Very good restaurant. Everything is homemade. They put local producers to work. Good products, regional and/or organic and not more expensive than in other restaurants. We were able to have a gluten-free version of the burger for our celiac son. Very serious people, having asked us to come at the start of the service to ensure "zero cross contamination". I highly recommend! But you have to book 😉
Great ! I highly recommend
We had a great time, great value for money. There are options for vegetarians and those with gluten intolerance!
The service was fast and very friendly.
And all with a great view of the cathedral
The buckwheat pancakes are listed as gluten-free on the menu, and this is confirmed by the staff!
I have celiac disease, and I was very ill four hours after ingesting gluten, and I still am this morning.
I find it unfortunate that despite my questions about the products, the staff at this restaurant don't take food allergies seriously and at their true severity.
It is now clear that a crêperie that isn't entirely gluten-free doesn't have to note this on its menu; it's unacceptable and puts customers' health at risk.
Fantastic dining experience! I was so happy to go somewhere where they not only were able to cater for me, but also made me feel like requesting gluten free wasn't an issue at all. Thank you!
We still love it.
Seasonal, high-quality produce 🥗, enough to satisfy special diets (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.), and desserts that are always delicious 🤩. In short, our favorite cafeteria, which we always return to with the same pleasure!

During a three-night stay with half board, with my wife. Very quiet, very pleasant hotel, located 100 meters from the castle. Private parking. All very friendly staff. Copious and quality catering, always careful to respect my particularity of gluten intolerance, whether for breakfasts or dinners.
We recommend
Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Staff were kind, attentif and helpful. There was a “stagiaire” who looked after us tonight, and he was wonderful. If you read my review - thank you!
The menu was incredible, and I wish I could have ordered everything. While they do not offer a menu deal, the food is very good value for price and fair for the quality. I would come back here again and again, and recommend it highly to any curious foodies in the region. They were also very accommodating to a gluten allergy.
All gallettes are gluten free, which I really appreciated. I must admit I didn't love mine but that was my mistake, as I ordered the 4 cheeses one and I felt as though it was too much. Staff were nice and attentive.
Restaurant located next to the Chambord castle. Very good dishes! I had a duck parmentier (gluten-free) that was delicious! Very friendly and helpful staff. We went on Easter Sunday without a reservation, we only waited half an hour and they seated us. Medium-high prices (plat + gate between €23 and €25).
Excellent burgers (with a gluten-free bun option for those with intolerances. Thank you!), delicious sweet potato fries, generous portions, a warm welcome, and very good value for money. We had a great meal at Balzac Burger and will definitely be back!
Unreliable - Travelled 30km to visit this restaurant for lunch on Friday 30 June as my wife is Gluten Free and the menu for her looked great. Really annoyed to find at 13.00 the Restaurant was closed and didn't look as though it had been open for sometime. Website was still showing open - what's going on - are you Open or Closed. Sort it out!!!
We had dinner here and served it in advance because our daughter is lactose and gluten intolerant. Moreover, she hardly eats meat or fish. Then it is useful to inquire in advance. And that has been neatly fulfilled by this restaurant. I had the tuna Tataki and I can recommend it to everyone. Well prepared and presented with delicious additions. Super tasty. They made a vegetable dish for my daughter.
The restaurant is popular, so making a reservation is not an unnecessary luxury. It is located right next to the cathedral in a beautiful spot
Exceptional!!!
Everything is perfect in this establishment, the cuisine of course, but also the location near the Loire castles, the superb contemporary decoration, the friendliness of all the staff, the comfort of the rooms.
In addition, the chef kindly agreed to adapt the entire 7-course menu into a “gluten- and lactose-free” version, as well as the breakfast.
A well-deserved star and excellent value for money.
This restaurant is a delight, a real treat. You have a huge choice, there is something for everyone. I come back to it every time. It is a very pleasant and warm place. Their service is fast and responds to all your requests. If you have, for example, a gluten intolerance or you are pregnant... there is real consideration and frankly thank you. The price is very affordable compared to the proportion offered, fresh produce and local products offered. The final touch is the presentation of the dishes which is always perfect and a very smiling team. I really recommend this restaurant for visitors and friends from Tours.
All parfait!! Sans gluten et sans lait de vache pour moi!! What a problem!! :-)
I found this place through Google maps looking for gluten-free options to eat in Tours. The galettes are gluten-free buckwheat, and also have options without cow's dairy, which is also my problem and in France it is not easy... Everything tasted great to me and I didn't have any problems. Plus, they were very delicious!!
Fantastic! Food and service were wonderful. The salmon and fried potato appetizer was amazing! We showed up for dinner right when they opened and had no problems without a reservation. They were knowledgeable about gluten-free options.
A special little restaurant that completely met our expectations and had very friendly service from the waiters
Particular attention has been paid to gluten intolerance.
Excellent welcome. The fouées and their accompaniments are very good.
