Auberge du Bon Laboureur

I’m so happy that I had managed to find this lovely hidden gem. It’s a nice intimate place to have dinner yet without feeling too formal. Good food, nice atmosphere for a relaxed evening out.

Un seul mot: excellent!

Beautiful outdoor setting. Hospitable staff. Amazing menu and wine. Including a great kids menu!! Couldn’t have asked for a more lovely experience in the Loire Valley

In a different class would return again in a heartbeat thank you one and all

The entire experience at Auberge du Bon Laboureur was sublime. The service was excellent and yet comfortable, not pretentious. We felt like we were being entertained in a private home. It was just so lovely, We took our aperitif in the bar, then moved to the dining room. There were several taster surprises from the chef. The menus was a perfect selection with an emphasis on locally sourced products. Every bite was perfection. I tried the chef’s signature dessert. It was made of parmasean cheese among other wonderful things and was served with a small lightly dressed arugula salad which perfectly balanced the tart yet rich dessert. I left the property determined to return for a longer stay and several nights in that’s restaraunt!

Tout simplement excellent ! Du pure bonheur !

Très bien !

First class all the way

One of the top three meals I've ever had. Absolutely incredible.Quintessential French dining in the lovely town of Chananceau. Ask for a wine suggestion for dinner - our maitre'd made a lovely suggestion to pair with a fish and a lamb dinner. Entree's were incredible and the main dishes were spectacular. There were little extras throughout the meal as well. Lovely ambiance in a quiet little frenh restaurant. Highly recommended. Our total bill came to a little over 170 eu - well worth it.

The dishes were not only delicious but beautiful.And, the wines chosen by the sommelier were also smart and very good.

The food was simply fantastic: from cold tomato soup as entree to pre-desert, desert and after-desert. Service was so-so: we sat on the sun and nobody even offered to move our table’s umbrella so that we would covered, until my husband specifically asked for that. All waiters was very official and cold, no small talk, no jokes, so atmosphere was quite tense. At the end, when we asked for a check, we got it and we expected someone to take our credit card. After we have been sitting for good 15 minutes, a guy came to our table and told us we were supposed to go to the reception to pay our bill ourselves. That was unusual. The price, however, was very decent: Euro 56 for 3 course lunch of that high quality was very reasonable.

Excellent lamb shoulder confit but the duck was not exceptional. For apetizer the vegetable millefeuille was not flavorful enough. The fish apetizer was delicious. So, uneven hence the "good" only rating. The two crying toddlers who were accepted at the diner table next to us spoiled the quiet ambiance. There was an adjacent room which would have been more appropriate for this family.

Fantastic

Parfait

Great meal

Super!

Excellent !!!

I had a wonderful evening meal here, the food was amazing - unfortunately, I was on my own (a business trip) when I ate there, but it's a wonderful place for a romantic meal for two, or a special occasion. The service was a bit poor, one of the waiters was a bit amateurish, but the food made up for the shortcomings! Excellent wine-list.

Excellent food, great wines, top service, great location.. We will come back.

We loved the setting, service and how well our young children aged two and 5 were received.
