We enjoyed the ice cream deserts with melted chocolate and cappuccinos during this visit. We also purchased candy to go and enjoyed it in the valley and on our trip back to Paris. The team that works here is very helpful and friendly and if you have the time, you can visit the local surroundings including the chateau across the street!

We got four different flavors and loved all those flavors. Highly recommend running into Amorino with no second thought when you see one in France.

We don't speak French but they spoke more than enough English and the menu had translations.

Mains were local catfish, chicken and lamb. Also had the cheese course and chocolate and plum deserts. They were all excellent. Service was perfectly timed and professional. Highly recommended!

This place is definitely worth a try if you're in the area; some of the better pastries I had while staying in France. I only wish the items were warm(er) upon ordering.

Then, spending most of our time in the historic district, we didn't realize what we had passed until a couple days later when we caught a train to nearby Ambois. We sheepishly tucked in for a bite once we saw how delightful all the baked goods looked (we had JUST finished breakfast and certainly didn't need more...). Absolutely exquisite! The coffee - and especially the hot chocolate - are also wonderful. We're back today and wish we had know of this place earlier; definitely the best breakfast spot in town. Well worth the short walk up from the historic district!
