The meat here is decent. The shrimp was excellent. The atmosphere especially out on the patio was good. Crème brule yes. Tiramisu no (hint with no marscopane cheese and no cafe it ain't a Tiramisu, but taste was ok) The serving staff was not consistent and we seem to have four servers that did not know what we had or really care. Two younger girls were not so happy. All good marks for food and atmosphere ( for the price) but service needs more training. (I know as I worked in restaurants). Owner - please observe your waitstaff. If they don't want to be there, they shouldn't be there. read more

Amazing find off the beaten path in Amboise. One look into the window and we were sold - not only did the menu entice, but the sight of that huge grill right as you step into the building with delicious smells and smoke blowing around - we didn't even think twice. We were seated upstairs and all enjoyed a very hearty meal that fueled us for the rest of our day. I had the pork skewer plate and do wish I would have went with one of the fixed menu options for a smaller portion but I REALLY wanted the gourmet dessert plate with coffee so what is a girl to do?! I had a really wonderful glass of wine as well. Seemed like a really down to earth and fun place where babies and elders alike are welcome to sit and enjoy a meal together. I wish I would have taken a picture of the sign above the toilet discouraging any lingering! Kind of an odd set up - you walk through a closet with a urinal to get to the toilet so I was a smidge worried someone would come in to use the urinal and I'd walk out on them! read more

See all

The food was yummy! The only reason I put 4 stars is the menu was in French and we had a hard time communicating with our waitress (though it could be a good sign of the authenticity of the restaurant). Also my bf ordered the salmon entree and got chicken. This worked out since he preferred chicken. They were quite accommodating of our limited time for lunch before needing to leave for a tour. However check out how yummy those shrimp look! This was just the appetizer too!! Fresh bread since we were in France as well read more

Le Parvis - French Near Me - Amboise, 37

We were a little doubtful about this restaurant given it was one of the only ones open Sunday night and it opened at seven pm. Most places open at seven thirty or not at all Sunday night. The house white Volnay was ordinary but the 2006 Chinon was tank and deep. With time it opened and was big and brassy. We had the 26 Euro prix fixe menu each. First was fois gras. It was exactly as expected with sides of caramel iced onion and jam. The toasted bread was perfect. I found it to be nearly perfect. Next we had duck confit and salmon grilled. Te confit came with roasted potatoes with lardon and another side of mushrooms. Both were interesting to satisfying. The duck was cooked well and as expected. The salmon was well prepared, fresh, moist and with similar sides plus a dill cream dipping sauce. We had cheese and chocolate mouse. The mouse was deep and chocolaty in flavor. Very, very good. The fromage were young, but plentiful. All followed by a good coffee. A fairly priced good meal for 70 Euro for two with wine. read more

Loved this place! We smelled their wood fire grill and followed our noses to this great restaurant in the alleyway. We had the duck breast and fish and it was excellent. read more

One of our best meals in Amboise. I had two entrees: shrimp in pesto sauce and smoked ham stuffed with goat cheese and salad. Scrumptious. My husband had the fish of the day (cod) was perfection. Our dessert was a tasting plate of divine selections. The host was a bit put off by my requesting a table near a window instead of one on the aisle. He said they were reserved. But they accommodated us. Our waitress started out somewhat detached but warmed in the sweet sincere French way. As stated the food was A+ read more
