Who would have thought that, after several days in Paris, our best meal would be in Saint Avertin!? Both the exterior and interior of the restaurant were lovely, clean, and well-appointed. The staff was so kind and welcoming. Service was timely. My favorite part, of course, was the food! Everything we ordered was delicious and inventive. My personal favorite was the roasted fig dessert, though the veal and mushroom pasta was also quite nice. Highly recommend stopping by for dinner!

We were wandering round the streets of Tours on a one day visit looking for a restaurant when we spotted this place down a side street. On a quick check the menu looked spot on and the reviews were good so we gave it a try. The proprietor spoke excellent English and also had a great sense of humour the ran through the place and other staff. The is a simple menu with daily specials. We had good food and good wine served with good humour, whatâs not to like?

This is not the usual restaurant of the central area of Tours where you frequently find small restaurants with small tables. This place is larger and more comfortable. Two dining rooms, tables larger than usual, simple interior decor. The set menu (⬠32) includes a starter, a main course and a dessert. The choice is different from that of other restaurants of the center. I remember a cream of peas with mint and goat cheese, a tartare of salmon with eggs of pike and yuzu, a steak of red tuna on a bed of seasonal vegetables, a very good chocolate dessert. All dishes surprisingly well presented. Service might be slower than expected when the restaurant is full but it is anyway acceptable. Reservation is necessary especially on weekends.

My partner and I ate here last night and it was truly wonderful. I can not recommend it enough. Small menu three options for each course but extremely well priced at three courses for twenty euro. We both really enjoyed our meals and would love to return some day in the future. The cute little restaurant had a fantastic ambience and the service was second to none, the two waitresses were wonderful. This place gets very busy though so would definitely recommend booking. We originally wanted to eat here on the Friday night but they didnât have any spare tables. By far the best place out of the three places we ate in Tours!

We came across this restaurant whilst struggling to find one open on a Monday and we werenât disappointed. Very friendly service and pleasant ambience, delicious plates of food - the Tours rillettes was superb and the melted Camembert was wonderful. Obviously the major hit was the wine served from boxes - yes! We mentioned what we liked then got to try before ordering - so delicious and inexpensive that weâre taking some home! A real treasure and a delightful night out.Thanks a lot Sarah for your comment ! It was a pleasure to welcome you, and really happy you enjoyed so much the "Clot & Fardet" Rosé.You'll remember us at home !Hope you had a safe trip back.

We came into Tours to see an exhibition, and took the opportunity to celebrate a birthday with a return trip to La Roche Le Roy. We knew it had acquired a new chef after the previous chef sold up and retired. We were not to be disappointed. We both went for the reasonably priced business menu for lunch, a terrine starter, fish for main and an amazing "rice pudding" for dessert, all excellently cooked and presented.We were a little surprised to be given a menu in English, but on reflection we do look very English even if we have lived in France a long time and our gastronomic French is pretty good (though we still struggle with the grammar!) The meal was accompanied by an very good half bottle of Menetou-Salon, and the service was superb and faultless. The restaurant may have lost its Michelin star when the old chef (Alain Couturier) retired, but good luck to the new chef (Maximilien Bridier) in his new venture and I am sure that will soon be corrected.Dear Customer, Thank you very much for your comment, it was a pleasure to welcome you at La Roche le Roche as always. No worries, French grammar is difficult and even some french people have issues with it. It will be a pleasure to welcome you again, maybe with a new Michelin star and menus in French. Best regards,La Roche Le Roy

What a warm inviting creperie! Crepes were quintessential French. Had a variety of sweet and savory, gluten free and vegetarian options. They have lovely salads, in season fresh juices, and delicious coffee. The owner and his lovely sister both speak English and are very friendly.

this is a small well run restaurant with daily specials on the wall and an engaging and enthusiastic front of house / waiter . there were 4 of us dining and we had excellent food well prepared and well served - you will need to book as I estimate there are only 20-25 covers.

A thoroughly delightful and slightly bohemian feel small restaurant which delivers handsomely.During our dinner, we appeared to be the only non locals at this obviously popular venue which is slightly hidden off the main boulevard but without doubt worth seeking out.The set menu was reasonable value for the quality.Reservation seem essential but regrettably not available on line which is my only criticism.

We just finished having dinner at Le Theleme and weâre not disappointed in any way. The food was well presented and prepared. Everything was delicious. A great amount of pride is exuded in the ownerâs attitude and her perfection of service. She helped my fiancée translate dishes to English to enable her to order something understood. She loved it all. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting quality food.
