Great location in the heart of Amboise. The food is decent, but the main draw is the ambiance. read more

Concur with another review. Nice location etc but steak was overpriced and fatty. My salad also drenched in dressing and chicken strips overdone. read more

Great service, bistro-quality food, nice atmosphere, crisp appearance. Had 2 lunches here - fantastic salads, good burgers, nice appetizers / starters. Pricey, but enjoyable as a rest between tours. Had a Nice fish risotto and a steak another time. Delicious Iberian jamón starter one day. read more

Four of us enjoyed great service and the food was delicious. Two of us had the BBQ Hamburgers with salad and two had the pork stew. The wine was good and reasonably priced. The staff was very friendly and efficient and provided excellent service. read more

One of the worst restaurant experiences I have ever had. I ordered the menu du jour with the gespatcho and the pork. We also ordered a bottle of wine. The first course arrived very quickly and well in advance of the wine. We had to remind the waitstaff that we had ordered wine. The "gespatcho" seemed to be simply puréed watermelon, complete with small watermelon seeds. After our starters, we waited 45 minutes. The waitress came over and asked us if we wanted dessert, or if we were only having drinks. We explained that we were still waiting for our main courses. The main courses then arrived. I was served a plate with four pieces of pork, one of which was almost entirely fat. The other pieces were edible, but not very good. There were also overly sweet mashed carrots on the plate. The radish garnishes were the best thing on the plate. Definitely avoid this place! read more

Nice ambience but the food was terrible and awfully overpriced. Steak was super tough though red in the center. The salads were drenched in dressing and not fresh. The staff in our experience were pleasant and diligent. The burgers and fries are tolerable. Would avoid. read more

Splendid location and stylish interior, but that is where it ends. We settled for the bistro menu, but even as one of the cheaper options on the menu, it was expensive for what it was. Even the waiter knew better than to ask how we liked our food at every course. My escargot ravioli was bad: chewy whole escargots in an undercooked pasta envelope with nondescript sauce. The main "fish of the day" course was described as dorade by the waiter, but was clearly not dorade and also not fresh (my guess is deep frozen hake). In any case it was dry as fffff...ish and paired with overcooked vegetables. My partner's butternut soup was ok, but the braised pork with parsnips was good in taste but super dry. The wine was mediocre at best (we chose one of the cheaper bottles, to be fair) and all meals were on the table in minutes: probably thanks to Chef Mic. Avoid! read more

Food was horrible. Shrimp stank! Weird because it's the best looking restaurant in town. Server was nice but I think she knows she works at a tourist trap because after food was brought she didn't return and place was empty. read more
