La Bigoudene sur Bracieux

02/04/2024: Romantic meal for lunch between visiting Cheverny and Chambord. First time for us in a Michelin guide restaurant. Chosen after reading the many excellent, well-deserved comments. Perfect welcome from arrival to departure and it's nothing compared to the plates. Very well controlled cooking, exceptional blend of flavors. Quality appetizers, far from the usual peanuts that make you want to move on. For my part, I loved the cauliflower velouté with smoked salmon crumbs as much as the scallops and langoustines with fresh spinach and orange juice (subtle mix of acidity and sweetness). On the gentleman's side: very tender and perfectly rare piece of beef, succulent mashed potatoes. Followed by a perfectly successful rice pudding with an excellent vanilla taste. And to finish off some colorful and tasty treats. All for a bill of €105 with an aperitif, a bottle of sparkling water, a starter, two main courses, a dessert and a coffee. Completely correct in view of the quality of service and dishes. A must do if you are in the area!!
