If you are planning a trip to the Loire Valley, please add a stop to Saumur and Bistro Les Tontons…read more To speak plainly, it was one of the highlights of our three week holiday. Gérald and Sarah-Jane are excellent proprietors, well versed in the region and just fantastic individuals to spend time with. Their focus on quality, attention to detail and love of living translate through to Bistrot Les Tontons (in the food, service, tours, and events). Romain (head chef) prepared a solid beef tartare with potato au gratin and fresh green salad. Dessert included the best caramel sauce in 30 years of dining experience. Pros + Excellent execution with friendly and helpful staff + Solid wine selection + Caramel sauce during dessert (the best in 30 years of dining) Cons + I have to fly 14 hours to return I cannot wait to return one day. Major additional points to Gérald's suggestion of Fontevraud Abbey after lunch.

We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and the friendly service. Plus we managed to order everything in French and got what we thought we ordered even including a carafe of tap water. Delicious stuffed mushrooms, tagliatelle pesto with goat cheese, and a giant sicilian pizza (yes, my husband is one of those people who likes anchovies), a demi pitchet of good local white wine- all tasty and under $30 total.

Wow. That's one heck of a Sundae. On Dimanche, no less…read more The pizza was both good and large.

Delicious! Great view! Outdoor seating!…read more There are not many places to eat in this village if you're staying here. But this place is great. Great view of the water, chateau, and pretty garden on site. Great for drinks or dinner. Sat down early... They don't serve dinner until 7ish. So had a drink. Very tasty. And relaxing.... Then moved to another table for dinner. Got the meat plate as an appetizer. Very good. Great bread.... Then the pike perch with ratioulle. So good. Then to top it off the apple tart with fresh whipped cream. That was perfect and hit the spot!!! Mmmmm... The service was very good -- very attentive when needed. It rained halfway through the appetizer and the wait staff was great and made light of the situation. Very refreshing. Everything seems ultra fresh and on point.

Surrounded by locals, both we and our children (ages 9 and 11) felt welcomed and well fed. A hand crafted menu that changes regularly, at a surprisingly economical price - follow Antoine's advice and you can't go wrong! Our best meal in France so far! Bon appetite!

We had eaten in Chinon the previous night, and found that while the quality was comparable or perhaps slightly better, the price, quiet atmosphere and attentive service more than made up for the difference. The husband/wife team worked tirelessly to make our dinner pleasant, and although their English isn't as strong as one might get in a tourist hub - it was more than sufficient! We each had the prix fix menu for under 20 euros, including an appetizer, main, and dessert. With wine and coffee, we spent just less than 60 euros for two - highly competitive in Chinon, where similar prix-fix menus go for between 30 and 40 euros per person. The quality and taste if the food was without reproach, and presented fresh and simple French cuisine at its best. The fish/ratatouille main is a must-try, as is the prawn/fish roulade.
