La Tour

"Nestling at the foot of a 14C tower in the heart of the famous wine-growing village, this traditional townhouse boasts an elegant, contemporary-style dining room that has retained a handful of period touches (beams, ceiling and mouldings). Simplicity, authenticity and bags of character are the hallmarks of dishes elevated by high-quality ingredients, such as cep and onion ravioli served with kale, or chuck of veal with cauliflower. Delicious, well-balanced flavours and judicious use of condiments: pared-back cuisine that makes for a delicious culinary interlude." - Michelin Inspector

"At the Michelin-starred Restaurant La Tour on Sancerre’s main square, chef Baptiste Fournier forgoes today’s culinary trends for simple, sophisticated French fare. He offers just three starters (langoustines, salmon, and mussels) and four entrées (fish, chicken, beef, and lamb) on the weekdays, and a superbly priced five-course menu on the weekends, complete with fish and meat, a cheese course, and dessert. For those looking to indulge, there are also three set menus—the Promenade, Pleasure, and Confidence—that adhere to the same minimalism, but surprise with innovative flavor combinations. Whichever you choose, be sure to pair your meal with a bottle of local Sancerre."

"A restaurant serving Domaine Fouassier’s Rouge Sancerre with notes of wild strawberry and clove." - Kristin Braswell
