Auberge Pom'Poire — Restaurant in Tours

My wife and I took a road trip through France during October 2015. We took a Brittany Ferry to Bilbao and then drove into France, stopping initially in the Pyrenees and journeying on to the Dordogne and finally catching a ferry home from Ouistreham. The road trip was a combined gourmet experience and sightseeing trip. All the hotels we stayed at were in the Logis Network. The Logis Network is a group of independently owned hotels and restaurants renowned for their regional cuisine. Each hotel is graded in terms of it’s comfort and quality. This is shown by the number of fireplaces, from 1 to 3 and there is an “Exceptional” which is a very highest quality and service. For dining there are again four classifications. These are graded in terms of cooking pots from 1 to 3 and a higher classification of “Table Distinguée”. Details of Logis can be found on their web site or in a Logis Brochure, which can be obtained from any Logis Hotel or Restaurant. This is a review of one of the hotels we stayed at.

The room we had was quite large and had an excellent bathroom with a superb power shower. The Wifi was very good and I was able to stream UK TV on my tablet computer. As the Auberge is only rated as a 2 Cooking Pot we were not expecting the meal to be as good as it was. The food was excellent, well presented and very tasty. The waitress spoke excellent English, as she had lived in the USA for some years and was able to explain the various dishes to us.. The Auberge is located in the countryside in it’s own grounds. I would recommend this Auberge to anyone travelling...

Our experience at the Auberge Pom’Poire could not have been better! The building is on the property of an extensive and beautiful working farm, growing the trademark apples and pears referenced by the hotel’s name. In front of the hotel, a vocal donkey and peaceable couple of goats serve as the welcoming committee; once inside, an impeccably clean, tastefully decorated, and clearly newly renovated space beckons you in. The room we stayed in was a stand-alone structure, also well-appointed with tasteful decor and obviously fresh from renovations, with a refreshing shower and a beautiful, furnished patio that overlooked the aforementioned animals.

After checking in, it was time for dinner at the Michelin-star restaurant. The dining room was as impressive and atmospheric as the rest of the hotel spaces. We were blown away by every single item on the 9-course meal. All of the staff were highly professional and friendly, and our primary waitress Fiona went out of her way to make us feel welcome and explain each dish to us in detail. When dessert came around, the pastry chef herself emerged from the kitchen and walked us through the selection, including an excellent dish designed as an homage to the chef’s farmer father. In the last course, Fiona and the pastry chef brought us a special additional dessert, as well as a plate with the word “Congratulations” on our recent anniversary spelled out in chocolate drizzle. Breakfast in the morning was fresh and generous, and just as excellent as the rest of our stay! Thank you for a wonderful trip! --...
