"It's just perfect. A restaurant ranked in the best I could try. A welcoming atmosphere and staff feel the family side and the desire to (very) do well. At the level of dishes, there is a lot of work and quality ingredients and associations of thoughtful and very well proportioned flavors. In only one passage (June 2023) this restaurant conquered me, this second experience to confirm everything that was said above. If you are looking for a restaurant in the corner, don't look anymore and go -y I highly recommend it to you. Bravo to you and the cooks!"

"Hier soir, en famille, 9 à table. Nous avions pris la peine de réserver. 30 après notre installation, aucun serveurs ne s'étaient tjs pas présenté à notre table. Nous décidons dc de les interpeller, 5 min plus tard une serveuse se présente non pas pour nous donner les menus mais pour nous signifier qu'il y aurai encore de l'attente car ils sont débordés... Pas une fois elle nous propose de l'eau pour patienter et encore moins de nous servir l'apero. Au bout de 45min d'attente, on prend finalement notre commande. Passe encore 15 min avant que l'on puisse trinquer et surtout ce déshydrater. Les plats arrivent finalement 1h10 après notre installation mais seulement 5 min après l'apero. Un film à découvrir chip accompagné de frite suspectes et surtout pas cuites. Je renvois donc mon plat et décide de ne pas en recommander un car aux vues du service j'aurai manger après tout le monde. Je prend finalement mon dessert une salade de fruit enfin un coupelle car à 5,50 la salade vous avez le droit à des fruits pas murs. Bref arrive le moment de payer après 2h15 pour 2 plats. Et la surprise aucun geste commercial pour l'attente et encore moins des excuses. Une soirée gâchée à cause de gens qui se disent restaurateurs et qui ne sont pas capable de gérer un 14 août ensoleillé. Je ne recommande pas ce boui boui."

"Arrivati davanti al locale vediamo il cartello di posti esauriti e mentre stiamo per allontanarci il proprietario ci vede e fa segno di entrare scusandosi per non aver ancora aggiornato il cartello all'esterno. Il posto è molto carino e il personale gentile e disponibile a spiegare i vari piatti. La scelta cade su un antipasto, una sorta di carpaccio seguito da un risotto con i gamberi flambee...che il mio ragazzo definisce spettacolare!! Per me un ottimo trancio di salmone fresco con purè. Prendiamo poi un dolce, un simil profitteroles anch'esso decisamente buono. Da bere acqua e vino e conto totale 52 euro. Da provare."

"Nous considérons ce restaurant comme « banal ». En effet, il y’a une jolie présentation des plats, mais les propositions sont réduites et plutôt basiques. Et les légumes d’accompagnement ne sont pas cuits du tout. J’ai d’ailleurs pris des brochettes de Gambas, mais je ne sais toujours pas où est ma salade papaye/mangue, elle est resté sur la liste des disparues. Pas de choix non plus concernant les cocktails. Et gros bémol sur le manque de climatisation, il faisait une chaleur étouffante. Petit conseil : nous vous installez pas niveau fenêtre, il n’y a pas de volet pour vous cacher du soleil. Le personnel était plutôt sympathique, le lieu est calme, mais trop de circulation au niveau des terrasses, enfin bref rien de stupéfiant. Je n’y retournerai pas, il est sûr-côté."

"Stopped off in Blois on our way to Normandy from Loire Valley. Parked at the chateau, car park pretty cheap parking and right in the centre of town. This little place was lovely, charming and service was great and super friendly! Lots to choose from, plus daily specials but as the owner is from Normandy lots of dishes on the menu influenced by flavours and ingredients from that region. We tried the fillet de St Pierre, Volaille Supreme with the potatoes covered in Camembert, the Croustiade de Canard with sauce foie gras all delicious. We ordered a carafe of Rose which was lovely and a steal at only 10 euros. They have a kids option albeit one but good with fresh oven potatoes and steamed chicken plus an array of ice creams, little one was happy."

