L'Aigle d'Or · Restaurant Gastronomique · Azay-le-Rideau

Wonderful! The most fun we’ve had dining in Loire thus far. Better flavors and presentations than the Michelin starred restaurants we’ve had during our trip in Loire. Such a delicious, creative and fun evening! The space was beautiful and staff and service were excellent. Highly recommend.

We’ve been eating at this restaurant for over thirty years, but have not been back recently. This evening we returned to discover that the place has new owners and a whole new eating experience to discover. I cannot recommend it highly enough, delicious, innovative and beautifully presented with excellent service. Thank you !

Beautiful dinner with a party of 7. Had one member with a long list of allergies and the kitchen was more than accommodating, we all had the best dinner of our holiday here. Phenomenal value for money and amazing quality. Worth travelling to the city for the food here alone.

Last minute booking. Telephoned but line busy but the restaurant called back and confirmed booking for same evening. Took note of allergies and intolerances without an issue. Went with the non tasting 5 course menu which was simply amazing. Sadly did not take note of the name of the main Maitre de but both members of the team were extremely polite, knowledgable and could not have been more helpful. Restaurant is extremely tastefully furnished and a joy to experience. Good value for money and should not be missed.

A superb evening of wonderful French gastronomy. Every course was beautifully presented with lots of detail and flavours. The restaurant catered for a gluten free diet (notified in advance) without any problem at all which was very much appreciated. The lamb was exceptional but all courses were superb. The maitre d and his young team were all so welcoming and professional. We will most definitely return on our next visit to the region.

The food was good but the restaurant had a lot of short comings. They did not tell us water was 3.50 euros per bottle and they did not fill up our wine cups very often and took the bottle away. We had about 15 wasps that we killed that were all over our food and in our drinks, restaurant staff tried to help but there was too many all over the place, something should be done about that. I ordered a fish dish with potatoes and found a hair in it, which I would not expect from a restaurant where we already payed much more than a regular 35 euro menu, this one was 51. I would not recommend the goat cheese dish, thought i was getting a platter and there was barely any cheese. Overall not that impressive, definitely need to a dress their wasp problem, there are better places I would recommend.

If you are in, or exploring near, Azay-le-Rideau eating at L’Aigle d’Or is an absolute must. We had the 6 course tasting menu with wine pairings and it is one of the most memorable meals I have ever had. We were served by one of the owners who was incredibly knowledgeable about local ingredients and wines. All of the wines we tasted were high quality, unique, local wines. The food was beautifully presented, balanced, thoughtful, and delicious. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of the food and experience. We had an amazing dinner and tasted 5 local wines for less than what some companies charge for a wine tour.

Fantastic cuisine and world-clase service. Very accommodating to non-French speakers
