Bistrot Les Tontons Saumur

Bistrot Les Tontons Saumur 1 With much of Saumur cordoned off to traffic for this weekend’s festivities, Friday’s deadline deliveries were unable to reach us and albeit this wasn’t quite to plan, there was much to do in preparation for the opening of Bistrot Les Tontons on Tuesday 05 July 2011.

Gérald and I viewed the then called Café La Grange back in March, whereupon first sight it resembled the Pompidou Centre in Paris.

Since signing the contract on 21st June, the future Bistrot Les Tontons has undergone a vast transformation.

Work in progress at Bistrot Les Tontons Saumur For those of you who know Gérald from Domaine de la Paleine, you will be delighted to learn that he will continue to represent the Domaine.

Furthermore, the wines from Domaine de la Paleine will be available to enjoy during lunch and dinner and can be purchased directly from la cave at Bistrot Les Tontons.

In addition, Loire Valley Uncorked will continue to provide privately conducted wine tasting tours at the Domaine de la Paleine, and:
NEW for 2012 – wine tastings & riverboat trips on the Loire river held on Domaine de la Paleine’s own private “La Toue”, riverboat.

Martin Jarvis is a professional web developer and a WordPress expert, with a passion for all things "France" - including his lovely wife Nadine! With a french wife, a house on the border of Brittany and the Pays de la Loire, an aunt in Paris, his wife's family in Bordeaux, and a dear (now sadly departed) friend on the Cote d'Azur, Martin is well placed to comment on France from the point of view of an Englishman. Hopefully, this interest in France and his experience as a developer and marketer of websites will help make this site invaluable to francophiles everywhere.

    Bonjour ou Bon Soir,
    My wife & I will be Saumur for 2 nights in Novembre 13 & 14, 2011. I read about Bistrot Les Tontons at tripadvisor.com. We would like to have dinner at Tontons but I can’t find a menu anywhere online. Can you direct me to a website that has a menu? Merci beaucoup.

    Dear Mr & Mme Harris

    Thank you kindly for your email.

    Gérald opened Bistrot Les Tontons at the beginning of July 2011 and as you have read on TripAdvisor we have received generous reviews from our clients.

    Wine is of fundamental importance to Gérald as is his second great passion, ‘food’, each to compliment the other.

    The homecooked cuisine served at Bistrots Les Tontons is sourced daily and seasonally based and albeit we do not have a printed menu one can choose to lunch or dine on 1 to 3 courses. The daily fare is written on the 2 large ardoise set on the tuffeau walls and choices include, assiettes of fromage and charcuterie, ideal to accompany a glass of wine! ‘Le plat du jour’, salade ‘Les Tontons du Jour’, entrec
