Le Pont Levis - Langeais

Had lunch with a friend at a table outside on a breezy spring day. At this time of year, they do not do evening dinners, just lunches. The three-course meal was value for money and service friendly. The menu was original-to-standard. We would certainly go again.

This place was a bit of a find. Nothing much to look at from the outside, although on the doorstep of the Château Langeais. The food was excellent! We had a lunchtime menu both chose the same salad de gesiers, tenderloin of pork in a creamy cider mushroom sauce, followed by pear gratins. Really good food. Good value. Good service. Parking nearby. In a very nice little town with lovely Château.

This may not help with your plans today, but as I sort through some old photos I realize this is the same place we visited back in 1981. So my guess is that any place that has been open nearly 40 years is pretty good!

The server at this establishment demonstrates the very worst of rude arrogance and gives his (usually lovely) countrymen a bad name. There are plenty of other very nice places to visit in Langeais without needing to set foot in this establishment.

Stopped here for lunch today and the staff were brilliant. They put up with my sub par french (I really need to get better at speaking) and helped us to order a stunning meal for a very good price. Fast service and really tasty food. A must visit for lunch if you're at the château
