Then, arrive on time, let the owners of the restaurant welcome you warmly, choose the 3-course menu (€29 - a bargain) and hesitate as long as you need between the delicious 3 starters, 3 mains and 3 desserts that are proposed. We had The Avocado (delicate flavours, with a truly incredible guacamole-like sauce), The Pork (very tender, served with an amazing risotto) and The Chocolate (delicious mix of chocolate, apricot and praline, served in a very generous portion). Everything was fresh, quite surprising, delicious, and exquisitely presented. We spent a truly wonderful evening there and we recommend it to anybody who likes good cuisine - the place is classy but not the least bit posh, you can go there whatever your age or clothes.

My wife and I were on our way back to the hotel after a long day touring the Loire Valley and were attracted to the "au courrant" style building and through the front window could see folks having drinks... a welcome and inviting sight.

The café is accessed through a small, enclosed, outdoor seating area which I would have loved to use had the weather been better. The interior is cozy, with some interesting (but not obnoxious or distracting) music playing. Service was good and prices even better: a cheese plate, Nutella crepe, café crème, and beer came to 21.50 euro. They also have a wine cellar which dates back to the 15th century which you can examine, which is a really cool thing if you're a history buff (and, if you're visiting Blois, there's a good chance you are).
