“ Such a wonderful restaurant. Ate there for lunch and dinner on the same day and reaaaally enjoyed it. Super nice service and atmosphere and really tasteful vegetarian dishes! ”
“ Light and healthy food served. Lovely place with extremely friendly owners. However, they're not good at speaking English and none of us could speak French... so we just showed the picture of the food to order. lol. But it's a nice place, and vegetarian friendly! ”
“ Lovely little restaurant close to Les Halles. The family who runs it, is extremely friendly and nice; probably the nicest people we ran into in Tours. They speak almost no English though, but we managed with some broken French and whatever little English they knew. The menu is simple; you choose one of the courses - 5 small dishes, a salad course, or another option I can't remember anymore. They have vegetarian and non vegetarian options for the courses. Highly recommended. ”
“ Delicious all made on site. Family own restaurant for over 47 years! All produce are sourced from the market next door. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back! ”
