    • L'esscale is the bar and restaurant in Martrou, located in the former coaching inn called "Auberge de la Malle-Poste" in Échillais, a stone's throw from the Transporter Bridge opposite Rochefort.

      A true haven of peace on the banks of the Charente, this beautifully restored 18th - century building welcomes you to its terrace or its warm rooms to recharge your batteries with friends, family or alone, whether you are passing by on foot, by bike or by car.

      L'escalle
      offers drinks and seasonal food prepared from fresh and local products (homemade savory and sweet dishes, charcuterie boards, cheeses, vegetarian), with set menus from €15 to €30.

      Cultural and themed events are programmed throughout the year (exhibitions, concerts, theatre, conferences, cinema, etc.).

      The venue can be booked for private events such as company meals and family gatherings (birthdays, retirements, exam successes, etc.), with the option of live music. Brunch is available upon reservation.

    Beware of the prices. I couldn't find a website or a menu on their Facebook page. I saw a €10 main course on Google Maps. The prices have apparently changed quite a bit. €18 for the main course, €6 for the starter, and €6 for dessert, making a €30 set menu for lunch. As for drinks, since there's no menu, it's a surprise. It was good. The setting is nice. But if I had known the prices, I wouldn't have come.

    We stopped by on our way back. A very warm welcome; even our dog was welcome. The menu is very affordable and the products are high quality. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and highly recommend it. A warm welcome, a very pleasant and friendly atmosphere and setting. We will definitely return. Thank you.
