They only have 14 small tables indoor and out, which may sound like a lot but trust me, they fill up on reservations and we saw them turn many people away. The menu is very creative, interesting, and delicious. They focus on shareable plates, although you could easily just order your own food if you really wanted. We shared caramel pork with tahini-coconut roasted vegetables and crispy chickpeas; Thai salad with fried chicken; and salmon tataki with paprika oil, chermoula cauliflower, preserved lemon and Medjool dates. As you can see, the flavor profiles really range, but the food is prepared to excellent standards and I don't have a single note or complaint about anything we tried. This was our first meal upon arriving in Amboise and it really set the bar high. I wish we had more time in our trip to dine here again, but I will definitely plan to come back if I'm ever in Amboise again in the future.

Wood fired grills are used to prepare beef dishes and a burning fire for ambiance is in the center of the main dining area. We ordered the gourmet three course dinners and they were fabulously French! Nice Amuse-Bouche, wonderful bread with fresh butter, and an after dinner plate of cookies and confections were served gratis. Prices are fair and the food we had was divine. Menus are in French only. A waitress helped us with translations. Be prepared to spend over 2 hours here and savor the rich flavors of this French cuisine at an unhurried pace.

It may look simple, but the food was beyond spectacular! The quality of ingredients and the thought put into flavors and textures was beyond compare! We stayed and extra night just to try a few more items on the menu. They also get the BEST cheese. I have eaten my fair share of cheese and after eating it here everything else in France was disappointing. The couple that owns the hotel are the sweetest people! They spoke English, French and I think a few other languages as well. We didn't have reservations, but they took us in. They had an open room because of the gas strike (few people were driving). I would recommend reservations, we got really lucky! The location is great for access to local tourist attraction by car and prices were very reasonable.
