LA DEUVALIERE

Delicious food and a good selection of local wines. We walked in off the street and were lucky to get a table - I would recommend booking! Staff were attentive and very accommodating.

Traditional French cuisine served by an excellent staff. The staff were incredibly attentive and polite. The food was beyond compare. The restaurant is situated in old Tours and picturesque as well as comfortable.

We were lucky enough to get the last available table at 7:30 on a Friday evening not having booked. Delicious meal (faux fillet & lotte) with a great Saumur Champigny veilles vignes to accompany.

2025 Had lunch and dinner this time. All dishes are delicious. Highly recommended this restaurant. Reversation is a must. 2024 Lunch: The avocado tartare, fish fillet and duck breast are delicious. Reservations are recommended for lunch. There may be no seats available at the walk-in. Located in the old town. Dinner: Eat here again for the duck breast. Tonight's duck breast is perfect. It was the most delicious duck breast ever tasted, and the pumpkin puree also went well with it. Salmon as a starter is okay, but the salmon only has two small slices. Monkfish as a main course looks great (there are pictures to prove it) but the taste and texture are average. Pineapple Tart as dessert tastes so good and fresh. The bread that came with the dish was cold and hard, the worst I have ever had in recent times. I understand that it is difficult for a restaurant to maintain a high level of standard in every dish. Service has always been professional.

I visited during the off-season and found a seat available upon arrival. Despite the initial crowd and the wait for my meal, the food was excellent, and the prices were quite reasonable.

A simply superb restaurant that serves truly unique and excellent haute cuisine plates. Everything is curated in the small details, everything is simply perfect! Menu changes over the year to take advantage of seasonal food. Service impeccable, atmosphere as curated as the food. Please be sure to book in advance, at least the day before!

Michelin quality food in a relaxed atmosphere. Dined here with my family. The service was great despite the restaurant being very full. The food was outstanding, there was not one thing that my entire family did not like. The tiramisu and ice cream were favorites. The cored cheese was an interesting novelty that had some very unique flavors.

Excellent meal. Good, professional and friendly service. Very good value for money - would definitely return.

Everything about our meal was excellent and exceptional. The food was delicious and the service was great. We ordered prefix menu of one starter, one entree and one dessert for 42 Euros. The tartare, monkfish and duck filet were our favorite, the flavors were exceptional and the waiter suggested great wines to pair with each of our entree. The restaurant is located at the city center of Tours in a small alley, easy to find with Google map. The space is not very big but cozy and warm, the quality of the food is beyond what we paid for, highly recommended!

I recently ate a meal here whilst visiting the fine city of Tours. I was here conducting some business and we ended up dining at this establishment. The restaurant is in a building that's probably 400 years old, yet has been kept up to code and all local regulations. I ordered a starter, main dish, and dessert, and all were simply tremendous. The starter was a "ravioli" with apple, celery, and some other tasty flavors. For my main dish, I ordered scallops that came with vanilla flavored squash, avocado, and some kind of passion fruit and mango acidulous seasoning. I literally wiped my plate clean with bread. My dessert was a chocolate cake with a melted center and it was breathtaking. This was easily the best meal I had during my 4-day stay in France.

The restaurant was recommended to us by our AirBnb host after we asked them for some guidance after being disappointed on our first night. Thankfully we were able to get a table without a reservation as it was indeed excellent. It was also obvious that it was a local favorite with several tables clearly occupied by couples on a date night. We decided to have 2 courses each and share a dessert. For starters we had the foie gras and a warm salad with quail. Followed by entrées of fish and pork loin. And a dessert that was essentially a very indulgent Brioche French toast. Everything was quite impressive but I do think the first course and dessert triumphed over the entrées. In any case I'd go back again if I were back in the area. The service was also on point and friendly.

This restaurant is a total gem. Got a reservation for two on the day of. The menu was simple and diverse, from seafood, poultry and meat options. Our server helped pair out meals with a bottle of red wine. The ambiance was great. We were not rushed and the courses were brought out in perfect timing and order. Exactly what I expect from a fine French dining experience.

Great find in Tours. It's tucked away a little from the hustle. Food is amazing and they do a great job pairing wines as well.

Our expectations were high but our experience was mixed at la Deuvalière. While my foie gras appetizer and my wife's steak were perfect, my fish ("maigre") was undercooked. Informing the waitress of this elicited no response. In desserts, the moelleux au chocolat was succulent but the baba au rhum was odd and underwhelming. As we finished our meal, a very large table was seated next to ours. This meant the end of a quiet dining experience and made us eager to leave. La Deuvalière has some very strong assets mixed with flaws.

Having just arrived in Tours today we went to Yelp to find a place for dinner. Le Deuvalière was the first restaurant listed. It was highly rated, and only a 5 min. walk from where we are staying so we quickly made a reservation and went as soon as it opened. The hostess/waitress was extremely pleasant and very accommodating to my nutritional peculiarities. The prices are excellent. 31€ and 34€ for the 2 or 3 course meals. They have 4 or 5 menu choices for both entrées, plats and desserts. They don't offer a la carte, just the formules. I got a delicious avocado and smoked salmon millefeuille entrée and my husband got foie gras. Both excellent. Even the tiny gingered cucumber garnish on my plate was excellent. We both got the Paleron de bœuf Black Angus. The potato "cake" that came with it was the best potato dish my husband ever had. I got vegetables instead of the potato and the steak was sitting on a bed of 3 different kinds of cauliflower, each with a slightly different taste. The meat, which I believe is beef shoulder, was a tender as filet mignon. We did not get dessert. The whole experience was absolutely delightful. The restaurant is in a very trendy area and on a Wednesday night in October the restaurant was packed as was the whole area. This was a really great way to start our touring in Tours.

Are you kidding me? This is a serious place to eat if you are in Tours looking for an amazing French restaurant. The ingredients to all of our dishes were fresh and each of the two main courses we ordered were perfection. I had the scallops dish in which they were cooked, seasoned just right, and served with white asparagus. My fiance ordered the beef filet which came with creamed potatoes wrapped with bacon. Our dessert was basically what I can describe as a chocolate lava cake, but these words I feel bad even writing because it was more like a chocolate foodgasm of deliciousness. The other major thing I should mention is the atmosphere. This place is tucked away in a little street off the "old town" of Tours. It's a little difficult to find if you are not savy with using Google maps and are not familiar with the area. However, using Google maps we had no difficulty finding it. The restaurant is small in typical French style. There is a feeling of eating in an old rustic inn with its wood ceiling beams and brick walls with a large fireplace in the main dining area. Our whole meal was under 100 Euros which included a cocktail and a half bottle of wine, with two main dishes, one appetizer and one desert. If you are ready for pure gastronomical joy, visit this place!

The food is really good there and they have dish of the day which is also delicious and cheap! Nice environment in a quite street in down town
