Very disappointing after this Restaurant being recommended. We ordered the Turbot which was a very small amount. More like a piece of Plaice or Dab. It was full of bones and when mentioned to the Waitress, she laughed. I said I'm not joking! The Monk Fish was also very small, overcooked and dry. The sauce was very salty and all four of us had the same sauce even though we had ordered different dishes. The plates were that hot that it dried the sauce up and continued cooking the all ready overcooked fish. The vegetables were a disgrace, floppy, dry and overcooked. The Profitier Rolls were served with creme and ice cream in a very hot bowl!! Why!! The only nice thing was the Creme brulee. But how hard is it to make a Creme Brulee?! The Blackcurrant Pie was bought in and not homemade. The presentation of all the dishes was non existent. They are not Chefs more like cooks from a Transport Cafe! The Lady owner was very snotty towards us. Have had better quality and for less money. Poor quality and over priced food with poor service. Not to be...
Read moreWalking around the town of Vendome, we spotted this lovely restaurant down an alley way. It sits right on the River Loir (not the Loire) and its terrace is edged with flowers in planters on the railings- very picturesque. We had the plat du jour (dish of the day) of which there was a choice of 7 or 8 dishes. The food was delicious. The young waitress was very friendly and was happy to chat for a few minutes- it was very busy, being a popular choice for the French locals. Highly...

C'est tout.
Pour le reste la cuisine "traditionnelle" est plus de moyenne. Du moins pour mon expérience A titre d'exemple : salade landaises avec des gésiers de volaille sans goût. la recette du tournedos Rossini a été violée. Servi avec en guise de sauce un vieux fond de veau en poudre délayé à l'eau (que l'on a essayé de me faire passer pour un jus de truffe) ... Looll...
Tips pour le chef : la sauce Périgueux (ou Madère) se confectionne en faisant revenir des échalotes dans la poêle de cuisine de la viande ou on y ajoute du beurre et de la farine pour faire un roux. Roux que l'on mouille avec un consommé (maison) de bœuf. Que l'on termine au Madère dans lequel on ajoute des lamelles de truffe. Courage c'est faisable..
Très très grosse suspicion de champignons en bocaux tellement ils étaient floteux. Très cher chef, il y avait tout de même moyen d'être moins fainéant et de mettre, au hasard, du sel... Du poivre... De l'ail... Du persil... Vraiment au hasard...
Le responsable de salle à cependant proposé de changer mon assiette. Merci à lui mais c'est mieux de bosser correctement.
Sinon les serveuses sont gentilles mais au fraise et ne connaissent rien de la...
