"Assa is located in a nondescript building on the western edge of Blois. Inside, however, the restaurant displays a spare, modern, Japanese-influenced design. The tables are spaciously arranged on two levels giving all of them access to a direct view of the Loire flowing slowly past. The kitchen is open to the restaurant where the two chef-owners can be seen busily creating the meals. The menu has several format options allowing for the selection of different combinations of appetizers, main courses and desserts; the specific menu contents change based on the available produce. The wine list mainly focuses on Loire Valley wines arranged geographically from the Muscadets of the coastal region to the eastern-most Sancerres. It took some time for the server to acknowledge us when we entered, then take our order, because there was only one person serving all the tables. But, once the dinner began, the experience was wonderful. The dishes are among the most inventive and flavorful we have encountered over the years in many other Michelin-starred restaurants. The non-traditional flavor combinations worked extremely well. The two main courses that night—dourade and veal—were spectacular. Assa is a French, not a Japanese, restaurant, but with a Japanese influence in the flavors and the plating of the dishes. All the dishes we sampled were light and fresh without heavy sauces. The menu was written in French only, and the server spoke very little English, but any sophisticated diner with a broad palate will have a wonderful experience by sitting back and letting the courses flow. As each course is small (a few bites), if you are there for dinner, we do suggest choosing the options with most or all of the courses. Sticking to the classic French “formule” of a starter, main course, and dessert, will be fine for lunch, but perhaps too little at dinner. If we return to this region of the Loire Valley, Assa will be first on our list."

"We were a group of four adults on a mini tour of the Loire Valley and found this restaurant on TripAdvisor, booking from the UK a few days before our arrival. Had we not reserved, we wouldn't have been seated ... People were being turned away as it was full from early on Saturday evening. We were pleasantly surprised to have been allotted a table outside which was most welcome given the muggy temperature. Service was provided by two very jolly, friendly and helpful young men! We chose the rillettes starter which was to die for and steak and guineafowl between us for main, perhaps not the most tender of beef however we weren't paying extortionate prices and the flavour was lovely and presentation excellent. With only two of us having dessert as we had eaten enough really, the price came in at around €25 each including drinks and tips. Given the location in the picturesque old town with its timbered buildings, quaint, narrow streets and not far from the river, we thought this was quite reasonable. There is a secure underground car park next to the main road along by the river which is a ten minute stroll to the restaurant at most."

Tout d'abord, le cadre est idyllique, l'intérieur est bien décoré dans le style Shabi-chic, la terrasse installée dans la "cour des miracles" est très agréable !
