HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I love everything about L’Auberge du Pont. I happened to stop in and found this charming, simple restaurant full of locals. I was the only English speaker and the waitress (adorably kind and helpful quickly greeted me and led me to a table. Fortunately, she had enough English to help me out. She explained all of the lunch offerings and subtly pointed out a few dished at other tables to help me make a choice. Everything I had was absolutely delicious. The steak and frites (home made! were delicious. The steak was perfectly prepared to my liking (medium rare and offerings included blue cheese, bernaise, or pepper sauce. The pepper sauce was amazing with both the steak and fries. It was just a special place I’d love to go back again before I leave the area. Check this out (photos for proof! the owner and chef would pop out of the kitchen every few minutes to check up on their guests, refill wine, and ask about their dishes. So attentive and friendly. It was super sweet watching the him carry the entire menu chalk board to guests between dishes (dessert mainly! to help them with choices. The chalk board in one hand, a bottle of wine to top off glasses in the other. Superb. The dessert (a meringue light and rich at the same time was recommended by one of the French patrons and it was delicious. I’ve been in Paris/Loire for 4 weeks and this place just hit on everything I love. Simple, honest dishes, kind and authentic service, and beyond reasonable pricing. Go! Eat! Enjoy! They’ll take care of you! Promise!
