Le Bistrot des Quais

To be avoided at all costs. Mediocre amateur fare, shoddy service, barely polite personnel and two out of three guests spending the night in discomfort. The new owners are obviously complete amateurs and do not live up to the reputation of those who preceded them. A great disappointment from the friends who had invited me. It was amazing to see chairs being carted off while people were still dining. The only consolation was in the Cardhu single malt and a good bottle of Chinon, which is very insufficient. What a same for a wonderful site on the banks of The Loire.

Fantastic little place right on the river . we enjoyed the platters - a start main and dessert on one board - it did not disappoint. the flavors were well balanced and amazing .i would go back to Chalonnes just to visit this place again - we did not book and went early in the evening , but booking would appear to be advisable if you want to sit outside ( we went in July - just a bit late doing my reviews)

What a delightful little restaurant ! Conveniently located on the banks of the Loire river, the food is simply exquisite (I recommend the "planche" menu). Winding down over a glass of Savennieres while baking in the glorious evening sun was a wonderful experience. The town itself is worth a visit as is a walk along the banks.Make sure you book in advance !

4 diners - 2 satifisfied with theirs - beef in mustard sauce with potatoes and salad, sea bass on a bed of noodles were delicious; sea bass on bed of beans was ok; however cold seafood platter was disappointing. Pannacotta was good. Forget the aperitif maison - tasted like cough mixture! Cremant wasn't cheap. All in all mediocre.

Good food, reasonable ambience. Book for Sunday lunch...... it is always busy. Child friendly, without the golden arches feel
