We unfortunately don't speak French, so order was a bit tough - I was better off pointing at the items. But a very kind lady behind us could understand better what I was trying to order when attempting to pronounce the items compared to the cashier/baker. Anyway! This place is definitely worth a try if you're in the area; some of the better pastries I had while staying in France. I only wish the items were warm(er) upon ordering.

Then, spending most of our time in the historic district, we didn't realize what we had passed until a couple days later when we caught a train to nearby Ambois. We sheepishly tucked in for a bite once we saw how delightful all the baked goods looked (we had JUST finished breakfast and certainly didn't need more...). Absolutely exquisite! The coffee - and especially the hot chocolate - are also wonderful. We're back today and wish we had know of this place earlier; definitely the best breakfast spot in town. Well worth the short walk up from the historic district!

Really nice woman mans the front of the house. She doesn't appear to speak English, but she is very friendly and helpful nevertheless. We ended up coming her twice during our short stay in Blois because everything there looked so good inside. The first thing you notice is the rows of bread. pastries and other baked goods. Several varieties of quiche and chausson; batard loaves in olive, chèvre, lardon, and more; boules, baguette viennesoise (regular and au chocolat, croissant, etc. they also had some heart looking salads like lentil and salmon. On the menu they have available various panini and sandwiches as well (though these appear available only through lunch as we tried ordering one at 5 without any luck). In all we tried a salmon quiche, chèvre loaf, and a chicken panini, which were spectacular (and all very cheesy). When we stopped by in the morning, we also noticed that this is the place in town for baguette, as it someone walked in literally every minute with a huge bag that was promptly filled with at least half a dozen baguettes. Seriously, the quality and service here really is what you think of when you picture a cute French bakery.

It's not often i give a 5 star review, but the price/quality here was most excellent. It can be…read morechallenging to find outstanding food in particularly small and touristy spots like this, so we were very happy and surprised to find this place. While the menus come in a range of prices, we took the lowest price menu "the confidence", which is 38 Euros. For that you get amuse bouche, a starter soup, a starter, a main, a dessert and the mignardise. That's a lotta food for 38 Euros. We also added wine onto that, of course. We started with a glass of rose (at 5 Euros!), ordered a half bottle (can't remember which), and then finished with two glasses of Chenin. our total bill came to 120 Euros - a steal, I think, for everything we had. And for a Michelin starred restaurant (which i believe it is...) The only thing I might criticise is the food didn't seem super inventive. But, we did take the basic menu, so maybe things get a little more unusual the farther upscale you. Regardless, everything we ate was fantastic. The potato/chorizo emulsion/soup thing they serve before the meal is amazing. The service was excellent. We took a seat outside on the terrace directly in front of the chateau. Having peaked inside, it looked beautiful, but maybe a little stuffy, so I'd eat outside again if I return.

I have a food allergy and cannot eat food cooked with alcohol. The head waiter tried to convince me that the alcohol cooks off and he had an attitude. I did not ask for special treatment and would have been fine eating bread and was just happy to be there with my partner. The wait staff seemed annoyed about it and the service was slow throughout the restaurant. Potatoes cooked in clay, which had to be chipped off was very cool and the presentation was fun.

Service was friendly and efficient enough. No complaints there. I chose the plate of the day, which was a steak in red wine sauce. The dish was visually appealing, with artfully diced and presented squash, asparagus, and carrots, potatoes, and the sauce with shallots. However, the flavor was lacking, and the meat was unevenly cooked and tough in spots. The appetizer of 3 shrimp in a carrot-cardamom purée was good, but not exceptional. The presentation was outstanding. I also had a glass of very average house wine. My companion's fish with coconut-lime sauce was better, with nicely cooked scorpionfish. Verdict - this sounds terrible, but while the value was good for the meal (e29 total), I wish I had stopped at the bakery-cafe down the street instead as I expect the dishes would have been more flavorful. Either that, or my palate was just off during the visit. I've never touched the salt shaker in France before but this time, the flavors needed a boost.
