Bistrot Des Hauts De Loire

The expectations were high when we arrived in one of the top restaurants of the opposite. but after a warm welcome from manager and owner in a very pleasant pre-space and some light refreshments and hors d’oevres to kick the evening, it started a bit cold for one because: after we arrived 30 minutes early we were not really served until 30 minutes after our booking slot (i.e. an hour later) and the first curs was a sleeper, though my wife was so heavy at least that was fresh. the main course improved a bit: the lamb was perfectly cooked, but two murderous dams plus a strange combination of sweets for €66 was badly worth, and my wife omitted main course for a cheese selection of only three small pieces for just €30. dessert was the redeeming court (lighter than air grand marnier souffle and a lush chocolate place) that had left us with thoughts about what it might have been. it was not a special occasion for us, thanks to quality, but almost three hours drive to get there, at 258 € without wine for two people, it was overpriced and overwhelming. we would recommend the space for the ambiente and the service was ok, but not eating (at least not at this price).

This amazing restaurant is well worth the visit from anywhere south of Paris. Every course was well thought out, and even though we ordered fois gras, we received a bonus fois gras dish after the excellent amuse. The lobster “three ways” was perhaps the other highlight although both deserts were spectacular. A special mention for the wine pairing that was perhaps the best I have had, all wines locally sourced as well. And bring your kids. The children’s menu is incredibly affordable and is to the same standard as the adult menu. C’est magnifique!. 10/10

Very good kitchen, perfect reception, a real chic bistro, cosy atmosphere, we love.

Exemplary service, bravo! The kitchen is delicious, a treat.

But after a warm welcome from managers and owners in a very pleasant premise and some light refreshments and hors d’oevres to kick the evening, it began to go a bit downhill for a while: after we arrived 30 minutes early we were not really sitting until 30 minutes after our booking slot (i.e. an hour later), and the first course was a slept, though my wife was serving the kind of breadok. At least the bread was fresh. The main course improved a little: the lamb was perfectly cooked, but two murderous delicacies plus a strange combination of vegetables for €66 was bad value, and my wife omitted main course for a cheese selection of only three small pieces for just €30. Dessert was the redeeming dish (lighter than air Grand Marnier Souffle and a lush chocolate place) that had left us with thoughts about what it might have been. It was not a special occasion for us, thanks to goodness, but almost three hours drive to get there, at 258 € without wine for two people, it was overpriced and underwhelming. We would recommend the place for the ambience and the service was ok, but not the food (at least not at this price).
