Hotel de France Restaurant - Loches

Surfacing after a dreadful time due to Covid, Sylvie and Stéphane have emerged stronger , and even more determined to serve their loyal customers. The restaurant is still uniquely French, providing .lovingly prepared dishes , with care , The Hotel rooms are comfortable , if a little quirky! and all the better for that! The Dining room, and courtyard where you can eat , when the weather allows! are a picture, and also the position is so convenient , walking out of the front door, straight into the centre of beautiful Loches.....Make a detour here if you are anywhere near!, There is still old fashioned service , value and hospitality to be found in France, if you only look beyond the bland, gimmicky chains that are now invading France !

A reflection of the unique and simple blends of dining all at an excellent price. The French know how to eat well, drink well and live well! Something we should all take home after a holiday and revive in our lives!

Would have given a 5 if the toilet had been bigger, otherwise all great ,quiet and a great bed so a good nights sleep.Parking is free at the rear of the hotel and you are right in the middle of the town.They have a very good restaurant [although a little pricey]but a stroll after the meal and then bed....all good.Highly recommend.

This was a bit of a blast from the past in a good way. A very traditional looking French dining room with efficient staff and delicious food. A few more people would have enhanced the experience as there were only three tables occupied. The food, traditional French but with a lighter touch, was delicious and well presented: both food and wine were reasonably priced for the surroundings. The terrace also looked a good place to eat.

This is a grand old building with charm. We arrived before the restaurant opened and were fairly grudgingly allowed to sit in the very small bar to wait. We booked a table for 7pm, but no-one came to get us or bring us a menu. Another cultural difference? Who knows!We decided to have the Tournedos Rossini. If you are familiar with the Italian one, this is not the same! It was a fairly thin fillet steak, topped with foie gras served with a fan of mange tout and pureed squash. No potatoes. We ordered our steak well done, knowing how the French like their steak - it came rare. At Eur24, this was not good value for money. Service was formal and efficient. Wine was reasonably priced.
