Wood fired grills are used to prepare beef dishes and a burning fire for ambiance is in the center of the main dining area. We ordered the gourmet three course dinners and they were fabulously French! Nice Amuse-Bouche, wonderful bread with fresh butter, and an after dinner plate of cookies and confections were served gratis. Prices are fair and the food we had was divine.

There were six of us at the table and we picked the first two red wine to try and they were very good.

The chef came out and explained everything to us, but I don't think we were paying a lot of attention. This is a must try if you're in the area. The room is so cozy as it at a Château.

We were seated upstairs and all enjoyed a very hearty meal that fueled us for the rest of our day. I had the pork skewer plate and do wish I would have went with one of the fixed menu options for a smaller portion but I REALLY wanted the gourmet dessert plate with coffee so what is a girl to do?! I had a really wonderful glass of wine as well. Seemed like a really down to earth and fun place where babies and elders alike are welcome to sit and enjoy a meal together. I wish I would have taken a picture of the sign above the toilet discouraging any lingering! Kind of an odd set up - you walk through a closet with a urinal to get to the toilet so I was a smidge worried someone would come in to use the urinal and I'd walk out on them!

They only have 14 small tables indoor and out, which may sound like a lot but trust me, they fill up on reservations and we saw them turn many people away. The menu is very creative, interesting, and delicious. They focus on shareable plates, although you could easily just order your own food if you really wanted. We shared caramel pork with tahini-coconut roasted vegetables and crispy chickpeas; Thai salad with fried chicken; and salmon tataki with paprika oil, chermoula cauliflower, preserved lemon and Medjool dates. As you can see, the flavor profiles really range, but the food is prepared to excellent standards and I don't have a single note or complaint about anything we tried. This was our first meal upon arriving in Amboise and it really set the bar high. I wish we had more time in our trip to dine here again, but I will definitely plan to come back if I'm ever in Amboise again in the future.
