Fournil St Nicholas - Saumur

J'ai déjeuner un midi. L'accueil était agréable. J'ai pris un burger maison, j'ai été un peu déçu. Mais ce qui m'a le plus gêné est les tarifs que je trouve élevé pour une sandwicherie et par rapport aux boulangeries dans le secteur ou autres sandwicheries.

First the good point. The staff were friendly & helpful. But from then on it was downhill. We had a small travellers lunch to share between the two of use. As you can see from the photo the baguette came in a paper bag rather than on a plate. The taste was only so-so & we were given one serviette for the two of us. Finally a first for me in our years of travelling in Europe. The cafe has no toilet for it's customers. You get asked to go to a public one down the street!

This place is open from 6 AM well into the night serving coffee and light snacks. Very pleasant service and very central.

Took a breather here whilst walking around the town. It’s just off the road in the pedestrian area so we took advantage of the small outside seating area with our 4-legged friend. We enjoyed a lovely raspberry ice cream, café religieuse pastry (the best I had in our 2 week holiday), latte and Americano. Friendly, a good price and quick service. Returned twice more during our holiday for takeout pain au chocolat. Yummy!

I love crusty, flavorful baguette and buttery, flaky croissant. We tried the traditional baguette and one croissant. The croissant was too soft and puffy and didn't have that powerful, rich flavor. It was just OK. The baguette was decent toasted with butter and/or jam. However, there are better places in town for bread.
