"we have eaten here to celebrate the birthday of my wife, and it was an excellent experience. the dining room is large and so the tables are not too close to each other - good for covid times! we all took the menu opidom 55€. the starter of the long-lasting tails. a joy to see and eat - it was served with a small cup bisque with ingwer spiced. the main course of St.Jacques was really unusual and a surprise of taste and texture. the dessert of vanilla and chocolate was another visual tasty bite followed by great aromen. a good espresso finished an excellent meal. I drove so no wein tried, but the sommelier gave good advice, the others enjoyed their bottle touraine chenonceaux. very good service and a nice relaxed atmosphere, 277€ for four may appear high, but it was worth every cent."

"Nice frame. Good cooking. I join previous opinions on the uninvested service, not announcing the dishes and not very jovial. Otherwise you'll eat well! A tip, check your invoices at the end to avoid finding yourself with a complete menu instead of a dish/dessert."

"Une expérience sympa mais largement en deçà du cadre du agréable du restaurant O&A à Tours, pour des prix similaires. Nous avons opté pour l’option entrée plat dessert, avec une flûte de pétillant, pour environ 50€/personne. L’œuf parfait en entrée était plutôt un œuf frit, avec une sauce malheureusement très salée. En plat, pour ma part, le bar était excellent, de même que la poitrine de porc pour mon chéri. Petit regret que la carte propose 2 choix de poissons et 3 choix de viande, mais aucune option végétarienne ! Quant au dessert, nous avons pris une crème catalane au café qui n’en était pas une, mais plutôt une crème très écoeurante que d’ailleurs nous n’avons pas finie. Côté décoration, le sol en béton ciré, les meubles carrés et la lumière blanche passent à côté d’une ambiance cosy. C’est dommage. Le service était rapide et les serveuses qui se sont occupé de nous étaient cordiales et gentilles, mais très juniors. Bref, on attend quelques efforts pour que l’expérience soit au niveau des prix et de l’ambition affichée. Vegetarian options: Pas d’options végétariennes à la carte. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €50–60 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2 Parking space: Plenty of parking"

"Restaurant absolutely excellent and irreproachable welcome in a beautiful setting. I highly recommend! Thanks to the chef and all the staff for the quality of this dinner. The white wine (Vouvray sec) was perfect, the delicious entrance with a great finesse of flavors, the dish was also succulent with a true richness and delicateness of the dishes. All in the palate, cooking is perfect and flavors are filled with very well chosen sauces or accompaniments. I recommend the homemade cocktail, very good. The dessert followed the quality of the dishes: delicious. Thank you also for the small aperos proposed upon arrival. Very good value for money. It was a very good couple time in an excellent restaurant. Bravo and thank you!"

"l’auberge de port vallieres offers elegant yet casual fine eating and validated my guess that fondette’s influential commuter suburb of tours was. (instead of the historical Loire villages below we ate here on both Saturday evenings of our holiday, and both paint. every table was filled with wealthy locals who relax after busy weeks in large offices. the building may have been a building or a castle; in these days there are two large, inconspicuous rooms decorated with an appealing series of modern art and sculpture. between the atmosphere and the friendly staff it feels more like a restaurant in a house of a human than a restaurant. it also holds an assault michelin, a new evaluation of the guides introduced last year to name good food just this description seems that a level below the bib gourmand that was the certification just below the star level ... but l’auberges aromen and presentation were far over easy. eating is resolute classic: foie gras, delicate fish dishes, rich meat, sauces as deep as a black hole, extensive cheese car, artistic bakery. we tried to visit the cooking menu at the first and were shocked to be served instead of the usual small tellers of many meals full-fledged portions. at the end of five, plus amuse bouche and typical awesome French brote, we were unhappy full. the next visit we went back to three courses with full satisfaction. also the auberge has fortunately denied an impression that we had developed on previous travels that the French did not really fit to make weeping flights that were standard according to the pile standards, instead of thinking carefully about games. the flight here carefully selected glasses to complement each cure. none of the quirky, charming surprises English sommeliers often slip in. all French, although many of beyond the loire. but everyone nicely matched with the court. the main course at our first visit proved to be the point of adaptation: the calves and their sauce was so overly rich, with a light mineral undertone, which is absolutely necessary to complete the sharp bite of the Pinot noir. only after we had come home, and back to wifi, I could see the translation of ris de veau and realized that I had only eaten sweets. this is the beauty of a tasting menu in a foreign language. would never have ordered it alone. probably no longer order. but in this night, with this wee, it was delicious."
