What a big surprice!…read more When we arrived I was in doubt, because of the first look. But don't get fooled! The hostes is really nice, and speaks slowly in French, and teaches you some useful things about the language, the menu and What type of drink will compliment the food. The Food is exquished, and typical French! They present everything with love and sophistication.

The restaurant is quite intimate with an interesting variety of art on the walls. There was an option of two menus with a variety or choice on each. The service was impeccable, the food excellent and the wine selection very good. Not sure what else to say except that I shall return.

OUI! C'est vrai! It IS as good as it gets here! Le Clos Aux Roses in Chédigny (a tiny village, near…read moreTours - about 2 hours SW of Paris) is somewhat the 'new kid on the block' - in all of France. And, since they were recently written up (4 page spread) in one of France's most well-read magazines, they will be teaming with guests in no time. make your reservations while you can!! And be prepared to take a number. The space is quite small, but for France, it's roomy & comfortable. It's considered a gastronomique restaurant (fancy, upscale) and therefore, it has a lovely atmosphere, and only about 12 tables, with lots of 'room to move'. It is actually an old house, and feels like it while you dine. Very comfy, indeed. It's run by a husband & wife team (she's the chef, he's the Somm/Host), and they are lovely, welcoming people you'll be pleased to meet. The food & drinks are top notch! We enjoyed starting with a glass of sparkling white, from the region (Loire Valley), and moved onto a gorgeous red with our meals. (please, see the photos!) i started with the pâte/foie gras appetizer, and my BF had the warm endive salad. Both were outstanding. I continued with the biche (venison) surrounded with a bit of root vegetables & puree. My partner had duck l'orange (with blood oranges, and root veggies). Amazing! We shared desserts...house-made lime, cassis, and passion fruit sorbet, and a perfect tarte tatin = french apple pie. Superb! We cannot give it enough stars! ***** The bed & breakfast rooms, upstairs from the restaurant are very roomy, comfortable, clean, tastefully designed and provided the most incredible night's sleep ever. It's very dark, and very quiet. The bathroom was amply stocked with toiletries and towels, and there is plentiful hot water, with great pressure for your shower. No worries. There are only a few rooms available, so you should book far in advance to make sure you get one. You won't want to go anywhere else after your fabulous meal, and you won't want to have your café au lait et pain du chocolate anywhere else, in the morning! Le Clos Aux Roses is a true gem, run by a wonderfully friendly family. It's not touristy (yet!), so if you are looking for an authentic French experience, visit them soon!

Also, they offered a free salmon & grain chip as a starter and delicious bread (its like baguette). I'd come back again.
