We went here on a recommendation from our accommodation and were not disappointed. The service was prompt, the food was excellent and we would certainly return. It is a small place and fills up fairly quickly so you either need to book or arrive early on nights when it's potentially busy.

Delicious food, good quality wine and excellent service from this authentic French restaurant. Book a table or risk being disappointed.

We found this place, full of atmosphere, while strolling near the Blois chateau. The place is small, the food is good. So good, in fact, that we returned for a second meal several days later. They even have vegetarian options (one night I had an omelette with a green salad.)

Excellent french restaurant, great food, friendly staff. We ate here twice because it was so good. On the second occasion my wife and I both had the beef casserole which was absolutely delicious - proper home cooking. Thoroughly recommended

This was a restaurant whose name we did not want to forget. Had one of those memorial dinners that you talk about after your vacation is over. Can't remember what we ate, but the food and the ambience left us with a warm feeling, and the staff was lovely.

We ate here one lunchtime - guided there by the reviews that we read on trip advisor. We wished we hadn't The ambiance is great and is exactly as we expected. Very rustic and small as we thought it would be, and we sat down to pre-lunch drinks feeling happy... The starter was fine and we can't fault the main,... More

The atmosphere and the location caught our attention: typical and historical. Simple, kind and quick service. But the food quality is average: you can clearly feel that they made a touristic choice and not a quality choice. Correct price.

Thankfully, we made a reservation because there were many people turning up and had to wait for around 30 minutes. The menu is in French only and is very traditional - more importantly, it was delicious. The staff are rushed off their feet and they appear quite manic and yet the dining experience is chilled out ambience. It takes a... More
