My wife and I don't speak French but LOVE French cuisine. We arrived with no reservation and decided to do the 7-course tasting menu because we couldn't read the menu. We are so glad we did! Every course was an exquisite example of a chef that respects his ingredients and takes full advantage of the region. I would love nothing more than to give you a play by play dissertation of each course, but in most instances we had no idea. What we did know is that we loved each and every course. Simply fantastic! Great wine list and great service, not to mention the chef personally delivered half of the courses!

That will be the subject of a separate and well deserved review. Our dinner at L'Origan for 4 cost something approaching $500. Was it worth it? Yes, this was a life experience to be remembered as to how fine food should be served by skilled staff and a knowledgeable sommelier. Our local Loire Valley red and white wines were very good and the sommelier sensitive to our timing for service of the two wines. All four of us chose different starters to the meal and I took the criticism from my duck loving guest for my fois gras which was absolutely delicious. Illegal in California from where we hail, it was worth taking the heat! Crab meat and other starters were met with equal enthusiasm. My wife of some 50 years went into orgasmic delight over her blue lobster entree and I was equally impressed with my rare beef dish. An impressive array of fine cheeses followed my entree and the goat cheese which actually looks like a Brie is highly recommended. My mouth is watering at the thought of returning. If visiting a Montbazon, this is a must visit.

Thankfully we were able to get a table without a reservation as it was indeed excellent. It was also obvious that it was a local favorite with several tables clearly occupied by couples on a date night. We decided to have 2 courses each and share a dessert. For starters we had the foie gras and a warm salad with quail. Followed by entrées of fish and pork loin. And a dessert that was essentially a very indulgent Brioche French toast. Everything was quite impressive but I do think the first course and dessert triumphed over the entrées. In any case I'd go back again if I were back in the area. The service was also on point and friendly.
