Le Cafe Bondu - Chalonnes-sur-Loire

We stopped while we take a bike tour along the Loire. We enjoyed our choices, especially the chocolate mousse, and service was fast and friendly.

We eat here regularly. The food is always fresh, locally and deliciously cooked. The service is friendly and the location by the river Loire is excellent. We love these guys!

We Avon passes a pleasant time this duty a belly detection to this sweet little town of the Chalons. Welcome to the top. Have a good laugh at dinner. Thank you.

What a great place on the cycle route along the Loire. We stopped for lunch 2 adults/2 children and had a wonderful meal. Simple menu, perfectly cooked food and huge portions. The staff were welcoming and there is an outside play area with toys for...smallish kids. Very reasonable price and quirky furnishing.

We first went to the Cafe Bondu last year when it had literally been open just a few days. It's great to find it's thrived over the last 12 months. It's easily our favourite place to eat around here.The food is uncomplicated, reliably tasty and always excellent value. Of course, good food and good value are by no means uncommon in France, but the Cafe Bondu scores for being so consistently welcoming. The staff are just lovely, always friendly and accomodating, not to mention forgiving of those who do not have French as their mother tongue. No matter how busy they are, they've always squeezed us in.There's a time and a place for Michelin starred establishments, but if you want the antidote to overblown cuisine and overly fussy service, you'll struggle to do better than this.
