Their menu changes everyday but always consists of a vegetarian, meat, and fish dish. They buy just enough ingredients for the day so that they are fresh and do not go to waste. The waiter was new and very nice but minus one star because he couldn't get the heater to work.

Le Pelican is Vernante's premier restaurant situated in a hotel, offering 3 or even 5 course meals…read morein decadent surroundings. Located right on the village square in Vernantes, there is parking right outside. Award winning chefs prepare local delicacies, including the Sander, a locally caught fish from the Loire in Saumur, perche and a wide selection of soups, cheeses and meats. Wine varies in price, but the house wines are cheap, locally produced and delicious. The local rose's in this area are highly sought after and very tasty, so worth a glass or two! Where Le Pelican really excels is with it's overflowing dessert trolley, where chocolate features in abundance! It's recommended that you go easy on the pain before tackling this!

Served à la carte or on the menu, the dishes are sophisticated and very pleasant. An assortment of wines is available by the glass as well as a wine list of the region.

We had a great experience here. Both the owner/chef Olivier and the other staff member were very…read morewarm, kind, and helpful. We learned that the name of the restaurant means "kitchen in the middle of the room," which is literally the case here. We were served some hard salami as a complimentary treat with our drinks. The menu is minimal with only 2 options for each course (starter, main course, dessert), but this is not surprising as it's a very small kitchen with one cook. We shared a starter of crispy phyllo filled with stewed pork, veal, chicken and onions and each ordered duck and turkey parmentier as our main course. The food was so cozy and comforting. It was definitely more rustic than some of the other dishes we had eaten on our trip, but we really enjoyed all the flavors and would definitely come back. Olivier in particular was delightful. Even though he was cooking all the food, he checked in on us multiple times and ensured we were enjoying ourselves. This is a small restaurant and reservations are definitely required.

Delicious! Great view! Outdoor seating!…read more There are not many places to eat in this village if you're staying here. But this place is great. Great view of the water, chateau, and pretty garden on site. Great for drinks or dinner. Sat down early... They don't serve dinner until 7ish. So had a drink. Very tasty. And relaxing.... Then moved to another table for dinner. Got the meat plate as an appetizer. Very good. Great bread.... Then the pike perch with ratioulle. So good. Then to top it off the apple tart with fresh whipped cream. That was perfect and hit the spot!!! Mmmmm... The service was very good -- very attentive when needed. It rained halfway through the appetizer and the wait staff was great and made light of the situation. Very refreshing. Everything seems ultra fresh and on point.

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.
