I've been to the Oh My Biche in Columbier twice for brunch, but decided to try the special lunch…read moreitems at the Mail location. It's definitely not as well known and the inside is a lot smaller (only two tables inside) than the original Columbier location, but service is and ambiance are just as great. My friend and I went on a Wednesday at 12pm, and there were only two other parties sitting outside, so we got to snag the inside table. The owner, who I've noticed works at both locations, and a server were the only two workers in the FoH, but both were super sweet and explained to us the menu in English. I got the Mommy's Dwich (€10) and their famous Snickers (€5) and my friend got the Weekly special (White fish in a coconut milk with pumpkin puree and seasonal veggies - €9,50) and the cheesecake (€4). There was a hefty portion of roasted beef on top the open faced sandwich, with a nice hearty gratin sitting between the beef and the perfectly toasted brioche bread. It came with a side of salad and tartar sauce (which I didn't use). The portion, like all plates I've had here, was a little small for the price (and as I've mentioned in my review for the original location, I never leave this place full, but I always leave satisfied with my choices haha). The roast beef didn't have much flavor which I was a little sad about, but the gratin was delicious and creamy, and the brioche was also wonderful. The Snickers was amazing, and I can see why the description underneath is "The Famous One". They really recreated the snickers, but better. The bottom layer is a brownie/chocolate cake, and very nutty peanut butter cream sits on top, encased by milk chocolate with bits of peanuts, topped with a thick whipped cream and peanuts. I tried a bite of my friends cheesecake and it was very creamy and delicious. Wonderful cafe run by wonderful people and always serving amazing food.

I am so happy we found this sandwich shop on our last day in Saumur. For our first few days in…read moreSaumur we went to lot of sit down breakfast places where we would wind up waiting for around an hour to finish breakfast. As a New Yorker I started to crave the quick grab and go bagel for breakfast so we could spend less time eating and more time exploring the French countryside. On our last day we definitely wanted a quick bite to go since we were checking out of our AirBnB early in the morning and traveling to Le Mans. We found Fournil Saint Nicholas right in the heart of downtown Samumur, they have a variety of breakfast combinations for a cheap price- croissant + coffee for ~3 Euros. Taking a look a the sandwiches I was immediately drawn to the prosciutto/ mozzarella combo so no breakfast combo for me. A sandwich and a latte only set me back around 8 Euros or so which was perfect. I would definitely recommend stopping in if you're looking for a quick grab and go breakfast or lunch. The hostess didn't speak much English but thankfully we were able to order with my combination of 1st grade french and a lot of pointing.
