They only have 14 small tables indoor and out, which may sound like a lot but trust me, they fill up on reservations and we saw them turn many people away. The menu is very creative, interesting, and delicious. They focus on shareable plates, although you could easily just order your own food if you really wanted. We shared caramel pork with tahini-coconut roasted vegetables and crispy chickpeas; Thai salad with fried chicken; and salmon tataki with paprika oil, chermoula cauliflower, preserved lemon and Medjool dates. As you can see, the flavor profiles really range, but the food is prepared to excellent standards and I don't have a single note or complaint about anything we tried. This was our first meal upon arriving in Amboise and it really set the bar high. I wish we had more time in our trip to dine here again, but I will definitely plan to come back if I'm ever in Amboise again in the future.

Yum, yum, yum! This small creperie, right next to Chateau Amboise serves some of the best crepes I…read morehave ever had. We ordered two savory buckwheat crepes called "La Mexicane" and "L'indienne". The La Mexicane had ground beef, onions and peppers while the L'indinne had curry chicken, cheese and onions. They were fast and flavorful! The crepes were about 11 euros each and well worth it. They have some simpler crepes, and even dessert crepes, that cost even less. I wanted to try the other flavors, but sadly did not have enough room.

This was a little gem of a find! Right across the walls of Amboise Chateau, they serve the best…read morecrepes I have ever had, ANYWHERE. The only problem is which crepes to pick, as everything they have is so good: Savory or Sweet, you name it. The best way to order: Close your eyes, pick up the menu, and order what your finger meets the menu: Will save you a lot of time trying to decide what to order :-) The seating is outdoors, causal, with a cobblestone street between you and the chateau. This is quintessential French cafe experience. The waiter/waitress spoke just enough English to do everything right, so no problem if you do not speak a work of French. They were very helpful, making sure you truly enjoy your visit. Tip: If you park your car across the street, do not autoamtically feed the meters. Check the hours when payment is required, and when it is free. I saw a lot of tourists wasting their money when parking was actually free.

We enjoyed the ice cream deserts with melted chocolate and cappuccinos during this visit. We also purchased candy to go and enjoyed it in the valley and on our trip back to Paris. The team that works here is very helpful and friendly and if you have the time, you can visit the local surroundings including the chateau across the street!

We were seated upstairs and all enjoyed a very hearty meal that fueled us for the rest of our day. I had the pork skewer plate and do wish I would have went with one of the fixed menu options for a smaller portion but I REALLY wanted the gourmet dessert plate with coffee so what is a girl to do?! I had a really wonderful glass of wine as well. Seemed like a really down to earth and fun place where babies and elders alike are welcome to sit and enjoy a meal together. I wish I would have taken a picture of the sign above the toilet discouraging any lingering! Kind of an odd set up - you walk through a closet with a urinal to get to the toilet so I was a smidge worried someone would come in to use the urinal and I'd walk out on them!
