Auberge La Gaillotière

Grape vines are a prominent feature of this converted wine storehouse, which sports a pleasant rustic vibe. The food juggles appetisingly between textbook tradition and modern influences: cumin-flavoured velvety carrots, confit of poultry gizzards and gorgonzola crumble; fillet of ling, cream of garden sorrel and seasonal veggies… The menu changes once a fortnight. Fine local Val de Loire wines at prices that make sense. Service with a smile.
