Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Tours

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!

22/04/2026: The brioches I bought yesterday weren't cooked enough, weren't golden brown, and had no flavor. In short, they were awful! Where have all the brioches of yesteryear gone?

20/04/2026: I tasted the small plain brioche. If I had known, I would have taken two. It was good without being too sweet.

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.

23/03/2026: I went to a little rock afternoon, it was great! 👍 It's a nice little venue with some nice lighting and a decent sound system. Thanks to my friends who were there and got me dancing so much...🤩

01/03/2026: We went for a special Valentine's Day evening where the menu was €55 per person, including a starter, main course, and dessert, which ended with a chocolate mousse or a canned fruit salad (a bit pricey, don't you think?). There was no water carafe on the table, and we had to ask for our main courses and the aperitifs included in the menu. The starters were completely tasteless (crumbly chopped shrimp and salmon ceviche with no seasoning), and the main courses were cold (bland and dry risotto). We told the owner about our experience, but she said we seemed to be the only ones complaining. There was no compensation offered, which is unacceptable. We do not recommend this place, at least not for the food; otherwise, the atmosphere was pleasant.

20/05/2026: We came on Tuesday at lunchtime and had a very pleasant experience. There was a good selection, and the service was quick. I ordered a tartine, which was very generous and delicious. The waitress was friendly. We'll be back.

20/05/2026: The restaurant is perfectly fine in terms of food, service, and atmosphere. I had a great time with my friends here.

06/05/2026: Dare to step inside this restaurant. Don't be put off by the sometimes less-than-warm welcome. Remember to book ahead, as there are only a few tables. You truly won't be disappointed by the quality of the food! I highly recommend it, having eaten there many times.

03/03/2026: A pleasant surprise, recommended by friends. You have to be one, as the restaurant isn't on a main road and its storefront is unassuming. But the surprise is on the plate: generous portions, high quality... We'll be back.

13/05/2026: Excellent experience, top-notch service, I highly recommend it!

12/05/2026: Fast service with a friendly team

10/06/2026: Staff change... The lunch menu has changed a lot.... The sandwiches.... very, very limited selection. What a shame.

07/05/2026: The products are high quality. The service is impeccable. No minimum purchase amount for credit cards. The door is automatic.

03/06/2026: Hello, be careful, there can be small stones or pieces of plastic inside pastries; I once found a stone in one of their pastries.

21/05/2026: Thanks to Julien for the warm welcome and help choosing the sandwiches. A smile and great energy first thing in the morning! See you soon!
