We are always tempted by the other things on the menu but the burger (with BBQ sauce, a rare thing in France) wins every time. There's friendly service and a nice shady terrace on a warm day.

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.

Excellent find in Azay. Simple yet flavorful menu, lovely view of the château, friendly staff,…read moreoutside seating available, and reasonable prices. We ate there twice during our stay. The vegetarians loved it as much as the carnivores.

Oh là là Promenade!…read more We had a memorable meal at la Promenade recently, and what a nice evening it was. Our party of four was welcomed and promptly seated in the dining room on the left of the entry, which is our preference. The menu was full of tempting options but we finally made our selections. Between the four of us we managed to try most everything on the menu. Everything was delicious, and we can't wait to return.

La Promenade is the last thing you would expect in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere: a smallish…read morerestaurant offering michelin-starred French cuisine. The set menus offer a less expensive way to enjoy the food here, but it's still excellent quality. The staff are helpful and attentive, and the sommelier more than glad to help with choosing a wine. The desserts are particularly spectacular. It might be a bit out of the way, but if you find yourself touring the chateaux of the Loire, a detour through the farms and fields to dine here is well worth it.

The second night we returned we were pleasantly surprised that all English speaking customers had made reservations. The owner/waiter stated he was worried his English may not be good enough, but every table was pleased with him. A lentil purée amuse buche followed by beets cooked in many ways with bacon was mind blowing. The braised pork cheeks with carrot purée and calvados broth made us want to pack the restaurant in our suit case and bring them back home! That was followed by a creme brûlée with lychee fruits and a whipped creme that delighted the taste buds. Top that with a bottle of wine paired for the three course meal by the owner. And all of it cost us €77..... Can't beat that. After our second meal there we realized this was in fact the best food we have had in all of France and made a third reservation! The place is always busy, so the small husband and wife staff are very busy, however attentive to your needs. Traditional to French cuisine they make conversation with you when you order and bring the food, however being as cozy as it is, if you need something they are right there to serve you. This place is such a special niche it is very important to make a reservation or you will miss out on a dinner of a lifetime.
