Au martin bleu - Tours

The 31 euro menu was good value for money, my smoked salmon starter served with beetroot hummus was excellent and there was loads of it. The Foie starter was also outstanding. We both had Steak with Bleu D'auvergne served with Dauphinoise potatoes for main course, perfectly cooked and tender, not like your average French Entrecote experience. Refreshing Nougat Parfait with raspberry coulis was a great way to end the meal. The service was very good, very little English spoken but we got by. The only negative was that the wine we were recommended was very expensive, 37 euro and it really didn't blow our minds. Overall highly recommended and much less touristy than the places in Place Plummerau.

Great food, close to "fine dining". Reasonable prices considering quality. No menu in English and the waiters only have a little, so you really need to understand and be able to translate the basics.

Great food, good vines and really friendly and helpful waiter that guided us even though we didn't always understood each other. I even learned some French words!

Arrived at 7pm we did book as read previous reviews seems a must or you'll miss out. Thank god we did not one spare seat in the place after 8:30pm. Menu is written in French , being Australian my French not too fluent so we slowly worked our way through deciphering best we could. We went for 31€ menu. Waiter was a fantastic help did his best to get our order in with minimal English but we could understand basics. All courses ordered were truly the best choices. Entree -scallops just divine , smoked salmon and snails weren't bad either. Cabernet sauce with snails quiet rich serve was bigger than expected. Mains we had Angus beef it was stunning along with the fish dish , catfish in a Berre sauce and steamed veg. We had no room left for desert 2 courses was just enough. Service was outstanding with 2 waiters running a full restaurant this included the owner , chef Florent Martin himself personally taking orders and serving food such a nice touch to see. Would totally recommend Au Martin Bleu it's a great restaurant , Michelin star totally deserved you won't be disappointed!!

This restaurant came highly recommended by a friend.We didn't book but got a table outside.We arrived and ordered at around 8.25pmI think we got our starters about 15 minutes later - delicious - no complaints there. Our kids food arrived just after and again no problem.However I had to go into the restaurant over an hour later to enquire as to where our main course was. I got mine first and then my wife's arrived - 1 hour 20 minutes after we first ordered !!!! Boiling hot outside, 2 young kids who've eaten and are sitting there like lemmings and we sat for ages waiting.To top it off my main course was Guinea fowl and was over cooked. I left half off it.I complained to what seemed to be the owner on both counts but he didn't seem to be bothered - c'est la vie I guess !!!They couldn't get the simple things right - what a shame.
