"Restaurant Assa is situated a few km outside of Blois, on the West side along the road that follows the Lore. The restaurant is higher up and can be reached by an elevator. The view on the Loire is magnificent. We had dinner on an...evening in July and enjoyed the colors of the sun going down. Even when the sun got down, there was enough light to enjoy the view on the river and the many birds playing and feeding on the islands and low waters. We found the rpice quality and the experience really exceptional. The creativity and harmony of what was served was flabbergasting. On arrival, we received two mini-“amuses”. Nothing exceptional. We ordered aperitif, and received three more small amuse-bouche that were more original and better in line with what was going to follow. The restaurant offers you the possibility to order “blind”. We did not do this and had a look at the dishes before deciding for a menu with two first dishes, one main, one cheese and one desert. The cheese by the way, is another dish, but with one cheese being part (dominating) of the dish. So do not expect a cheese plate like you would get in “normal” restaurants. All dishes were exceptional of harmony and sophistication. The trademark of the restaurant is that each of the dishes is composed of three small dishes, with more or the same basic ingredients but prepared in different ways. All the dishes were exceptional, we were never disappointed. Because of the complexity of the dishes and of the ingredients used, the explanations you receive when being served are a lot of information to digest. We would have appreciated to get a more detailed explanation on paper, eventually at the moment of leaving the restaurant. One of the first dishes we had was we understood an emblematic dish of the chefs. Three small dishes based on foie gras, one like a small cold starter, one hot main course and a desert presented like a yoghurt. Original storytelling but most importantly three different and tasty experiences. We took the option to let the sommelier do the wine pairing. We recommend to do this as it costed 30 euro per person for 5 glasses of wine. We could never have chosen ourselves one or two appropriate wines as you cannot expect what will be on your plate. By the way, do not expect taste bombs, but expect originality, harmony and respect for the ingredients. We hope to be back one day in the region to visit again this exceptional place."

"After a disastrous visit to the castles of the loire, we finally gathered at the corner of a pleasantly smiling and welcoming team installed us in a well-loved room with humour and an appropriate map has all the desire for a price without competition around the royal castle. carefully prepared dishes of quality products and the atmosphere that encompasses all for a unique experience. I highly recommend to all those who love good food and hot places, a first-degree visit at the corner of the table."

"Dans le quartier historique de Blois, nous avons découvert par hasard le restaurant "Les Planches". Tout d'abord, le cadre est idyllique, l'intérieur est bien décoré dans le style Shabi-chic, la terrasse installée dans la "cour des miracles" est très agréable ! On peut manger à l'ombre comme au soleil selon ses souhaits...Les "patronnes" sont super gentilles, très souriantes et accueillantes.Les bruschettas (spécialités de la maison) sont succulentes ! Un vrai régal.Le Lambrusco est très bon !Nous vous recommandons vivement cet établissement plein de charme à prix abordables.Nous reviendrons ici Avec un grand plaisir.A bientôt"

"We are from the southwest, from the kitchen and good dishes, we know well. It is by chance that we went to eat in this restaurant during our stopover in Blois. We recommend this address. Excellent cuisine, refined and very well presented. Bravo! You can close your eyes. Service: Dine in"
