MAO sur Tours

Being gluten intolerant, it had been a long time since we'd been able to enjoy this type of cuisine. At Mao's, the menu is clear, with allergens listed, and the staff is sensitive to allergies and intolerances. We were even offered a special amuse-bouche, a thoughtful touch that made us feel more confident. The dishes were delicious (spring rolls, lemongrass beef, and filet mignon), and we experienced no symptoms.

Two years ago, I left the following review: "Thai food made by Thais. Excellent. Delicious cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Helpfulness and friendliness are on the menu." What a difference from my experience today! I called to reserve a table, knowing how busy this restaurant is at lunchtime on weekdays. I was given the choice between the counter and a high table, which I chose. So far, so good. When I arrived around 12:50 pm, there were only two people in the dining room, whereas it's usually packed. No one greeted me. There were only three of them... I wondered why there were so few customers. I was told they were all upstairs. I gave my name, saying I had a reservation. They wanted to seat me at the counter, even though I had reserved a high table. Finally, they told me that if I wanted a high table, it had to be the one next to the restrooms because all the others were reserved. Two people in the entire restaurant at almost 1 p.m., and no table for me? So I don't know what's going on. No one from the usual staff, no noise in the kitchen, whereas the place is usually bustling. Has the owner changed? I'll try again in a while because I've been going to this restaurant for ten years and I love it. In any case, if you go into this establishment and there's no noise and no many people seated, keep walking! P.S.: I just drove past the restaurant again. All the reserved tables are empty. A word to the wise...

Beautiful, classy and very good!

I discovered this restaurant when it first opened. I was amazed by the atmosphere and the quality of the food. I went back a while ago and was a little disappointed. The decor has aged a bit, and the food didn't impress me as much as it used to.

Tastefully decorated, with beautiful, colorful, and delicate plates. Subtle flavors and very pleasant service. Bravo!

This is a must-visit restaurant in Tours. The decor is stylish and unique. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always available. The cuisine is refined, the dishes are truly delicious, and you can taste the chef's passion! It's a lovely, welcoming restaurant that I highly recommend for meals with friends or family!

Fantastic! We booked at the last minute, and we were so lucky to find such a lovely restaurant! Welcoming, excellent atmosphere, delicious food, a wonderful time with my friends. I highly recommend it.

First time at this restaurant. A very pleasant surprise. Efficient service. Refined cuisine. Warm welcome. A good place to eat.

A very enjoyable experience, delicious food and excellent service. Highly recommended!

The service was excellent. The kitchen served a dish that should have contained green peppercorns, but it didn't. The plate doesn't lie. After we expressed our disappointment with the taste, the kitchen admitted they had omitted the green peppercorns because they were out of stock. Perhaps they thought we wouldn't notice? I hope other customers didn't unknowingly experience this. The dish was replaced. Overall, the food was good. The service was pleasant.
