Le Bouche a Oreille Saumur

We came across this classic French bistro on a recent trip to Saumur, and what a pleasure it was. Away from the more touristy centre of Saumur on the island in the Loire it would not be somewhere you stumbled across. We were lucky enough to get a table without a reservation, the place was full, mostly of locals. known to the very efficient lady who is front of house. The food was excellent, all prepared by the chef, with a good selection of choice and excellent local wines by the glass or bottle. The service was perfect and we were made to feel very much at home. We will certainly be returning and booking in advance just to be sure.

Last visited in July 2020 and delighted to say this restaurant maintains previous excellent standard. Hostess was very welcoming and spoke fairly good English so was able to help us understand the fare on offer. Excellent traditional French cooking with real attention to quality and detail. Highly recommended and will be back next summer, covid travel rules permitting.

Lovely little place offering fresh and simple good food! This place gets really busy so I am glad we had booked a table in advance! The selection of choices is limited and according to the season but there will always be something to please everyone! The lady owner/waitress is very friendly and made us feel right at home straight away! Prices were very reasonable and the food was good so I would not hesitate to recommend this place and come back again on our next trip!

We had dinner here picking from the 23euro menu. The food was delicious and the bottle of Saumur rose helped it down. Friendly service interesting food made it a perfect start to our holidays.

Découverte de ce restaurant conseillé par la propriétaire de notre chambre d’hôtes à Saumur, nous avons passé un excellent moment. La cuisine est du "fait maison" et très bonne, l'accueil de Dame Sylvie fort sympathique. Nous conseillons à 400 % ce restaurant.
