Wow, first time eating French cuisine and man I was surprised by the explosive flavours!…read more We ordered the three course meal with the trio appetizer and the owner was very generous and threw in one of their new dishes for free! The three appetizer composed of duck liver, duck pate and a sushi. All of them were extremely well seasoned and delicious. Next on to the main course! I ordered the steak with fried veggies. There were three purée on the side as well, I can only identify one as truffle. The steak was cooked to perfection and was seasoned beautifully. One of the best steaks I have ever tasted. Now onto the dessert. I ordered the cheese cake, but it's more some cheese on a cracker? (Not to say it taste bad) The top was filled with fresh strawberries and the cheese part of the dessert was absolutely mind boggling, it was the perfect end to my lunch at this quite French town!

Wine + charcuterie + cheese + fresh bread = what else to ask for?…read more The shop is in the middle of Chinon old town and you can't miss it if you are wandering around. Pick a place to sit outside and enjoy the peaceful street and view of the fort. You may also run into a black and white cat sleeping on either one of the chairs or on the speaker - wherever the cushion is! Everything is so fresh here and the owner explains everything. He is also knowledgeable about wines and gave us great recommendations. The owner was also super friendly which I appreciated a lot. Btw this place was recommended by a worker at a wine shop in Paris saying his best friend who lives here loves this shop. Never go wrong with getting tips from the locals!

When you're not used to the French times for lunch, walking around Chinon after French lunchtime…read morecan be frustrating as it's hard to find anything to eat. However, this little gem on a corner in the center of the old town didn't disappoint us. They serve beautiful wines and beers from the region, mostly organic. If desired accompanied by what I would almost call tapas. A nice cheese plate or a vegan chickpea veggie dish in a jar among a few other choices. A generous serving of delicious dark bread was served with those. 5 stars for the wine and beer selection, for the food I would give 4 stars but all in all it adds up to 5. We will be back here.
