Le Valmy sur Tours

11/12/2025: The service and atmosphere were rather cold; I had the distinct impression I was bothering them. I ordered an individual plain brioche. My opinion: the texture is very pleasant, slightly crispy on the outside and very soft on the inside. Everything you'd expect from a brioche. However, it was too salty, and this overpowered the slightly buttery flavor of the brioche, which I unfortunately didn't taste. It's also not at all greasy, which is very nice. If the salt were less pronounced, it would be one of the best brioches I've ever eaten; unfortunately, the salt makes it rather cloying. :(

10/12/2025: Following some promising experiences a few months ago, an unexpected disappointment has now set in. It's clear that while the texture of the brioches hasn't changed, the taste is no longer what it used to be. A little too salty for my taste, and perhaps less indulgent than before, these brioches, as they stand, now face stiff competition. And as has been mentioned many times, the service remains cold, even discourteous. Some adjustments are therefore necessary if this once-renowned establishment is to experience its former glory again.
