Le Bistrot Du Paradis

Bar restaurant. Hyper nice. The boss is super welcoming..the dishes are excellent. And really homemade... it's nice to find well-kept establishments.

The day we went the lunch was delicious . There is no menu so I guess some days may be better than others as except for dessert (there are many choices) there is no choice. The appetizer was an amazing plate of cooked eggplant strips with a tomato confit. Lunch was roast chicken with fresh pasta and a baked stuffed tomato, followed by a cheese plate that was spectacular and after all that I chose gelato for dessert as I was too full for anything richer. Also red, white and rose wine on the table (unlimited).

We were travelling through the Loire Valley and unexpectedly came to the end of a road where the sat nav instructed us to Board the Ferry ! Having been somewhat surprised at this instruction, we parked the car at the ferry car park and noticed an unassuming little cafe and from the outside we weren 't expecting much. Once through the doors however we knew there was something different about this place for a start it was filled with locals enjoying various meals that all looked fantastic, and there were no chips or fast food items to be seen. We were directed to a table outside in the sunshine overlooking the Loire and with a view of the comings and goings of the ferry We selected the plat du jour duck sausages served with potatoes and green vegetables and a poivre vert sauce. This was followed by rhubarb crumble dessert all for 10 euro a head. My mouth is watering as I write this as I can remember how delicious it was. The lovely lady serving was the gilding on the lily. We continued on our journey across the Loire on the ferry which, incidently, was free of charge.

Welcome. Theme party with paella (it was good, there was a little cooking with chicken thigh). the dessert I took was succulent (house chocolate mousse) . prices are very affordable.

A beautifully clinging boss, a good family cuisine, simple and tasteable just what it takes, beautiful prices: what more? Moreover, it is three steps from a hiker stopping the fire of God.
