We had a disappointing experience at this restaurant in Tours, which, unfortunately, is the worst of our 2.5-week trip through France. Despite being recommended by a local, the meal didn't live up to expectations. The prices were high for the quality, and the food was only average by French standards.
The main ingredients in our dishesâmeat and fishâwere well cooked, but the rest of the components on the plate seemed like an afterthought: mostly cold, lacking flavor, and not well integrated. The portions were also quite small for the price.
The vegetarian starter was a letdown, with overcooked, cold cauliflower and no crunch. The curry sauce was served cold, which was unusual and should have been mentioned when ordering. The mackerel was cooked well, but the accompaniments tasted pre-cooked, resulting in a dish that lacked freshness and flavor.
We decided to skip dessert as we were ready to leave. When the manager asked for feedback, she didnât seem receptive to our suggestions and gave the impression that she wasnât concerned about the poor experience we had.
There are plenty of better dining options in Tours, especially outside the city center. Our advice: save yourself the disappointment and...

2024 Lunch: The avocado tartare, fish fillet and duck breast are delicious. Reservations are recommended for lunch. There may be no seats available at the walk-in. Located in the old town.
Dinner: Eat here again for the duck breast. Tonight's duck breast is perfect. It was the most delicious duck breast ever tasted, and the pumpkin puree also went well with it. Salmon as a starter is okay, but the salmon only has two small slices. Monkfish as a main course looks great (there are pictures to prove it) but the taste and texture are average. Pineapple Tart as dessert tastes so good and fresh. The bread that came with the dish was cold and hard, the worst I have ever had in recent times. I understand that it is difficult for a restaurant to maintain a high level of standard in every dish. Service has always been...
   Read moreDĂźner pour 4 personnes, rĂ©servĂ© Ă lâavance. Ă notre arrivĂ©e, le serveur nous dĂ©signe simplement une table au fond de la salle dâun geste, sans nous accompagner â une attitude surprenante pour un Ă©tablissement de ce standing.
Une fois installĂ©s, nous commandons un apĂ©ritif. Malheureusement, lâune des personnes de notre groupe, ne consommant pas dâalcool, a dĂ» attendre prĂšs de 15 minutes pour recevoir un simple verre dâeau. Au moment de la commande, le serveur semblait pressĂ©, peu enclin Ă expliquer les plats, et lâĂ©change a Ă©tĂ© perçu comme froid et expĂ©ditif. Lorsquâun membre de la table a demandĂ© quelques prĂ©cisions pour faire son choix entre la volaille et la lotte, la rĂ©ponse fut sĂšche, accompagnĂ©e dâun roulement des yeux : « Ce sont des plats diffĂ©rents. » Une attitude franchement dĂ©concertante.
Les plats sont arrivĂ©s rapidement. LâentrĂ©e Ă©tait rĂ©ussie, le plat principal â un suprĂȘme de volaille â excellent. En revanche, le dessert au chocolat Ă©tait une vraie dĂ©ception : une simple mousse avec quelques grains de riz soufflĂ©. Les desserts Ă la rhubarbe et aux fraises, eux, avaient lâair bien plus aboutis.
Tout au long du repas, obtenir lâattention du serveur pour recommander un verre de vin sâest avĂ©rĂ© difficile, ce qui a considĂ©rablement pesĂ© sur notre expĂ©rience.
En rĂ©sumĂ© : la cuisine est globalement bonne, mais un service froid, expĂ©ditif et peu attentionnĂ© a gĂąchĂ© lâensemble du repas. Ă ce niveau de prix, on sâattend Ă une expĂ©rience beaucoup plus soignĂ©e. Pour moitiĂ© moins cher, on peut trouver une table tout aussi savoureuse avec un service bien plus...
