We sat outside on the patio and did the 32 Euro menu, which included an appetizer, main dish, four cheeses, and a dessert. They also brought out several amuse-bouches, including a cherry tomato with a caramelized sauce, a cucumber mixture, a melon purée, and a tasty white cheese. The meal was paced over 2.5 hours. The fish and foie gras appetizers were tasty, as were the generous spread of cheeses and the chocolate dessert. We tried two main meals - the duck and veal. Neither contained particularly good pieces of meat or sophisticated sauces.

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.
