My wife and I had lunch at Les Annees 30 when we arrived in Chinon. This was quite fine dining, with all three courses impressing. The wines accompaniments were also excellent. Our French is good enough, so we did everything in French, which I am sure was appreciated by our server. The setting is an old house that has been... More

We went on a long weekend in the Loire valley and although we ate well all along the way, Les Annees 30 was the best food we had on this trip. A nice little restaurant with friendly staff and, most importantly, a cook who dares very original flavour combinations and manages to pull them off! Menu prices are very reasonable... More

The menu de jour is excellent value. I will be returning to try more of the menu. Do book so as not to be disappointed. Thursday is market day in... More

I asked a local where was the best place to eat in Chinon and he said here. He was wrong - this is the best palce in the Loire Valley. It has excellent food, friendly service and a superb decor & atmosphere. They don't always have an english version of the menu but will help translate where possible. You will... More

Week before Easter so there wasn't much open in Chinon so booked this one online - wasn't disappointed. Food was excellent and the wine so good I went to the vineyard and bought a couple of cases the following day. Would recommend this restaurant but suggest booking ahead as I would expect it will be busy in the season

We had a great diner. I had scallops and my wife monkfish both excellent. The desserts, particularly the chocolate mousse with lavender ice-cream, amazing!! Is not cheap, but food of this quality in the US would cost more.

We were delighted with the friendly welcome, the 17 euro menu that included 2 courses and a glass of wine. The food was exquisite and the wines were very acceptable. Upstairs ther was... More

In one week my wife and I went twice for lunch. The first time we had the two course fixed price menu with a total of 5 glasses of local wine at a total cost of... More
