La Cave - Montlouis-sur-Loire

La CAVE: Quaint, elegant, and classy. My definition of an excellent restaurant is exceptional service, terrific food, and a clean atmosphere. La CAVA had them all- and more. We were significantly early for our reservation, as our last Castle tour was completely quicker than anticipated. We took a chance at an earlier entry and we were warmly welcomed by Martial and his colleague, an elegant Madame whose name I wished I had known. They pleasantly prepared my Remy Martin mixed drink while meticulously creating a work of art for my wife and friends. We were then seated in a cozy corner of this elegant “cave”, while being served delicious appetizers that we didn’t even expect. Fresh trout and scrumptious rib meat preceded our meal. What a surprise !! Our wait staff explained the ALL FRENCH menu in great detail and knowledge. We all had the TBONE steaks which came out on time, perfectly cooked, and carefully garnished. The accompanying potatoes were prepared with zesty seasonings. Some of us partook of local wine which showed remarkable bouquet. Again, Martial provided exceptional service with his associates. Every request was met with a smile. Dessert and coffees were the same. Creative and mouth- watering were pervasive themes. In summary, if you want an experience like no other-a feeling like you’re in Paris, but with a country feeling , please try this once in a lifetime ‘cave dining’ experience.

Excellent service and beautiful, warm. The kitchen is also at the height. We will certainly return!

A little disappointed about the quality of the dish that dropped from our visit in 2022. The new restaurant name is not suitable for this atypical place. The service remains at the top!

Very nice moment in this restaurant. Our palaces were delighted to taste its tasty and tastefully presented dishes. The staff is very pleasant and attentive. The place is very nice with decor and warm atmosphere. We recommend it.

Unique experience in this troglodyte restaurant in Montlouis-sur-Loire! The underground atmosphere and the splendid central fireplace add a special touch to the delicious cuisine. The dishes were tasty, the attentive service, and the charming atmosphere. A gourmet getaway in unforgettable love!
