The servers were stretched too thin as the time went on, so we waited a long time for our desserts, but we had no where to be and spent the time chatting with some Americans at the next table. Enjoying a good meal while sitting in a shady square on a beautiful day is one of the experiences that reminds us how fortunate we are to be living in this part of France.

We love this place. Every time we return to Saumur - which we also love - we try to have our first…read moremeal at Bistrot Della Place. Two nights ago, we had aperitives in the wine cellar and then a delicious dinner looking out at Place Saint Pierre. Simply perfect

Delicious! Great view! Outdoor seating!…read more There are not many places to eat in this village if you're staying here. But this place is great. Great view of the water, chateau, and pretty garden on site. Great for drinks or dinner. Sat down early... They don't serve dinner until 7ish. So had a drink. Very tasty. And relaxing.... Then moved to another table for dinner. Got the meat plate as an appetizer. Very good. Great bread.... Then the pike perch with ratioulle. So good. Then to top it off the apple tart with fresh whipped cream. That was perfect and hit the spot!!! Mmmmm... The service was very good -- very attentive when needed. It rained halfway through the appetizer and the wait staff was great and made light of the situation. Very refreshing. Everything seems ultra fresh and on point.

We had a great experience here. Both the owner/chef Olivier and the other staff member were very…read morewarm, kind, and helpful. We learned that the name of the restaurant means "kitchen in the middle of the room," which is literally the case here. We were served some hard salami as a complimentary treat with our drinks. The menu is minimal with only 2 options for each course (starter, main course, dessert), but this is not surprising as it's a very small kitchen with one cook. We shared a starter of crispy phyllo filled with stewed pork, veal, chicken and onions and each ordered duck and turkey parmentier as our main course. The food was so cozy and comforting. It was definitely more rustic than some of the other dishes we had eaten on our trip, but we really enjoyed all the flavors and would definitely come back. Olivier in particular was delightful. Even though he was cooking all the food, he checked in on us multiple times and ensured we were enjoying ourselves. This is a small restaurant and reservations are definitely required.

I'm sure their food is very good. I accidentally- made the reservation at L'llot in Paris.

Gratien & Meyer is France's premier sparkling wine specialist! Located on the high hills above the…read moretown of Saumur, the Chateau is a friendly place to spend an afternoon. All staff are knowledgable about their sparkling wines, and the vast majority are thoroughly fruent in English. The chateau produce a wide selection of wines - sparkling and still (tranquille!), from the oaky Flamme D'or (Golden Flame) to the sweet fizzyness of Cardinale - a highly recommended sparkling red wine, especially enjoyed in a glass with strawberries on a hot summer day. The Chateau Gratien & Meyer invite people for wine tasting all year round, any time of the day (they do not close for lunch). The wine caves are currently being renovated, but when they re-open in June they will be available to tour. The chateau hosts a famous Jazz festival every June which is worth checking out - jazz and wine on the hill looking down at the river and town of Saumur is a perfect way to spend a summer Saturday! All in all, I highly recommend Gratien & Meyer, especially to those visitors to the region who are not fluent French speakers, or those who know very little about wine. The chateau is friendly and accessable, in gorgeous surroundings and the prices are very reasonable (6 euros for an award winning bottle of Cardinale or Saumur Dry, prices from 3 euros to 15 euros). Do note: the chateau is on a steep hill - there is parking both at the top and the bottom, but if you have difficulty walking make sure you park at the top, it's quite a climb!

I was born there, and none, I say none of the items on the menu, despite their Middle-Ages sounding names was done right! The work on the premises makes it look fake, the kitchen spits out of-the-microwave, mushy/gooey kind of bland feed. I wonder why so many local/regular looking people get their feed there... O tempora, o mores! Oh, I know, this was the only place open on Sunday... Go figure! ..Nobody is going to complain though, their web site does not allow any feedback.! Shame on you! ********************************************** We went back there, 4 of us, 2 years later, and it had become worse, to a point the owner got angry, got out from behind the bar and theatened to punch us, because after 30 mn wait we had decided to just leave out of despair we'd ever get presented with a menu, let alone food... The guy is a real lunatic...and wife in unison... We went to an excellent creperie next door, where the owner greated us with a smile, understanding we were survivors of a trip next door... Just other viciims... As of summer 2014 the place is still open, few customers though, to many daredevils... :). The next door Creperie is still there... hence you know where to go.
