Bistrot l'Amboisie — Restaurant in Loches

We had the lamb tagine with vegetable couscous. The service was good. The food was very bad.

We arrived just before the kitchen closed, and so while the waiter was clearly rushing us, they did accept our order. We did not push our luck by asking for a table outside, and ambience wise the terrace on the back looked nicer than the inside, but was still a good option.
