La Pause du Temps

Reviewed By KarinKidd

Service was good. They spoke English which was a nice touch. Menu all in French which was fine. Not the best pizza I had had. Saying that because base underneath was not fully cooker. Side green salad with dressing was lovely. Bonjour je pense que vous vous êtes trompé d'établissement ? Nous ne faisons pas de pizzasBien à vous

This is a popular family run restaurant, a must have reservation dining experience with a small card and limited seating arrangement in a back alley in Amboise (so narrow that some diners had to get out of their outside dining seats to that a car could park further in the alley). Starters: soupe de melons au basilic (outstanding), homard breton et chou a la ricotta...(even better). Main: filte de merlu, ballotine de fintade de lat potatoe (not much meat of course). Desserts: moeleux au chocolat et chantilly...(regret that we did not select verrine facon torte aux fraises). Agree with all of the reviews and would return for a second night if we had stayed in Amboise longer.

We had a lovely lunch sitting on the terrace overlooking Clos Luce. We both chose quiche and salad (one bacon and onion, the other broccoli) with soup. The quiche and salad were delicious. Unfortunately the soup had no flavour at all and we couldn’t eat it. It didn’t spoil our lunch, which we concluded with a nougat glacé (very nice) and a pot of tea for two.

La Breche Restaurant

Reviewed By dephal

We had a beautiful, delicious late lunch here. The dining room is charming. Every dish looked like a work of art--and tasted amazing. The price was very reasonable for the quality and amount of food. And the service was wonderful. The airline had lost my luggage, and the waiters were very helpful in suggesting places where I could buy clothing and supplies to tide me over. A memorable meal I look back on fondly.Hello,Thank you for your comment, and we are happy what you have a good stay with us...I hope what you have no problem with our luggage for the come back !!!Kind regards

We enjoyed the €21 euro two course evening dinner. Delicious steak, cooked centrally on an indoor BBQ. Was a little tricky to find the restaurant entrance on bikes, but it's on a small side street off of the main drag in Amboise. Would visit again.

Restaurant l'Ilot

Reviewed By GuyTheLight

Many without reservations were turned away from this intimate and unasuming restaurant so we were glad we booked - thanks to the advice of previous TA reviewers. These guys love what they do and boy, they do it well - made us feel wecome, didn't try to score points by unnecessary distractions and flourishes like foam or air. This was honest but highly skilled & imaginitave fare. Chocolate pudding with pumpkin? Still can't decide whether the chef is bonkers or a genius but his slow-cooked lamb was without doubt the best meal I can recall. Thankyou!

L'Ecluse

Reviewed By Iain G

I originally contacted another restaurant in Amboise who recommended L'Ecluse. It is situated away from the centre of Amboise and don't be put off by the exterior of the building. Inside its a lovely restaurant, very polite attentive staff, pleasant atmosphere and great value. We had the option of talking in English or French. We had the set menu lunch which was excellent at €19.00. I recommend this restaurant for lunch

Reviewed By Rodney17

My wife and I enjoyed an extraordinary lunch at this restaurant and were simply overwhelmed with the intricacies and quality of each of three courses which manifested itself in every dish being consumed to the last morsel.The value delivered by the ‘Market return’ menu at €21 served only for lunch from Tuesday to Friday which includes an amuse bouche, entree, main course, desert and gourmet coffee is stunning.Service was equal to the dishes being welcoming, friendly and very prompt.

I have been visiting Amboise for thé last 40 years. Not a lot changes there. So I was very surprises by this café/brewery. We took a plate with 4 small glasses for 8 euro. Unfortunately no explanation. So I can only Tell you it was not our kind of beer (Taste). Maybe it is best to developpe 1 good beer and then go off thé another. Also the cola and limonade was not our Taste.But we can encourage new things happening in AmboiseIt's true we are brand new and we are glad you found us! It sounds like you tried our flights or "dégustation" which includes our 4 signature beers; Chromatic Cream Ale, Abstract Amber Ale, Iridescent IPA, and Sepia Export Stout. I apologize for a lack of explanation in the moment, perhaps it was a busy time or an accidental oversight. None the less, these are American style craft beers brewed with local French ingredients. They are unique compared to other beers found in the area. We have received lots of positive feedback and we welcome people to get out there and try something new! All 4 of our recipes were developed with a lot of time and attention with multiple tastings and feedback from beer drinkers from an array of backgrounds. We are always eager to get more feedback. Please feel free to email us a more detailed account of your critiques of each individual beer in contrast with their beer style. As for the lemonade and cola we sell local products to support our local economy and realize that they are not always what everyone expects compared to more industrial mass-produced products. However, they are high quality and we feel like that's what counts. Thank you for your feedback!
