Les meilleurs restaurants en Chinon

01/05/2026: This isn't a bakery. They sell firewood by the cut. Avoid it. Its nickname, "Stale Bread," didn't come about by chance... Just like the other bakery above. Avoid it too.

14/04/2026: Very high quality bread and pastries. Baguette was second to none.

31/05/2026: I was there that evening around midnight, and honestly, I think some things need to be put into context. I witnessed an altercation between two customers and a manager. From the start, the customers involved were particularly aggressive, shouting and hurling insults. The manager eventually put an end to the discussion, which is understandable given the tone used. The situation then escalated when one of the customers went behind the counter to continue provoking and insulting the staff. Another manager intervened to try to calm things down, but without success. The individuals involved ultimately left the restaurant, continuing to insult the employees. Whether or not one is satisfied with the service, nothing justifies this kind of behavior. Employees and managers are still human beings and deserve a minimum of respect. Seeing the scene, I can understand why the team didn't want to continue the conversation under such circumstances.

30/05/2026: I would like to share my experience at the McDonald's drive-thru in Chinon. I arrived at the drive-thru at 10:37 PM, even though the restaurant closes at 11:00 PM. After waiting in line for about 10 minutes, I was told that the car in front of me would be the last one served, and then the employee turned off the microphone. I then went inside the restaurant to get an explanation. An employee told the manager, "He'll be right back." When the manager arrived, he told me he wouldn't serve me. When I reminded him that the restaurant was still open according to the posted hours, he replied that if I wasn't happy, I should just go to the McDonald's in Tours, which closes later. I also pointed out that the opening hours indicated a closing time of 11:00 PM. The manager told me he didn't care, that "that's just how it is," that he did what he wanted, and that he didn't have enough staff. I can understand the difficulties related to staff shortages, but that's no reason to refuse service to customers who arrived before closing time or to speak to them that way. It's unprofessional and disrespectful. In the end, what I'll remember most is the manager's particularly haughty attitude, who seemed to consider a customer arriving before closing time more of a problem than a customer to be satisfied. The good news is that he won't have to worry about me anymore: living only 700 meters from the restaurant and coming here regularly, I'll now make things easier for him by going elsewhere. It's a shame, because losing a loyal customer over a meal refused at 10:47 p.m. when closing time is 11:00 p.m. is practically a commercial feat. I wish the team good luck nonetheless. As for the manager, if he ever starts a training course entitled "How to Lose Customers in Less Than Five Minutes," I'm ready to attest to his expertise.
