Restaurant CÔTÉ Cour — Restaurant in Tours

Our family spent almost two weeks touring the French countryside. Along the way we spent time in several villages. Azay-le-Rideau was one of our favorites. And while we were there we stumbled upon Côté Cour! What a terrific find. The restaurant is relatively small - perhaps a total of 10-12 tables. This allows the restaurant team to deliver an incredible experience examining regional foods and wines. The regional aspect allowed us to grab a taste into the area that we so enjoyed. Everything was fresh and the cooking was spot-on. I'm not sure how regular any item is, so I will not comment on our specific meal selections except to note the pear desert was incredible. So, if you are anywhere near this quaint town, then stop in for dinner at this fine restaurant. You won't be disappointed. And, rest-assured that it is not some hole-in-the-wall that you want to run from. The atmosphere and interior aesthetics are fresh and the service is welcoming. ...

Fixed menu: choose one from a selection of 5 starters, two mains and about 5 deserts. Wine list was well balanced and predominantly local. Food was exceptional. Simple ingredients but incredibly tasty. Our favourites were the beetroot and goats cheese starter and the strawberry desert (which looked like an Eton mess but had an incredible rhubarb compote hidden in the bottom). Service was ther perfect balance between being friendly and attentive... the lady spoke perfect English which helped us out! Overall a perfect little restaurant! 5 stars easily won! Thank you for a...

What a wonderful restaurant in Azay-le-Rideau! The chef’s talent truly shines through every dish - the foie gras was absolutely succulent and the canette à l’orange with vegetables was unforgettable. The wine list offers something perfect for every palate. The setting in the back garden behind the church creates such a unique and charming atmosphere. We were fortunate to get the last available high table (they kindly accommodated our party of 3), but I’d definitely recommend booking ahead. This restaurant delivers on all fronts - exceptional food, thoughtful wine selection, and a truly special ambiance. Highly...
