Restaurant de L'Agriculture

For guests in the hotel du chateau this is a sound! obviously it is the same owner, and the service in the rest was very fast and friendly. abslutely beautiful eating, beautifully presented. ris de veau and filet du turbot mit Mini-Gemüse, cheese plate and. foret noir cake and two bottles st. nicolas de bourg came to 55. euro per person. in any case I have less meal times for more money here and there in france. highly recommended!

Sent by friends, we where not dissapointed. We drove 2 times 1 hour, coming from Amboise.. First time without reservation..so not lucky.. . The restaurant reservation necessary, also during the week in low season! has an excellent price/quality. We choose the 6 course menu, with...many surprises. Wine very good and affordable. Service ok. Real french cuisine, they know their job! Highly recommended.

This restaurant is classified by Logis de France with 3 cooking pots meaning their top rating for food. We 've previously enjoyed meals at several different Logis ' with various Cooking Pot classifications but we were very disappointed with the Restaurant L 'Agriculture in Tours en Solonge. It was very much...less good than restaurants with lower classification, and the service was appalling. We ordered 'a la carte '. When the food came, the accompaniments to all three main course dishes were not as described in the menu and were not very good! The main problem was a Filet de turbot cuit vapeur en papillote translucide which was presented still in its plastic wrapper (complete with blue plastic ties) containing a small, rather dry fillet of white fish that was certainly not turbot. Our tentative complaint was not met well. The waitress disappeared to consult in the kitchen and eventually took it away before explaining unsympathetically that this was the way it should be. She grudgingly offered a replacement and returned after some time with a completely different fish dish, which was OK, but not anything we would order. It was only at the end of the meal that we worked out that the fishes for two of the main courses had been swapped. The turbot had been replaced with St Pierre which was too strong for the accompaniment (some sort of celeriac mush rather than the carrot and cumin mousseline promised) while the turbot appeared in place of the St Pierre in Filet de St Pierre roti , jus de viande et morilles . The turbot was unable to withstand this quite strong sauce, so both dishes were spoiled. The chef should certainly have noticed this when it was sent back even if he missed it on the way out! Unfortunately we were unable to attract the waitress ' attention again for long enough to attempt to explain this. She remained completely unapologetic throughout, with an attitude suggesting that it was all our fault and that we were being unreasonably fussy. We naturally declined dessert and left after being kept waiting for a very long time for the bill. We could not possibly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Beautiful restaurant with outdoor kitchen. friendly staff who also spoke English. varied menus and eating was very good.

Excellent value for money and warm welcome, pleasant staff shaded terrace, seasonal cuisine with fresh products
