2010 Michelin stars in Touraine

La Promenade in Le Petit Pressigny

There are nine restaurants in Touraine that have a Michelin star in 2010. They are:

L'Auberge du XII Siècle in Saché
Le Bon Laboureur in Chenonceaux
La Chancelière in Montbazon
La Promenade in Le Petit-Pressigny
Le Château de Marçay, Marçay near Chinon
Charles Barrier and Le Roche Le Roy in Tours
Les Hautes Roches in Rochecorbon
Le Chai du Manoir in Restigné close to Bourgueil

Le Chai du Manoir is a new star.

I understand that Jacky Dallais, who with his wife runs the wonderful restaurant – La Promenade in Le Petit Pressigny, is sometimes criticised for not playing the celebrity chef and coming out of the kitchen to greet customers. I may be old fashioned but I prefer the chef to be in the kitchen preparing my meal. Just like I don't want my bus driver to be wandering around asking how I'm enjoying the journey!

Report here on our last lunch at the La Promenade, Petit Pressigny – August 2009.

    I wonder if any of these might be amenable to the needs of a party of vegetarians?
    If not, I suppose it's back to pizzas and assiettes vegetariennes in Saumur. (There are worse fates!)

    Certainly worth asking as there is a little more awareness of vegetarians than there was. Would be interested to know what their response is.

    Just a friendly blogger's feedback tip;
    If one prints off a particular page of your blog (as I have just done about Touraine Michelin *s), only after the 30 pages or so has half printed does one realise that one has to say print only pages one or two. The lists on the right hand column, that are now 30 pages long or so, determine the number of pages of the default printed document. Needs a bit of a think!
    Otherwise a consistently enjoyable blog. And we have been more than once to RSJ too.

    Thanks Henri. I'll see if I can find a place to put a small note.
