"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."

"We dined here on the first night of our five-night stay in Blois. It's across the river from the main part of town and (presumably) away from where most tourists tend to gravitate to for dining). On the night we were there, there were a few tables that looked like tourists but most looked like locals. I mention this because if a restaurant isn't catering to tourists, they HAVE to be good or else they will go out of business. La Creusille was MORE than good and (just as important), they didn't treat us like tourists! The setting, just off of the Loire, was beautiful and comfortable (important as France was suffering a bad heat wave but as soon as the sun went down, there was a nice breeze off the river), the service was friendly (some English spoken), but the foods were absolutely delicious. I think the only complaint was the rhum baba I had for dessert was drier than I was used to. Additionally, they had a tasty list of wines for very good prices (especially if you are used to the mark-up in the States!). Definitely will be heading back there next time in the Loire and would easily recommend it to anyone going there."

"Arrivati davanti al locale vediamo il cartello di posti esauriti e mentre stiamo per allontanarci il proprietario ci vede e fa segno di entrare scusandosi per non aver ancora aggiornato il cartello all'esterno. Il posto è molto carino e il personale gentile e disponibile a spiegare i vari piatti. La scelta cade su un antipasto, una sorta di carpaccio seguito da un risotto con i gamberi flambee...che il mio ragazzo definisce spettacolare!! Per me un ottimo trancio di salmone fresco con purè. Prendiamo poi un dolce, un simil profitteroles anch'esso decisamente buono. Da bere acqua e vino e conto totale 52 euro. Da provare."

"Warm welcome, extremely friendly and inviting staff, real French cuisine from the terroir in a unique setting and at a perfectly correct price. Address that I note in my little notebook, I will return without hesitation when I am passing through the area. P.S.: The chocolate melt is quite divine!"

"As a group of four girls, we arrived on the evening of Saturday May 18 reservation made 2 hours before , we were hungry, because we were very disappointed at lunch in another restaurant! We haven 't been to Les Tisons for a long time 1 year , so we 're expecting a classic meal. We sit down, accompanied by a charming gentleman the manager? . We order... And a short time later... The dishes arrive...and there!... The conversations between girls turn into um, um, it 's really good, um.. throughout of the meal....!!! And when the chef makes his little tour around the room, our taste buds congratulate him... in fact, he 's been new for 6 months , and then we understand why this evening 's great dishes will, for sure, make us come back soon , between girls of course to discover the other dishes , but also each with our entourage to introduce them to these delicious dishes. The revival of this small restaurant is a very nice discovery... Highly recommended to all those who want to have a good time, among a friendly and professional team, in a very pleasant setting. See you soon to discover the other dishes cooked with great attention for our greatest pleasure..."
