L'essentiel

A bit out of the way if you&rsquo;re staying in Amboise but worth the 5 minute drive from city center. Our waiter was extremely friendly and the food was excellent. It was a very hot day so we started with a very cold beer that hit the spot perfectly.

First-rate experiences all round. The ambience of the dining room very elegant in an understated way. The service was similar with experienced servers willing to share their knowledge upon asking. The food was phenomenal. The halibut was probably the finest I have ever eaten and the boeuf Rossini was another stand out. The cheese trolley was also formidable. We will surely return after the major makeover of the hotel is completed. One for your address book.

The restaurant was recommended to us by our Airbnb host and was highly rated on Google. I think we might have just had a odd bad dinner there. We both ordered the lamb shank, mine was really tender and fell off the bone, but my husband&#39;s portion was very tough and looked undercooked. The flavors were ok, not really our personal taste, but we wanted to be adventurous and try new things. The onion soup was delicious and the bread was very good. They were not able to serve the dessert that we were really looking forward to having (brioche). We were both a bit disappointed, but as I mentioned, I think it was maybe not what most people experience. The staff was busy and running between upstairs seating and the main ground floor. They were very responsive when flagged down for our needs. If we had more days there, I would give it another chance.

France&#39;s Michelin street, but this is a real Michelin, the taste is delicate and gentle, can eat the chef&#39;s focus and exquisite craftsmanship. This is the best meal we have ever had in France. The service is also considerate. Unfortunately, we only stayed for one night at the hotel where the restaurant is located.
