La Bella'Siette sur Saumur

10/02/2026: 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!

07/02/2026: 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!
