Sitting on the charming Place Saint-Pierre at the foot of the chateau, this traditional restaurant serves solid Loire Valley cooking at reasonable prices. The terrace seating on the square is the main draw -- it's one of the most pleasant spots in town to eat outdoors on a warm evening.
The menu leans toward regional classics: pike-perch from the Loire, local goat cheese, and dishes paired with Saumur wines. Nothing flashy, but reliable, and well-located for a meal after visiting the chateau.
