A charming, familiy orientated restaurant in the centre of Blois, that does good food and a good price.

Dinner here with friends recently whilst working in the area. The restaurant is welcoming, and tables have room to move around them.Who knew that poached egg in red wine would be quite so good? Though maybe it was the bread. Linguine was a little overcooked, but prawns were good.

The recommendation for this restaurant came from the owner of our gîte and we came with a friend from Paris. We had a good time and liked the food.We chose a couple of entrées/starters to share - rillette, friture and charcuterie. The portions were larger than expected. The rillette was very good indeed with a more compact texture than usual. The friture was little fried fish, which were fresh and light. The charcuterie platter was not what we expected, which was saucisson, ham, pâté, etc. What appeared was a large plate of boudin blanc, boudin noir, chorizo and somthing similar to hasslet but far nicer. All was delicious. Each element of the dish wasn't heavy, but altogether and with the portion size, it was very filling. A bit too much even for 3 people.For main course, I had river fish, which one I can't recall. We also had lamb and a chicken dish. My fish was cooked perfectly but I didn't enjoy it very much. It confirmed my dislike of fresh water fish, I don't like the muddy flavour. This was no fault on the chef's part. The lamb was full of flavour but the chicken was less exciting. For puddings, two of us had the chocolate and pistachio cheesecake. It was a large piece of dense and onctious chocolate deliciousness! The flavour was lovely and intense. I never thought I would say this, but I wish there were less. It was so rich that I had to force it down. If I had a box, I would have taken most of it home and enjoy it the following day!The general atmosphere was convivial. The restaurant was full, so booking is a must. There was a buzz but it was never noisy. It was well lit, not too bright but bright enough so that we could see the colour of the food. The provenance of the products were on display and we liked that most of the suppliers were local. The service was very good; gallic elegance without the gallic haughtiness. We had a good evening of nicely cooked food. It wasn't the most spectacular dinner we've had, but this was a lot better than many fancier establishments we know. For what we had, it was an absolute bargain. Highly recommended.Dear Pibochen,Thank you so much for your comment about your dinner at the Côté Bistro. Your feedback is very precious for us, and we appreciate your honesty.Also thank you for your recommandation.We are looking forward to welcoming you soon, maybe in our gastronomic restaurant La Maison d'à Côté!Best regards,Laura AubrySales Manager

I came across this French restaurant while walking to the cathedral and decide to have dinner here. Menu is mostly classic French dishes. I ordered the cassoulet with sea food. It came with rice. The cassoulet was nicely cooked with cream and a variety of seafood.Waitress was a bit rush and she forgot that I asked for the bill. I had to remind another waiter again before I finally got it.

We dined at this restaurant on 3 occasions this week, in fact on 3 consecutive evenings, which is a good indication that we liked it. This was not only because it was near our hotel, but because we liked the food and wine, the service was good, and the pricing reasonable (not as expensive as many other restaurants in Blois).Our favourite dish was the meat dish on skewers, which came with a nice sauce, lettuce and small potatoes. Last night we were also offered gratis a locally made ketchup, which is far superior to the supermarket product: it is finely flavoured. There are a selection of 9 wines available by the glass for EUR3.50 - the Cheverny Salvard chardonnay is first rate. The restaurant is located directly opposite the Blois railway station.

We wandered looking for a place to dine after the castle visit just hoping to find a last minute table⦠Is a small restaurant with very simple decor, very white and red.We had a bonito carpaccio with Cancale oysters dressed with apple vinaigrette; asparagus with pea mousseline and quail pieces; both entrée were appetizing; as mains we had duck breast cooked with ginger and soy sauce and served with sweetcorn fritters; the duck was OK but the base was a bit too oversauced (and oily) and the fritters were (some of them) black burned⦠the lamb with the local beans (Comtesse de Chambord) was tasty. For desserts we chose the gingerbread and the tarte tatin, both sweet and perfect for a flourish end. Prices are average like any other eatery (we chose the 33,50 menu which includes a starter, main and dessert, drinks are separate) and the service was good, very busy at times specially if is just one person who takes care the whole dining room, serving, bartending and cashing.This is a very good address for a casual lunch or dinner in this town.

What a great choice of menus, we were really happy with all the food that came on our plate. We ordered the Gazpacho, and fish in mains, both were extremely delicious. We were also served an amuse - bouche of grilled tomatoes stuffed, which was a perfect starter to a good meal. We arrived late, when only a few locals were still dining, a reservation is recommended. They have table seatings inside and outside as well, and a great wine selection. The desserts in the menu were great as well. It was worth the trip from Montrichard, as that's where we were staying.

Quite a unique, rather quaint restaurant with a cozy interior and a very nice team. The menu includes salads, 'planches' (oven-baked white bread with pizza-type topping) and crêpes. Everything is very tasty and the service excellent! Make sure you book a table, especially if you're more than 2 - the restaurant is really very small.

This lovely bar and restaurant has an excellent location, having a terrace looking over Blois. If you choose to sit inside however you have the joy of watching the owner freshly prepare your meal in front of you.Good home cooked regional food and a very welcoming atmosphere from the husband and wife owners who are you hosts.A typically French gem.

Found this delightful restaurant through TripAdvisor and had a great dining experience, helped enormously by the owner who explained the menu, took our order and joked with us most of the evening. He was very tolerant of my terrible French, but choosing a decent bottle of red wine seemed to make him my friend for ever. The atmosphere was great. We only had a main course because we were suffering from a week of over indulgence in French restaurants, but what great dishes they were. My chicken from the specials board, served with morel mushrooms and shrimps was extraordinarily intensely flavoured. My wife ordered the T-bone veal steak, which was enormous and very tasty, Both dishes were accompanied by well cooked jacket potatoes with sour cream. The wine was of course excellent, or at least the owner said it was! Seriously, they have a limited wine list but it looks good quality and is reasonably priced, considering that this is a tourist town. We sat outside on the pavement, but there is plenty of seating inside and under umbrellas at the back. It's a back street location, but not that far from the main square and the shopping area. It's very well worth while making the effort to find it. Although it wasn't full the night we ate there, it had been the evening before so it would be wise to make a reservation.

We were initially impressed by the skill and aplomb with which the sommelier poured a bottle of crémant - our aperitif - into 9 glasses, giving each of us exactly the same amount. We were also impressed by the good value and quality of the set menu we chose, and the wines from an excellent wine list. Nice atmosphere. Relaxed dining.
