Perfect. Highlight of our trip.

We had dinner here at the suggestion of our hotel front desk. Reservations are necessary. As with…read moremany other restaurants in town during the shoulder seasons, there is only one seating per night. There were some vegetarian choices on the menu but notably no vegetarian main course. So I was offered a version of the second vegetarian entrée. It worked out fine. The food was good with some nice presentation and flavor. The service was a bit rushed and somewhat disorganized at times. The interior of the restaurant is stone so sound echoes quite a bit. Dogs seem to be allowed in as we observed one with its owner nearby. Some difficulty paying by card. According to the front desk, they have weak internet signal. This took a long time to sort out. Seems like something that could be fixed.

Food and service to match the best restaurants in Paris…read more We had a long stay in Tours and walked by this small restaurant with a beautiful interior several times. We always saw the same lady with a big smile, serving tables and speaking with customers. We tried to get in twice, but the restaurant was always full. We needed to reserve and we did. We had a wonderful lunch and later, a tremendous dinner. The food and service matches the best restaurants in Paris with 10 times the care and love. The cuisine is modern and creative. The spices are subtle, no heavy creams, not too much butter and accompanied by a small, but varied list of wines by the bottle or the glass from the local regions, as well as some Burgundies and Bordeaux. Next time we will reserve before arriving in Tours.

Wow, what a treat. Four of us participated in their opening day quite by accident and it a very…read morefortuitous accident. We sampled and shared the 3 plate dinner choices and the food was wonderful - a combination of variety of flavors, contrasts and textures in every combination. Fish fowl and fur, interesting/uncommon veggies and fruits, lots of imagination - a great experience. We all left full, very pleased, and wishing we lived closer or could be here more often. And - the service was impeccable from greeting to goodbye.

Pride themselves with using locally sourced product as they identify themselves as "Restaurant Artisanal a Tours'. Very accommodating to non-French speaking guests. Had one of the best oyster dishes as an entree I have ever had called Huitres du Morbihan (famille Mahe) cuisines tiedes & Seichuan. It was 6 oysters on the half shell served warm in a creame sauce over a bed of course sea salt for 11 euros. The dinner for 2 with 3 courses ,wine, and coffee was about 120 Euros. They also offer a 3 course price fixed at 21 euros per person

Don't miss this restaurant while you're in Amboise! Make a reservation! It's a spot you wouldn't…read morejust happen upon (you'll need to follow signs--it's in a dead end). 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.

This was BY FAR our absolute favorite meal in Amboise and perhaps even our entire trip to France…read more They have a 3-course and 5-course prix-fixe menu option; we selected the 3-course and were very satisfied by our choice. The menu was a mystery. We only needed to indicate if we wanted meat or fish for the main course. Note that each of the courses (even the meat and fish courses) are totally different between the 3 and 5-course menus so the 5-course menu had different fish and meat dishes (as well as the other courses) than what we were to receive. We began with tomato biscuits with cremeaux of zucchini, coriander, and lemon. They were delightful! Next, we received another amuse bouche, which was broccoli mousse with peach and celery (sounds a bit odd but it was delicious!). Our official first course of the three came next. This was maybe my favorite course--white beans with red pepper gelee, chorizo sauce, sweet pepper sauce, fried chorizo, and pickled mustard seeds. I was really impressed by the variety of flavors and textures and everything just went so well together. I love beans and this was such a gorgeous way to elevate them. This fish course for our menu was a Merlu fillet (a type of European hake) with different textures of tomato, served with basil sabayon. This was another home run. I loved the fish. It was cooked perfectly, and the tomato and basil flavors were subtle yet perfectly complemented the fish. Keep in mind our meal was in August 2025 so these ingredients were in season at the time. For dessert we had two different desserts between the two of us: lemon tart and "the prince with fig tree." Both were really beautifully presented and delicious. Service was also excellent. Every single member of staff who came to our table, from the server to all the food runners, asked us if we prefer English or French and then spoke to us in that language to explain the dishes. I really appreciated this and noticed they asked the same question to every single table. That to me really highlighted that they were intentional and placed importance on ensuring each customer had the best experience they could and fully understood what they were eating. I would absolutely recommend Les Arpents to anyone visiting Amboise, and I hope I have the opportunity to visit again someday. It was a really highlight of this trip.

I wanted to try the other flavors, but sadly did not have enough room.

This was a little gem of a find! Right across the walls of Amboise Chateau, they serve the best…read morecrepes I have ever had, ANYWHERE. The only problem is which crepes to pick, as everything they have is so good: Savory or Sweet, you name it. The best way to order: Close your eyes, pick up the menu, and order what your finger meets the menu: Will save you a lot of time trying to decide what to order :-) The seating is outdoors, causal, with a cobblestone street between you and the chateau. This is quintessential French cafe experience. The waiter/waitress spoke just enough English to do everything right, so no problem if you do not speak a work of French. They were very helpful, making sure you truly enjoy your visit. Tip: If you park your car across the street, do not autoamtically feed the meters. Check the hours when payment is required, and when it is free. I saw a lot of tourists wasting their money when parking was actually free.
