Jacques-Coeur ReviewThis tavern serves traditional bourgeois cuisine, though the food at Abbaye St-Ambroix is better. Although keeping the old name and atmosphere, Stephane Philippon has taken over this restaurant, changing the menu seasonally to take advantage of the best shopping at local markets. For an appetizer, you might try ravioli filled with langoustines or else an escalope of foie gras, followed by such mains as veal kidneys in Madeira sauce or roasted scallops n Noilly Prat. The desserts are homemade and tempting, and service is efficient. The featured wines include Quincy and Menetou-Salon, two excellent but not well-known regional vintages. Of the two medieval Gothic-style dining rooms, the one on the upper floor is more interesting, with exposed beams and plaster impressions of scallop shells on its ceiling (ca. 1947).

Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features Partner Deals:

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