"De passage par Blois pour la soirée, nous nous sommes arrêté devant cette petite crêperie, trouvée via TripAdvisor. Après lecture de quelques avis positifs, et négatif, nous décidons de tenter l'expérience. Si certains avis on de quoi faire peur, nous n'avons été confronté à un accueil parfait, un service rapide, des galettes très bien servi et délicieuses. Une crêpe pour terminer,m, à 4, le tout en moins d'une heure. Nous n'avons vraiment rien à redire sur la prestation proposée. Quant aux tarifs, certes un peu plus élevé qu'au 'flunch', fait pas exagérer non plus... Ici on fait le caramel maison, la sauce chocolat lait et chocolat noir maison, le coulis de fraise maison, la chantilly maison, etc. Et cela vaut bien un petit supplément à comparer avec la concurrence qui propose des produits industriels totalement inintéressant, insipide,....Bref, Merci pour cet excellent repas.Nous souhaitons aux patrons de recevoir la clientèle qu'ils méritent.La Cigogne."

"Assa is located in a nondescript building on the western edge of Blois. Inside, however, the restaurant displays a spare, modern, Japanese-influenced design. The tables are spaciously arranged on two levels giving all of them access to a direct view of the Loire flowing slowly past. The kitchen is open to the restaurant where the two chef-owners can be seen busily creating the meals. The menu has several format options allowing for the selection of different combinations of appetizers, main courses and desserts; the specific menu contents change based on the available produce. The wine list mainly focuses on Loire Valley wines arranged geographically from the Muscadets of the coastal region to the eastern-most Sancerres. It took some time for the server to acknowledge us when we entered, then take our order, because there was only one person serving all the tables. But, once the dinner began, the experience was wonderful. The dishes are among the most inventive and flavorful we have encountered over the years in many other Michelin-starred restaurants. The non-traditional flavor combinations worked extremely well. The two main courses that night—dourade and veal—were spectacular. Assa is a French, not a Japanese, restaurant, but with a Japanese influence in the flavors and the plating of the dishes. All the dishes we sampled were light and fresh without heavy sauces. The menu was written in French only, and the server spoke very little English, but any sophisticated diner with a broad palate will have a wonderful experience by sitting back and letting the courses flow. As each course is small (a few bites), if you are there for dinner, we do suggest choosing the options with most or all of the courses. Sticking to the classic French “formule” of a starter, main course, and dessert, will be fine for lunch, but perhaps too little at dinner. If we return to this region of the Loire Valley, Assa will be first on our list."

"Petite restauration pour le déjeuner, clientèle d 'habitués, le patron cuisine derrière le comptoir et réchauffe les plats préparés à l 'avance quiche, andouillette découpée avec des pommes de terre... au micro-ondes. Finalement assez cher pour ce qui est servi ; donc pas de quoi s 'extasier et revenir arpenter les escaliers pour y retourner."

"The restaurant is located near the castle of Blois. The menu was in French but our waitress explained it to us in perfect English. All our dishes were very tasty. My wife ordered "Tajine de volaille" and loved it. My "Cochon de lait" was very good as well. One of our kids is vegetarian so they changed the dish of risotto for him, replacing shrimps with mushrooms. The mushrooms were so tasty that we ordered another plate just of mushrooms and they happily provided it though of course it's not part of the menu. It was the best meal in our whole trip and I highly recommend this restaurant."

"For the weekend on Blois and its surroundings, we had dinner last night with my wife in this fabulous restaurant, the reception of the owner of the place is as hot as we asked him advice on the wines of the region not only he knows perfectly the surrounding properties but is in your ear to advise you and do not hesitate to make you taste. As for the meal, we shared a very hearty plate of charcuterie and very rich cheese and two falafel and smoked salmon and a chicken and mushroom dish to finish, we are no longer hungry, while I explained to the owner that I wanted to be wise despite my desire for milk rice, this one kindly offered us to taste, a party. So don’t hesitate for reception, dishes, wines and prices very correct. Thank you for this very good time."

