"the accident on a rewarding restaurant, while the journey always leads to happiness, and that is one of them. the brasserie, which is open for lunch and Thursday/Friday Gourmand dinner, has a real cook in the kitchen. each court gives special attention. it is easy to cook with a magic whirlpool, fresh ingredients and fair trips. bark seems to be in the middle and at the days we ate here it was a plat du jour choice. while no French beef fan, this chef (olivier defosse) could make it change. his menu has at least and the choices of the main plate (as mentioned bark meat, but always another meat like pork or hawn), dessert choice. the daily menu is highly recommended, to good trips. here hits gum on the street and the talent of the cook can best be appreciated, even if the choices are not their favorites, they will be at the end. the wine list was more than sufficient, with selection of glass, pichet or bottle. again, quite expensive. the interieur is simple, peaceful, modern. the restaurant fills up quickly for lunch and lunch is sold out. it is located at the main entrance of the village, near the castle, so perfectly placed for visitors. it is served and excellent review by us, the type of food kept in the eye. ask for the Gourmand dinners (on Thursday and Friday), which were really a special and good value for money. we're sorry to miss it."

"We stopped here on a very busy Sunday afternoon. We wanted to sit outside, but it was completely booked. We went inside and asked the waitress, who I would assume was the wife of the chef. She said they were full, but found us a...table. Even in the afternoon it had a linen tablecloth and napkins. The diners outside were bicyclers from many countries, inside was mostly French people. The menu was written on a blackboard, with another blackboard with the daily specials. The waitress was very personable and really kept the tempo going. While she spoke no English, she was easy to understand and told many stories. The menu is pretty traditionally French but the special of the day was Veau du morels. This was a veal meatloaf, sitting on top of a piece of veal, which was wrapped en croute. Very unusual and very good. We chose a Hubert Brocard Sancerre from a small but nice wine list. The view is very nice, as the restaurant sits right at the end of the bridge across the Loire in Chateauneuf. Very casual outside on the terrace, but more formal inside. Good food at reasonable prices. Plus a very nice and amusing waitress."

"The super nice surprise of the day: when we arrived at the end of the service, the welcome was very pleasant. Dishes like desserts are homemade, quality and plentiful, very tasty and at a very affordable price! The staff is courteous and smiling! Quite simply, this restaurant has nothing to envy of more expensive local addresses... We will return there without hesitation. Goat spinach lasagna with fresh spinach and generous goat cheese, well-dressed pizza, tarte tatin with very tasty crème fraîche, succulent raspberry bavarois, everything was a success."

"En arrivant sur les lieux à 13h30, très grand sourire de la part de la dame qui te met direct à l’aise, mais malheureusement C’est la première fois que cela m’arrive dans un restaurant chinois connaissant pas les lieux, et les horaires, je suis complètement déçu, je ne remettrai pas les pieds J’ai commencé par une entrée Au moment de la finir, je lui redemande une autre portion, et elle me dit clairement plus de cuisinier, on sert plus c’est fini et on t’attend à la caisse. J’avais encore faim On te met à la porte Je trouve ça, scandaleux pitoyable le client est roi"
