Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Tours

02/05/2026: Excellent place. We discovered this establishment by chance and we weren't disappointed. It's run by two passionate people who offer homemade dishes paired with wine. If we're ever back in Tours, we'll definitely return.

02/05/2026: Not bad, but not exceptional either.

08/03/2026: Good value for money. Only one downside: the person who took our payment (the one who cooks? In any case, not the one who served us) wasn't very friendly. Of course, I told her we were giving up on coffee, that we'd waited 20 minutes without it arriving, even though the restaurant was far from crowded. There was only one person in the dining room, and one in the kitchen/dining area, apparently, but I imagine that's enough for about fifteen customers. Sorry we didn't wait any longer, but we have better things to do than wait for coffee, and no "excuse us" either from this person who, to top it off, frowned because my card didn't work the first time (I took it out too soon, it's my fault, but not a big deal). I'm therefore a bit disappointed by this attitude; it doesn't make me want to return to this restaurant, even though the galettes are quite good. The service was slow, but the waitress was practically alone for about fifteen diners.

19/01/2026: This is an informed review following a disastrous experience at this "brasserie." The restaurant boasts a pleasant setting and an attractive storefront, but that's where its appeal ends. The menu offered few dishes, which often suggests homemade cuisine, so we were initially confident. We ordered three appetizers: a kidney puff pastry, a spinach and goat cheese tart, and a country terrine. Our main courses were three duck breasts with orange sauce (an extra €3) and sliced ​​beef with pepper sauce. We also ordered a floating island dessert, a San Pellegrino, and two glasses of St. Nicolas de Bourgueil. The result: a rather spicy puff pastry, a relatively greasy terrine, and a tart replaced by a quiche Lorraine (which was also very salty). We mentioned this, and were told that the chef hadn't informed us. Next up: the duck breast was sinewy and quite tough (a sign of poor quality), roughly sliced ​​lengthwise, and the orange sauce was nonexistent; instead, there was a jar of some kind of stock with leftover shreds of meat to which small pieces of orange had been added. And the side dish was something I'd never seen before: potatoes, lentils, and carrots. A complete mismatch. As for the sliced ​​beef, our daughter ate absolutely nothing, just the salad. The beef was overcooked (resembling boiled meat), and there was no pepper sauce as promised. Faced with this litany of errors, we put an end to the carnage and cancelled dessert. Finally, they don't accept Connect holiday vouchers, only the paper version. The bill came to €95.70. Change the chef or call in Philippe Etchebest… when there’s nobody in a restaurant, you have to ask yourself some questions… (the bistro was taken over under a lease agreement in January 2025, from what I’ve seen)

24/12/2025: Good food and very good service!

06/03/2026: INCREDIBLE ✨️ I couldn't try everything, but what I did taste was truly exceptional. Incredible flavors, the sauces are amazing, and the chicken spring rolls are the best I've had in the last 10 years! I recommend it to anyone who wants a great meal 😙👌

03/02/2026: The shop smells amazing, it's like being transported ✨ The service was outstanding, Isabelle was so pleasant and smiling – exactly the kind of place and encounter that will make your day 😁

22/05/2026: The galettes were delicious!!🤩🫠 and the service was excellent too, thank you!

15/05/2026: Meh. The bare minimum on the plate for the price. Very cramped, so don't expect to eat in peace... You're either near the toilets/kitchen or near the entrance, and consequently, there's a lot of drafts. Tourists like me, steer clear. It's not quite a tourist trap, but almost.

18/04/2026: Excellent value for money. Impeccable service, nothing to complain about, I highly recommend it.

16/04/2026: Passing through Tours, I stumbled upon this place and was able to have lunch at 3 pm! Without a reservation, I was able to get a table and a solution for lunch. No complaints whatsoever, except that the staff is very friendly, welcoming, and attentive to customers. Served very quickly, the meal was good quality and reasonably priced. Need a quick lunch or a drink? This is a great spot!

08/05/2026: Excellent welcome Food as expected Fast service Affordable

04/05/2026: A fantastic family-run restaurant! We had a wonderful time at this family-run establishment. The food is generous and delicious, with excellent value for money. Also worth noting: the option to reserve a private room with its patio. A truly charming space, ideal for a meal with friends, a birthday celebration, or a family gathering in an intimate and welcoming setting. A place to remember without hesitation!

20/10/2025: The most beautiful spot among the Tours open-air cafés! A slice of nature in the heart of the city, what a blast! Local produce is a priority, very friendly service, a maximum 5-minute wait during rush hour—a true El Dorado in Tours! Open-air cinema, children's games, an area protected by the LPO (Lands Protection Agency), a little piece of paradise for the senses! I highly recommend it!

22/04/2026: First and last time here. Little explanation of how it works, unfriendly saleswoman, and in the end, expensive for just a wrap.

03/04/2026: I really like this place in the evening, and now they also serve hot dishes in addition to their legendary build-your-own salads! I chose a large porcini and boletus mushroom soup and Bombay chicken as my main course, and it was fantastic!

28/03/2026: Excellent restaurant, the staff are very attentive, highly recommended! And as they say in this restaurant: "everything is good in the pig!"

28/03/2026: Exceptional friendliness! High-quality food and a truly warm welcome! A wonderful experience, I highly recommend it!

23/05/2026: The welcome, service, and food were all top-notch! 👍 A special thank you to the gentleman who served us; he was very professional and pleasant. Harry Potter collaboration... Magical ❤️

19/05/2026: Two dishes ordered were not available... what a shame

16/05/2026: Unfortunately, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. We were the very first guests – we even arrived 15 minutes before the official opening time – and still had to wait an unbelievable 1.5 hours for our food. My husband's steak was simply disgusting – tough, tasteless, and obviously poorly prepared. The fries looked like they'd been reheated three times: limp, greasy, and absolutely unappetizing. On top of that, the service was unfriendly. It felt like they didn't care about the guests at all, as long as new tourists kept coming in. No interest in quality, no interest in the guests' well-being. I've traveled all over Europe and visited a great many restaurants – but I've rarely had such a bad experience. I honestly can't understand how this restaurant is always packed. Perhaps it only survives on its location and not on quality or service. Worst of all, this experience has unfortunately ruined our impression of Tours. As a visitor, you're really looking forward to enjoying the city, eating well, and taking home wonderful memories. Instead, we leave disappointed and annoyed. It's a shame, because places like this ruin the impression of what is actually a beautiful city. Avoid this place if you want to keep your spirits up.

10/05/2026: Finally, a traditional restaurant that doesn't charge exorbitant prices. I recommend it if you enjoy good food.

04/06/2026: We stopped here for lunch and had a good meal. My wife had a pizza while I went for the poke bowl and we both had a pineapple smoothie. All of it was very nice and the staff were very friendly. Overall we couldn't fault it

01/06/2026: The food was excellent, and the staff were very friendly. I recommend it.
