Service was rushed at lunchtime on a summer weekday, when Fontevraud is overrun by bikers and Abbaye visitors dominating the small local restaurants. English was spoken but French very helpful if you want additional details before you order. Nice, they put out good and simple classics but try going during off-hours and off-season.

If you are planning a trip to the Loire Valley, please add a stop to Saumur and Bistro Les Tontons…read more To speak plainly, it was one of the highlights of our three week holiday. Gérald and Sarah-Jane are excellent proprietors, well versed in the region and just fantastic individuals to spend time with. Their focus on quality, attention to detail and love of living translate through to Bistrot Les Tontons (in the food, service, tours, and events). Romain (head chef) prepared a solid beef tartare with potato au gratin and fresh green salad. Dessert included the best caramel sauce in 30 years of dining experience. Pros + Excellent execution with friendly and helpful staff + Solid wine selection + Caramel sauce during dessert (the best in 30 years of dining) Cons + I have to fly 14 hours to return I cannot wait to return one day. Major additional points to Gérald's suggestion of Fontevraud Abbey after lunch.
