Loved loved loved this place. Le Val Joli was one of the three restaurants in Vouvray, and honestly, it wasn't our first choice. Our B&B owner had recommended a different place, and we ended up at Le Val Joli when that other place was closed.
It turned out to be fantastic. The first time we went, we had already eaten and were just there for some drinks and snacks. They have a great list of wines from the region. Their cheese selection was excellent, and our server was happy to give some really good recommendations on cheeses we hadn't heard of. We also had a baked cauliflower dish that was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Really, I never knew cauliflower could be like this.
The service was amazing. All the servers were really nice and helpful, and the service was even fast! In France! My sister accidentally left her hat there one night, and when we went back for it, the manager remembered us and was ready with the hat before we even mentioned it.
We ate their twice over the course of a three-night stay, and we wanted to eat their a third time, but they were closed the last day. Highly recommended.
Our dinner at Le Val Joli was easily one of the best on our trip to France. Friendly, if hurried, staff of two. The waiter and sous-chef was attentive and answered all of our questions.
We started with crab salad and mango - fresh, light, deep flavors. The crab taste came through and was well complemented by the mango slice and sauce seasonings. The children started with a porc terrine - also very good, though simple and without accompaniment.
Our entrees were the fish de la semaine and a lamb "knuckle". The poached fish was done very nicely. The lamb was soft and flavorful. We also had rib steak with creamy polenta - very good.
Desserts were excellent. Wonderful fruit tart. Pistachio, raspberry, and cream assemblage. Chocolate tart with caramel ice cream which the children really liked.
Well recommended.
Une découverte tout à fait agréable. Cuisine traditionnelle avec d'excellents produits. Le service est impeccable et le personnel sympathique. Un relationnel rare à notre époque qu'il faut souligner. Beaucoup apprécié la venue du "cuisinier" qui, je pense est le propriétaire au moment de notre départ . En fauteuil roulant c'est la première fois que la question m'est posée de savoir si la hauteur de la table était satisfaisante.
Bravo pour ces attentions et ce bon repas. Rapport qualité prix : correct.
