Booked this place on strong recommendation and good reviews and it lived up to expectation. Small place just off the busy and commercialised Place Plumereau and felt more authentic with really nice atmosphere. Really interesting menu that the waiter was very happy to translate. Great food and a very good experience.

We were wandering round the streets of Tours on a one day visit looking for a restaurant when we spotted this place down a side street. On a quick check the menu looked spot on and the reviews were good so we gave it a try. The proprietor spoke excellent English and also had a great sense of humour the ran through the place and other staff. The is a simple menu with daily specials. We had good food and good wine served with good humour, whatâs not to like?

One Saturday, a friend and I had lunch here. We made a reservation, which did not seem to be needed. I hoped it was not a bad omen for the restaurant. However the food and service is immpecable. The foie gras was delicate and lovely and the lamb succulent. The server's recommendation of a wine based upon my taste was spot on. The restaurant picked up a bit during our time there but was not incredibly busy. Fortunately as I walked by later than evening, the place was packed. A restaurant such as this one should be one that is patronized!

this is a small well run restaurant with daily specials on the wall and an engaging and enthusiastic front of house / waiter . there were 4 of us dining and we had excellent food well prepared and well served - you will need to book as I estimate there are only 20-25 covers.

We enjoyed the warm almost familial service in this beautiful restaurant that is well worth the walk away from the main tourist areas of Tours. The indoor garden environment, the friendliness of the staff and the quality and freshness of the carefully prepared food all make it a destination worth seeking out. We would definitely return.

This is an unassuming little restaurant a little away from the centre but with top class food and service. The prix fixe lunch menu is extremely reasonably priced and every course was excellent. The host was very welcoming and graciously tolerated our poor French. Book ahead as it is very popular.

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.

A thoroughly delightful and slightly bohemian feel small restaurant which delivers handsomely.During our dinner, we appeared to be the only non locals at this obviously popular venue which is slightly hidden off the main boulevard but without doubt worth seeking out.The set menu was reasonable value for the quality.Reservation seem essential but regrettably not available on line which is my only criticism.

We found this restaurant by chance, and so glad we did. The setting is lovely, by the water, although it was raining so we couldn't eat outside. The restaurant is elegant, beautifully starched table cloths, sparkling glasses, comfortable chairs...elegant! The waiters were also elegant and highly professional and welcoming. The restaurant was full (not surprisingly), so we were lucky to find a table. And the most important...the food! Excellent, again elegantly served, copious, interestingly presented, and fresh, with a huge choice The choice of wines was extensive and the local wine we took was fab. Prices for what we got, were surprisingly inexpensive. We would definitely recommend this place, and when near Tours, would most definitely come back

We came into Tours to see an exhibition, and took the opportunity to celebrate a birthday with a return trip to La Roche Le Roy. We knew it had acquired a new chef after the previous chef sold up and retired. We were not to be disappointed. We both went for the reasonably priced business menu for lunch, a terrine starter, fish for main and an amazing "rice pudding" for dessert, all excellently cooked and presented.We were a little surprised to be given a menu in English, but on reflection we do look very English even if we have lived in France a long time and our gastronomic French is pretty good (though we still struggle with the grammar!) The meal was accompanied by an very good half bottle of Menetou-Salon, and the service was superb and faultless. The restaurant may have lost its Michelin star when the old chef (Alain Couturier) retired, but good luck to the new chef (Maximilien Bridier) in his new venture and I am sure that will soon be corrected.Dear Customer, Thank you very much for your comment, it was a pleasure to welcome you at La Roche le Roche as always. No worries, French grammar is difficult and even some french people have issues with it. It will be a pleasure to welcome you again, maybe with a new Michelin star and menus in French. Best regards,La Roche Le Roy