One of the guests had a gluten intolerance and was offered gluten-free bread cooked in the fouées' wood-fired oven to replace the fouées.
At 6 on a Saturday evening, it's not easy to find a table at the last minute, and we were lucky to find it here.
We received a very warm welcome, the dishes are fresh, with great taste, balanced and the service is fast, efficient and smiling.
The value for money is really good, the menu satisfies all diets (vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free).
In short, go there with your eyes closed (although still enjoy the pretty plates 😉).
Very nice place and lots of choices on the menu. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable about food intolerances (lactose, gluten). Very good taste because cooked with herbs from the castle garden!
Spectacular food and spectacular service. They look for options to eat gluten-free and lactose-free. Best restaurant on our seven-day Loire Valley trip
They gave me dinner, they have almost no gluten-free items, but they have an allergen menu. No one spoke even a little English hehehe the food was delicious
Hello, We visited this restaurant like no other as a family. It’s an excellent surprise! From the welcome to the bill, everything is perfect. Smiles are distributed in abundance, and it is felt on the plate as well. It's fresh, beautiful, well prepared, generous, it has flavor, in short, an excellent taste experience! and the children are not forgotten, on the contrary! everything is designed to make you feel good. Children have a playroom available, easily accessible but allowing other tables to be quiet. There is even a host on weekends! The children's menu is great, delicious unlike many other restaurants. The icing on the cake is the bill, at a reasonable price and offering excellent value for money. Special mention for the gluten-free attention for dessert, it’s very nice! We had so much fun that we came back 3 evenings in a row :D Thanks to the whole team and to Margot for her kindness! Too bad you are so far away, when will a franchise open in Auvergne ;)
Very welcoming, accommodating, friendly staff. The prices of the à la carte dishes are more than reasonable given the quality of service. My mother is gluten intolerant and they did everything to make sure she had what she needed (bread, dessert, etc.). I thoroughly recommend
An absolute gem. We came here as they had galettes on the menu. I asked if they were gluten free (my son is coeliac) and when the hostess confirmed they were we got the last table. Service was slightly leisurely but it's a French restaurant in a small town run by a husband and wife team - so entirely excusable. After we had ordered we were brought a little plate of crisps which the hostess told us, without being asked, were GF. The galettes were incredible. For dessert she offered (unprompted) to make any of the crepes on the menu using buckwheat flour to make them GF - very kind. My wife and I had crepes (excellent) and my son had an outstanding creme brulee,. His apples juice was also excellent, as was our win. A wonderful mean and evening,. We are going to see if we can somehow make it back.
4 of us came for dinner, we had a lovely evening, top-notch cuisine, my gluten intolerance was taken into account, and the service provided by Marjo was top-notch! I recommend !
We really enjoyed our lunch at the inn. It's nice inside despite the heat outside. The dishes are excellent. The children's menu is plentiful. A big plus for my daughter who eats gluten-free, she was able to enjoy it. A little minus, the service was too long for our taste. An address to recommend.
We had an excellent taste experience. Everything was excellent although the service was a little quick (but it must be said that we arrived at 8 p.m.). The setting is very calming. We will come back and recommend this restaurant without any hesitation!
I highlight the delicate attentions of the chef in the kitchen who was able to adapt to my strict gluten-free diet. It's a real plus to be welcomed like this at the restaurant. Thank you for this good time and a well-deserved vacation to you.
After a dish availability error, the team went out of its way to resolve the problem.
Smiling welcome from all those encountered on site. Patience of the cashier. Cook who took great care to smooth over the error and who was responsible for requesting reimbursement of the difference from those responsible. I didn't have to travel, a manager did it for me.
Despite the error (internal communication to improve?) I highly recommend because we clearly understood the desire to satisfy as best as possible (gluten, lactose intolerance and pregnant cooking for my daughter).
See you soon
A good place to eat. Menu with starters, main course, water, dessert and coffee is €16. With wine, €18.
Great service although I gave it a 4 because it was hot. Could the air conditioning be broken?
They adapt whatever is for celiacs and warn if the dishes contain gluten

I am really delighted to have stayed in this hotel, on a professional basis.
A very warm, friendly, attentive welcome. I was able to have breads and dishes adapted to my gluten-free diet.
A more than varied breakfast, tasty and affordable cuisine.
The rooms are clean and functional. The exteriors deserve to be refreshed (paint, doors, etc.) but don't stop there! I will come back in complete peace of mind!
Attracted by the menu and the good reviews we stopped for lunch on the terrace in the shade.
The welcome is warm and it is possible to eat gluten-free.
The daily menu is affordable at 5.50 p.m. and 9.50 p.m. and the menu is tempting!
The citrus salad with prawns and the scallops were two very successful dishes.
We appreciated the wine list.
On the other hand, the restaurant is a victim of its own success so go there if you have time to spare.
