots of outside seats" mark-up applied. From memory the exception was Galand in the north corner.

If you want something a little more interesting I'd head off the north (Societe General) side of PdlR to the road that runs parallel to that side (Place de l'Emperon) and into the cross roads of cobbled alleys on the other side (just to the left of the Bombay indian restaurant). Eaten in most of those places over the years and always been happy. We eat in La Fabrique last month and really enjoyed it. Very quaffable €35 Saint-Emilion grand cru too.
