Auberge des ecuyers sur Saumur

A very warm welcome and pleasant setting. We had a wonderful meal, featuring local specialties. Excellent value for money. A place to discover or rediscover, as we did!

We were charmed by this very friendly, welcoming bistro where the food is good and reasonably priced. It was 1:30 pm on Friday, and given the weather, the restaurants on the street were far from full, and most had already closed their kitchens. We arrived at this place and managed to find a table, as the restaurant was packed. The decor is simple but has a soul that you feel as soon as you walk in; you feel comfortable and as if you've been there countless times. Fabien, the owner, a true epicurean, is at the helm behind his bar and also helps out in the dining room when needed. He is expertly assisted by… (she forgot to give me her name) a professional waitress who is extremely helpful, attentive to her customers, and remarkably kind! As for the daily special, it was flawless: the quality, the portions, the taste… and the homemade fries were a real treat (and I know what I'm talking about, I'm Belgian 😉😀), you could come just for that! If you're a wine lover 🍷, you'll be in heaven, as the wine list would make 3-star restaurants green with envy, the variety is so vast! And if you're on good terms with the owner and/or a regular, you can enjoy a verbena elixir while chatting with him at the bar as you pay your (very reasonable) bill! The only reason I'm not giving it 5/5 is for the back room… there's only one toilet, and it's a pain when it's busy… anyway, I highly recommend it!

A warm welcome... A generous portion... we thoroughly enjoyed it! I highly recommend this bistro with its wood-fired oven!

On a business trip, first time in Saumur. Great restaurant. It's everything I expect from a bistro. Friendly welcome. Discovered simple and excellent regional dishes. Fairly priced bill. Congratulations!

Warm welcome, good service. Delicious dish.

The service was very average today. After receiving a reservation confirmation by email on December 21, 2025, there were no tables available and we had to wait for one to become free. No compensation was offered. Otherwise, the meal was very good, and the set menu was perfect.

For the pleasure of tasting regional specialties.

We had a wonderful meal! The galipettes and foués were excellent! The welcome was very pleasant, and the service was quick. We will definitely return if we have the opportunity.

Excellent welcome from the owners and waiters; we had a very good meal. We were just passing through the area and had a wonderful time. A truly top-notch team, very attentive to their customers. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it.

A welcome as warm as the delicious food served
