La Tour

"Nestling at the foot of a 14C tower in the heart of the famous wine-growing village, this traditional townhouse boasts an elegant, contemporary dining room offset by a scattering of period details (beams, ceiling and mouldings). Simplicity, authenticity and bags of character are the hallmarks of the food characterised by premium ingredients that keep pace with the seasons presented in an enticing lunchtime menu (that is also a steal!) and a surprise menu available in different versions in the evening. There is also an entirely vegetarian menu." - Michelin Inspector

"At the Michelin-starred Restaurant La Tour on Sancerre’s main square, chef Baptiste Fournier forgoes today’s culinary trends for simple, sophisticated French fare. He offers just three starters (langoustines, salmon, and mussels) and four entrées (fish, chicken, beef, and lamb) on the weekdays, and a superbly priced five-course menu on the weekends, complete with fish and meat, a cheese course, and dessert. For those looking to indulge, there are also three set menus—the Promenade, Pleasure, and Confidence—that adhere to the same minimalism, but surprise with innovative flavor combinations. Whichever you choose, be sure to pair your meal with a bottle of local Sancerre."

"A compact, living-room–sized restaurant in Sancerre known for serving expressive local wines; a memorable pour of a rouge Sancerre exhibited velvety texture with wild strawberry and clove notes, prompting a visit to the producer to purchase bottles." - Kristin Braswell