"super establishment where I came to enjoy a taste with my friends. If the frontier doesn't pay for a mine, the interior immediately invites to relaxation and cocooning! very warm welcome, we had a nice place with sofas and coffee table.Width hot chocolate card very varied (black/white/aromatized etc. idem for the wide choice of coffees and teas. The pastries exposed in the showcase are all-enchanted and the generous portions.Hot bakery is worth them.We spent a very good time in a cozy environment with a very pleasant service and very good treats!"

"Very very disappointing, really bad price quality. A burger marked beef and chicken, but the ground meat has no meat taste, for €19, a real scam! Sea couscous, super salty and the semolina has the same taste as the product swollen in hot water...And that adds an unpleasant waitress. What's the point of having a waitress who repeats the same thing to all the customers, without smiling and with an unpleasant tone? Equip a tablet at the table, the order will be taken better! The only positive point is the dessert, chocolate orange praline, very successful. Overall, if you want to have a good meal, go ahead.

"Roasted langoustines with tomatoes, but what tomatoes! Sorbet with a concentrated flavour of tomatoes set upon sliced tomatoes of different types. The rest of the meal was fantastic but the entrée was superbe. Served with professional skills and on the terrasse overlooking the rear wall of the chateau.An evening of delightful touches and flavours."
"We stopped here for an evening meal completely unplanned whilst driving from Orleans to Chinon, as we needed a break from driving. The staff were very welcoming when we walked in and I think it was the manager who greeted us (he spoke good English too which helped! and allocated us a table with a great view overlooking the Loire. All the food and wine we ate/drank here was delicious and very well presented. The stand out dish for us was the Carpaccio de boeuf (which you can have as a starter or a main course and was one of the best we’ve ever tasted."

"Ca faisait très longtemps que nous n'étions pas venus, et maintenant nous nous disons "mais pourquoi avons-nous attendu aussi longtemps ?". Le repas de ce samedi 10 juin était très agréable; une salle chaleureuse, un service sympathique et plein d'humour, et bien sûr, des plats très réussis. L'entrée était un vrai risque : un homard coque bleue servi avec une capilotade de joue de boeuf. Quelle belle surprise ! Les deux ingrédients se répondent, s'associent, alors qu'on s'attendait plutôt à ce qu'ils se chevauchent, ce plat restera longtemps dans nos mémoires. Un vrai plaisir également que le dos de sandre avec ses linguinis à l'encre de seiche et ses langoustines. Avec tout ça, un splendide Pernand-Vergelesses 1er cru 2014 de Romain Chanson, bravo à lui, il tient tout le repas avec aplomb. Merci pour cet excellent moment, il est plus que probable que nous reviendrons."

"We dined here on the first night of our five-night stay in Blois. It's across the river from the main part of town and (presumably) away from where most tourists tend to gravitate to for dining). On the night we were there, there were a few tables that looked like tourists but most looked like locals. I mention this because if a restaurant isn't catering to tourists, they HAVE to be good or else they will go out of business. La Creusille was MORE than good and (just as important), they didn't treat us like tourists! The setting, just off of the Loire, was beautiful and comfortable (important as France was suffering a bad heat wave but as soon as the sun went down, there was a nice breeze off the river), the service was friendly (some English spoken), but the foods were absolutely delicious. I think the only complaint was the rhum baba I had for dessert was drier than I was used to. Additionally, they had a tasty list of wines for very good prices (especially if you are used to the mark-up in the States!). Definitely will be heading back there next time in the Loire and would easily recommend it to anyone going there."

"Alla ricerca di un ristorante a Blois non conoscendo Blois....un po'di fortuna, un pizzico di intuito.Locale curato, a evidente conduzione familiare, scelta di pietanze buona, cortesia e professionalità aporezzabile. Le portate, dall'entree al dessert, giuste nelle quantità, ottime nel gusto (anche le fette di barrette, indispensabile per noi Italiani).Scelta di vini più che sufficiente.Il tutto in ambiente caratteristico che ci ha messo a nostro agio.Il costo....sicuramente più che buono il rapporto qualità prezzo.Per i cicloturisti di passaggio, e non solo, consigliato.Se possibile prenotare, noi (eravamo in 6) siamo stati fortunati grazie ad una rinuncia ad una prenotazione dell'ultima ora."
