"Deceptively unassuming, this Contres bistro serves daring, locavore cuisine that privileges ingredients from within about 25 miles. A spring menu kicks off with the Loire’s first white asparagus—plump spears that melt in the mouth under a cloud of smoked hollandaise—while Chef Stéphane Bureau enthusiastically details touches like egg yolks cured in salt and sugar for about 10 days, smoked, mixed with a little agar-agar and finished with hazelnut butter. A Loire native trained in MICHELIN-Starred kitchens, he cooks with evident passion for the region’s bounty of forest game, cereal grains and fish from the Loire." - Jennifer Ladonne
"With a name that conjures up springtime (it means "bunch of asparagus"), this restaurant delivers delicious cuisine, showcasing local producers and winegrowers as well as herbs from its pretty garden in aesthetically pleasing dishes. At the helm is a professional couple and a chef with a solid track record, Stéphane Bureau – he loves to pop out into the dining area and share his enthusiasm with diners. The comfortable interior is done out in a contemporary bistro style." - Michelin Inspector
