Restaurant Relais de Tours Nord sur Parcay-Meslay

21/09/2026: The biggest challenge is finding the restaurant. It's a rather unappealing new building nestled among budget hotels and commercial properties. Inside, however, it's a lovely, cozy space. The kitchen offers attractive, imaginative menus, expertly prepared, such as classic duck liver terrine or lobster and langoustine salad, redfish in a curried mussel sauce, sweetbreads, and a Grand Marnier soufflé. Prices range from €41 to €70, depending on the selection. Excellent value for money, including the wines.

18/09/2026: I've been a fan of L'Arche de Meslay for a long time, where I eat regularly, but a few things bother me. The owner and his wife are charming, which isn't the case for their two employees who serve like robots. One of them is the sommelier but doesn't share anything about the wines, and the wine list doesn't live up to the quality of the food. Since the owners returned from their well-deserved vacation, the prices have gone up considerably while the quality of the food has decreased. I was disappointed by my last visit, especially since the value for money was previously one of the best in the area.
