La Promenade

It may take a little getting to, but this family-run restaurant set in the countryside is a real treat! Fabrice and Clément Dallais, representing the third and fourth generations, create dishes with a modern outlook. Theirs is tasty, festive fare that is deeply rooted in the local land – for example, Racan chicken and pigeon, Géline de Touraine (heirloom poultry), offal and game, organic vegetables from market gardeners, and pike. Tuck into their surprise set menus in an immaculate contemporary setting. Remarkable wine list and judicious recommendations from the sommelier.

Long-standing Michelin star (36 years)

• La Promenade has maintained a Michelin star since 1989, illustrating consistent, celebrated chef-level craft and a long tradition of culinary excellence.

Set in a former blacksmith's workshop

• The dining space sits in a building that used to be a blacksmith’s forge (ancienne maréchalerie), a distinctive historic setting that blends artisanal craft with modern haute cuisine.

A multi-generational, family-run kitchen and leadership

• The Maison Dallais is a family affair across three generations since 1960, with the next generation (Clément Dallais) now contributing, continuing the lineage and philosophy of La Promenade.
