La Rissole

We were so excited to come here for a birthday dinner of a close friend. When we arrived, it was peaceful and a nice environment but the service was slow, the server/owner was disagreeable and it was clear many other customers felt the same way. We were disappointed with the service and the food was mixed (my scallops were great but my friends’ guinea fowl was very dry). It is not okay to be so cold and disagreeable.

Wonderful! Highly recommend. What an amazing gem of a restaurant. Delicious flavors. The best entree/starter I’ve had in all of Loire (including Michelin star restaurants). The beef tataki was genuinely one of the best things I’ve eaten but every single course was lovely. The woman helping was so kind (even though we speak little to no French) and selected two wonderful wines for us to enjoy through our meal. Cannot recommend highly enough. So glad we chose this for dinner while in Tours!

This place is amazing. At first we were a bit hesitant but the food, service and wine made up for any hesitation. We had the beef tataki & tomato salad which were exceptional. The beef with the mayonnaise was amazing. We also had the homard gnocchi for main and that was INCREDIBLE. They were generous with the portion of lobster and the sauce was to die for. We finished off with both desert and they did not disappoint at all. Try and be surprised at how at this price point you get a nearly Michelin quality in food.

Super recommend this place! We had an awesome lunch. If I could give 10 stars I would. Do not miss this awesome place if you happen to be in Tours!

It’s a must try if you come to Tours in France. Keep in mind it’s a restaurant operated by husband (the chef) and wife, no other employees in site. You will get 3 to 4 options in appetizers, main course and desert. So please go with an open mind

Spectacular food, small menu, very reasonable prices. We’ve kept talking about this meal two days after eating there so I figured they deserved the review even though I usually don’t do restaurant reviews. This restaurant should be a 4.9-5.0.

Came for lunch and sat outside. Very friendly staff. Lunch menu is very good value. Food was delicious. Thanks

We hadn’t booked so were lucky to get a table. The food is excellent and reasonably priced. This has been my favourite restaurant in Tours during this holiday.
