Au Petit Creux - Saumur

It was a warm day and we needed a cold beer after visiting chateau de Breze nearby. We parked by the poste in Doue La Fontaine opposite what looked like an old sunken swimming pool, perhaps the town Spring once upon a time. We walked up into the town and on the road on the left saw several places to stop, we chose the last one on the right as its unbrellas looked so inviting. We had a drink and We were drawn to the 3 course lunch for about 12€. My husband had a delicious pate, I had a mixed pasta salad with lots of yummy things in it. We had steak frites with o joy, Madam's delicious runner bean type things gently steeped in garlic. Never tasted the like before or since.The place was quite busy, we ate outside at lunchtime, but there are plenty of spaces inside for an evening meal. Possibly the menu is more expensive in the evening.frenchLocal tradesmen ate there too. They must know a good thing. Le Patron speaks good English. With a few drinks and a delicious pud inside us we returned to our Eurocampsite near Saumur well pleased. I would definitely go there again if we came back another year. I wish them well.

Great crepes....for dinner and dessert. Reasonable prices and right along the river!
