Le Grand Monarque sur Azay-Le-Rideau

22/12/2025: A very pleasant lunch this Monday, December 22nd. A two- or three-course menu caters to both large and small appetites. The flavors are delightful: homemade gingerbread, soft, fragrant, and not too sweet, which perfectly complements chicken livers and a fresh mixed salad with herbs and pumpkin seeds, balsamic vinegar; salmon with lemon and capers accompanied by slightly crisp vegetables, mushrooms, and creamy mashed potatoes; and a plate of local goat's or cow's milk cheeses. The tea selection is excellent. The grape juice is locally sourced. Coffee and café crème with an aniseed pastry provide a pleasant end to the meal. The ground-floor dining room is welcoming, bright, and comfortable. The service is very friendly, smiling, and attentive. Thank you for this wonderful culinary experience.

09/12/2025: Not a huge selection, but what is offered is fresh and very well cooked. Excellent value for money.
