Quite surprising but this place is in the middle of an
island on the Vienne river. The traditional cuisine doesn’t move an inch
towards modernity. Supreme

perfecdtly. Menus from 16 to 38 €. A la carte

Here it is simple: they propose an “assiette” with 6 regional specialties
for 13 €. Great success for this place and they deserve it. The
house alone is worth a look, so beautiful!
They sell also regional products like charcuteries, Chinon wines, honey, etc.
Young and sympathetic reception.

What can I say about this place? Nice cadre and original table settings,
inventive cuisine (soufflé au chocolat, quelle merveille!) and the staff is so
friendly and warmhearted. Prices go for menus from 17.75 to 24.50 €.

The chef here is a talented man, and whatever the products of the day, you can
fully trust him. In this other beautiful house (whenever did I take you to an
ugly house you can smell the attraction of the cuisine odors in a dining-room
with a refined, original and warm décor. Menus for 28.50 and 39 €. Advance
bookings strongly advised!
