Spent 3 nights in the Loire Valley staying at Les Sources in Cheverny. We came to Granica for our final dinner to round up our entire France trip.

My wife and I opted the 7 course tasting menu and was incredibly impressed. Flavors, presentation and creativity were exceptional. The dishes I would single out were the Foie Gras, Cabbage with French Caviar and the Chocolate Desert.

Certainly worthy of the star and you could make an argument it deserves two. The new layout of the restaurant is modern all while not being stuffy at all. Will be...

My wife and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary at La Vieille Tour in Celettes while on a family trip in France and we could not be more pleased with our experience.

The atmosphere was also very inviting, in a rustic yet elegant setting of thick stone walls and warm wooden beams. Finally, the different menu types allow people to have a gastronomic experience without breaking the bank. We will definitely be back on our next...
