Les Bartavelles

For a creative gastronomic restaurant in the center of Tours, come to this delightful gem. Run by brother-sister team Gishlain and Véronique Damaye, the restaurant is an homage to French novelist and filmmaker Marcel Pagnol. Véronique oversees the stylish dining room while Gishlain works culinary magic in the kitchen, creating beautifully presented and flavor-packed dishes. These might include smoked sturgeon with broccoli, pine nuts and watercress jus, rack of lamb with roasted butternut squash, pear and black olives or blood orange tart with meringue and bitter orange sorbet.
