It was a longer walk from the castle and our adjacent hotel than expected but nothing insurmountable. The concierge made reservations for us. They did not seem necessary but better safe than sorry. There's not much going on in this town so I could imagine this place getting packed at times. Wine selection by the glass was limited but still good as you might expect. For starters, we had the salad with salmon and croustillant de brie which was like a pastry with mushroom/cheese. They were both excellent and we ate every last bit. As a main, we had linguine and tournedos Rossini beef. Linguine was excellent as was beef. Very ample portions which made us regret having two appetizers and all the bread. We had espresso and tea to finish the meal. One of the waitstaff spoke English which was helpful since everything was in French and nobody else spoke English. Atmosphere has a very old and historic quality to it which was cool to sit in. You can imagine being part of the "resistance" or something.

Prompt delightful service! We were the first to arrive for the evening, probably because I was worried it would be crowded. Chalk board menu, lots of variety. I had the salade au chèvre chaud, which was outstanding. For my main I had sole meunière and for dessert I had a freshly made creme brûlée- the waitress crystallized the sugar top with fire in front of me! I like silly things like that, it brings me a little joy. JB had a pate for entree, a piece of ham for dinner and baba au rhum for dessert! The restaurants outdoor and indoor seating certainly filled up as we sat there filling our bellies. Lots of plates cooked maison, very nice quality food!

They have many health conscious options including gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, vegan, etc. I don't know how they did it but the vegan lasagna was one of the best lasagnas I've had in a while- vegan or regular! FYI, they have translations to English next to the food in the display (not on the menu on the wall). The ladies there were also very helpful and sweet, with one speaking English and the other not but she was still doing her best to be helpful. I highly recommend this place! Get the lava cake!!

We ordered the mixed tapas/appetizer plate and then split the vegetarian fajitas. The appetizer was perfect for us since it had a variety of snacks, none of which I can properly describe but all of which were great. As someone that has been in France for almost a year now, their take on classic fajitas was the closest thing I've had to Mexican/spicy food in a long time. Absolutely delicious! Served hot, with plenty of accompanying sauces (guac, "sour cream," salsa, and shredded (dare I say, cheddar?!) cheese! To top it off, the atmosphere was cozy, full of quaint tomato and pepper themed decorations. If ever again in Chartres, I would most definitely go back!

The three things I remember most about this meal:…read more 1. I had a lot of champagne and then ended the meal with a port. That is I had a lot to drink, so you may want to consider this when reading this review. 2. The food was delicious, and there was a lot of it. I felt like dishes just kept and coming and some of them larger than I expected. And just when you thought it was over, an incredible cheese cart comes out. 3. I was stuffed to the point I was a bit uncomfortable. My own fault, but just keep this in mind because there is a lot food and you definitely want to have room when the cheese cart comes out. The highlight of this meal is the cheese cart, so if you love cheese, this is heaven. And even better, the waiter serving the cheese is so excited about it that it makes you excited. The food throughout the champagne region is France is incredible and this was another exceptional meal.

The pigeon entrée was especially divine and this restaurant features a special vegetarian menu as well. Our favorite part of the meal, however, was the cheese course. A large carte is rolled to the table showcasing at least twenty-five or more regional cheeses. The enthusiastic cheese man described in great detail each of the cheeses and when we would choose one, he would become animated with excitement as he gave more descriptions. The cheeses were so delicious that we all agreed that a great meal could be made with a bottle of wine and that cheese carte. Alas, that is not an option. There are three different prix fixe menus to choose from, however, and they all include cheese. Reservations a MIUST! Bon apetite!

On the other hand, it made me realize that my mother was a terrible cook. Bistro des Augustins is a small, cozy venue offering both indoor seating and terrace seating near Pont Neuf. It serves a small number of curated dishes, including a wonderfully traditional Bistro Gratin in a homey ceramic dish served piping hot with a brown crispy cheesy top, herbs, spices and chicken. You can also get it with salmon. My brothers and I only saw my mother use our gas range to light her cigarettes, sanitize needles to remove our splinters, and make s'mores during the summer months when she couldn't muster the energy to take us 'outside camping.' I mean, all she had to do was borrow a cookbook, which I'm sure were readily available from maybe a neighbor or in any local bookstore or the public library. How hard is that? I was the only kid who brought a can of tuna and his own monogrammed can opener to school every day. Every day. And mom convinced me that the tuna holster she got me for my birthday was cool and hip. I was a naive mercury-filled fool, although I did become a very fast runner in junior high school because of the tuna holster. The interior décor of Bistro des Augustins is informal and vintage bistro style - wooden tables, traditional chalkboard menus, and soft lighting - creating a relaxed and comfy ambiance. My eyes have been opened to what's possible. Thank you Bistro des Augustins for expanding my culinary horizons. Five stars.

THE FOOD ------------------…read more= Fermier - Cheese gratin with chicken was good. Didn't blow me away, but was solid with the creaminess of the sliced potatoes and emmental cheese combined together with mixed vegetables. The cheese was very strong though, so anything else was unfortunately pretty much overpowered by it. Arrived with bread, but it DEFINITELY could use other carb options to sop it all up (e.g., rice???)! = Landais - Cheese gratin with duck. Same comment as the above, except the Landais had egg and goat cheese also mixed in with almost the same ingredients as the Fermier. THE SERVICE ----------------------- + The lone waitress, who also worked the role as greeter, cashier and bartender was friendly. + Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------------ = Small, tight restaurant. = Not many tables inside - 6 in total. + Located a few blocks away from the more touristy restaurants, towards the East, on a much quieter street. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Nada.
