L'Esperance - Saumur

As always, I went there on a Thursday (1 december) and had téte de Veau !! which was divine !!!. Served with fresh cooked veg and a sauce maison . I had the full menu which included self service Buffet, main course, cheese, dessert, and Wine !, all for 12.20euros. !!!!!

I have eaten here a couple of times, and always on a Thursday as it is the day they do a Téte de Veau Maison !!. The Menu with wine included is 12.20 a head !!!.

A bit out of the centre but well worth a visit if you want to experience a true taste of France. Exceptional value for a 4 course lunch including wine. A great selection of Hors D'Oeuvres, followed by a choice of two traditional main dishes, I sampled the Veal, then a whole plate of cheeses, eat as much as you like and a tasty dessert. All washed down with a couple of glasses of local wine. The Rochedreuxs are very welcoming and warm hosts and lots of locals are eating at L'Esperance creating a nice atmosphere! All for around £10! No frills but very very French Superb!

. . .L'espérance, elle, nous fait vivre,/Nous fait aimer manger et boire,/Tête de veau et vins de Loire,/Nous fait aimer parler et rire,/Des co(qui)neries que l'on peut dire,/D'ailleurs les murs aussi nous parlent,/De cinéma avec Mocky,/Pour les autres devinez qui ,/Si je l'écris, tu parles Charles,!/Le sympa fatras de photos,/Des bons moments sur le frigo,/Et la carte des vins locaux,/Sansay, Desouches, Brissac and co,/Côté comptoir trônent les rhums,/,/Arrangés par la main de l'HommeAssociés à quelques bouquins,/Pas de collection Harlequin !/Les murs ni les clients sont muets:/occasionnels ou habitués,/Les assoiffés, les anémiés,/Les petits jeunes du quartier,/Artisans , passants, retraités,/Ici finissent par s'arrêter,/

Petit restaurant traditionnel, quel plaisir d'y retrouver une cuisine simpleTrès bon accueil, convivial
