L'orangeraie - Saumur

This has to be the closest restaurant to the Chateau Saumur the view from our table was Ike a postcard. The 7 of us arrived on a bustery Thursday at 12:30 in October and were one of the few large tables but can imagine it is also can be totally full on a sunny Sunday. Plan accordingly as most cafes close from 2 5pm daily. We dotted both prix fix and ala Carte. Highlights were the escargot en croute, a crispy chicken salad and the fish of the day. Best cream brûlée we had all trip and did I mention the view?

Formule 3 services impeccable. Service très sympa. Très belle cuisson des légumes et du poisson. Dessert gourmand et réconfortant.

Cela fait plusieurs fois que nous venons manger ici et nous ne sommes jamais déçus. Le personnel est efficace, souriant et drôle. La qualité et la présentation des plats sont excellentes. Certains râleurs diront que c'est un peu long, mais c'est parce que les plats sont préparés à la commande, ce qui contribue à la qualité des assiettes. En tant qu'habitants de Saumur, nous venons régulièrement et surtout en dehors des périodes très touristiques.

Small stop to drink a drink and finally we stayed to eat. Although the staff is very few because of recruitment problems, the waiting was reasonable and the very friendly staff. the kitchen is excellent and the reasonable price for a lunch on the terrace with view of the castle. I recommend without hesitation!

Good value quality price. welcoming staff. good mood
