La Duchesse Anne — Restaurant in Blois

It was interesting to observe that while the place was full, it was quiet, guests were not speaking loud. Sport tv was on. The food was served fast. We ordered chevre chaud (hot goat vegetarian salad), moules marinieres, red wine, and entrecote (grilled rib steak). The salad was delicious! The muscles were cooked with lots of white onion and sprinkled with parsley; to me it was missing garlic and lemon. The entrecote had 2/3rd good edible parts, the ret was chewy and fatty; it's possible the piece was old or of not...

This is the kind of local hangout that is hard to find these days in touristy cities. A mix of locals, kids, people visiting the chateau, but an ambiance reminiscent of earlier years. Friendly servers & barman who will find you a great taxi at night. Delicious food, good advice on wine (local!) not too pricey, just right. If I lived in Blois, I’d be a regular. Plus they’re open all day even just...

Visited this brasserie for dinner before the light show at the chateau. We found the food excellent. Local beers and wines were great and well priced. The service was extremely efficient and friendly, in particular our waitress was super helpful. I hate to say as I should try harder to speak the local language, but she spoke perfect English! Would highly recommend....
