"We have eaten here for many years. It’s not flash, it’s not expensive and the plate de jour are always worth looking at. We can recommend the pizzas, burgers, salads and pasta. Service has always been quick but unobtrusive. The surroundings are lovely. If you want posh, find somewhere else. If you want lunch with the locals, this is a good place to start."

We have eaten here many times and tend to return as the food is usually ok. The location is good, particularly if there is entertainment in the square. The menu does not tend to change much. A few years ago, this was the place to come for pasta. There is still pasta on the menu but it is disappointing. I think I had the Paysanne tagliatelle a bowl of pasta in cream (no other flavour) and a rasher of extremely crispy bacon on top. Portions have become smaller although deserts are good. The children's menu is not extensive. That said, the quality was reasonable. Service is impersonal but ok. Would rather try somewhere else next time.
The salad I ordered should have contained gesiers, smoked duck foie. There was foie, but only horrible looking bacon lardons. When I asked to complain to le patron, he was so rude and told me I should have mentioned this at the time. I told him I was hoping to find these ingredients amongst the salad leaves as I went along. I said the waiter should have asked if we were happy. I said I would be happy to pay half of my main course, but le patron told me again and again that he couldn 't do that. We left in disgust, disappointed with how we were treated, but paid in full. DO NOT GO HERE.
Came here on first night to region, as many other bars would not cater for a Gluten Free diet. My wife had Coeliacs disease (Gluten Intolerance) All they could offer was either a salad or an Omelette. Saying that the Omelette (cheese and ham) was very nice, it came presented with a side salad. I had a Carbonara, and my Daughter had a Bolognese. All the food came in a timely manor, was piping hot and well presented. It is in a great location to sit and watch the world go by whilst enjoying good food.
After a long walk to the Chateau in Saumur, we happened on this lovely place on a Sunday afternoon. Although it was toward the end of their service (14:20), they were quite accommodating and the food was great! Everything was perfectly prepared and nicely paired with fresh green salads and the requisite baguette. Although there are quite a number of tasty options in Saumur, we made a point to return for dinner later in the week and were equally pleased with the ambience, service and great food!!!
