We looked for a nice place to have lunch when we did stay in the area for a few days. Chinon was just a 10' drive away and this place looked amazing. There's a small parking lot just below the restaurant (new adress in case Google didn't change it: 73 rue haute saint Maurice), which was very convenient. Paid by meter.

We made a reservation on this weekday, which turned out smart, since the place was fully booked for lunch. Inside it's a very classy, comfy setting. There's also a pretty courtyard, but it was a rainy day.

We both chose the Set Menu "M" for a very fair 48 Euros each. An excellent Amuse Bouche started the meal - a very nice seafood bisque. For the starters we chose the Foie Gras Chaud Réduction Acidulée de Vin Rosé et Cerises Pickels de Baie de Goji and the Terrine de Foie Gras au Calvados Compotée de Pomme au Vinaigre de cidre Tuiles aux Algues. Both amazing choices, especially if you're into Foie Gras like us. The hot Foie Gras was so tender, it was really melting on our tongues. Not that easy to find hot Foie anymore. And this one was divine.

For mains we've had the Filet de Veau (veal) Rôti cuit a Basse Temperature Sauce Aigre Douce à la Poire et Jus de Canard Poire Pochée and the Ris de Veau Braisé (sweetbreads) au Mies Réduction de Coteau du Layon au Citron Vert Duxelle de Champignons. A very tender, juicy piece of veal. Cooked to perfection. And the Ris de Veau was the best one I've ever had. Amazing dish.

Both dessert were also delicous. That's where many restaurants struggle. Not so here, the desserts were as amazing as the other dishes.

Had a bottle of Crémant with the meal, which went very well with the Foie and the meat.

Staff/owner were all wonderful, helpful and made us feel welcome. Welcome was also our Bulldog inside the restaurant.

Food quality, execution, presentation, hospitality. All on top level. A perfect lunch experience. And fair priced as well. Surely we'll be back one day.
