"A wine maker in Sancerre had high accolades for this nice place. We moored the barge late morning and made reservations for lunch.. After a nice cold beer on the front terrace we were seated in the cool shade of the back of the restaurant. The back terrace is a delight on a hot day. As it was mid-week we were able to get a table but be warned that you will probably need reservations if you plan to visit during the weekend. the service was friendly and the menu offered an attractive choice of dishes. The escargots were very good and I had a chance to enjoy one of my favourite dishes: steak Rossini, in this case a lovely piece of Charolais beef cooked to perfection and topped by a couple of generous slices of grilled foie. My wife had the perch and reported it was excellent. We drank carafes of local roses and reds..good stuff and the price was right. The desserts are amazing and change daily... Creme brule and a wonderful floating island on our visit. The cheese cart had a very wide selection and it was fun to sample a few new things....This is a nice place and I can only imagine what a meal like this would cost in Paris.. certainly 3 times more than we happily paid here... Very very nice.. If you are boating on the canal this is a must place to stop.... Cross the " sky canal" and moor on the other side of the bridge.. The walk back is amazing ..looking DOWN at the Loire far below."
