The Golden Eagle subtle and indulgent cuisine

Great importance is placed on seasonal produce and everything the local region has to offer. The blancmange is thus served with a strawberry tartare sourced from the neighbouring village, a cream made with Touraine saffron —also local—all flavoured with edible herbs and flowers from the restaurant’s garden. As Touraine is not on the coast, the chef sources ingredients from suppliers on the Atlantic coast (which isn’t far away…) to serve us delicious, perfectly executed dishes. To whet your appetite: as an amuse-bouche, a coral-coloured scallop taramosalata with Cajun sauce and buckwheat biscuit; and for the main course, langoustines from our coasts, broccoli vegetable jelly, crab rillettes and caramelised onion mousse… During our last lunch, my guests and I were absolutely blown away! It was almost the same experience as our meal at Arbore et Sens…The entire menu, from the amuse-bouches to the desserts, was sumptuous, harmonious, cooked to perfection and accompanied by sauces and jus that left us wanting to lap up every last drop from the plate!

The restaurant comprises two cosy dining rooms and a leafy terrace that can seat around thirty guests. The main dining room has around ten tables, spaced well apart. Heated by a wood fire in winter, a timeless atmosphere invites you to share intimate moments with family, friends or your partner… On the garden side, a second, more family-friendly dining room offers a chic, bucolic ambience. It is ideal for private, personal or professional events. On fine days, you can enjoy the enclosed, flower-filled garden, tucked away behind the building, which is highly prized by connoisseurs of the establishment. It offers a natural and peaceful setting in which to enjoy a gastronomic experience in the Loire Valley.
