Chef's Restaurant

Kevin and Stéphanie uphold the fine reputation of this village inn, which evokes memories of Balzac. They have preserved all the historic charm of this half-timbered building while infusing it with modern comfort and style. This extends even to the plates, which the young chef enhances with seasonal ingredients and a true creative flair, where vegetables shine alongside farm-raised meats and fresh-caught fish: Touraine snails in spinach ravioli with confit garlic, fish of the day with carrots, mussels, and Breton curry broth; pork tenderloin in a salt and hay crust with tarragon mousseline and a rich walnut sauce—all part of the excellent five-course menu at €82, culminating in a dessert of pear baba with honey ganache and licorice ice cream. An extensive Loire Valley wine cellar featuring numerous wines from independent producers.
