Restaurants in Tours

Casse-Cailloux holds a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025, plus a Star Wine List White Star — at the €€ price tier, that is a disproportionate set of credentials for a neighbourhood modern cuisine room in central Tours. With a 4.7 Google rating across nearly 500 reviews, it is one of the more reliable serious meals in the Loire Valley without the cost of a starred restaurant.

La Deuvalière is a Michelin Plate-recognised Modern Cuisine restaurant in Tours' historic old town, operating at the €€ price tier. With two consecutive Michelin Plate awards (2024 and 2025) and a 4.6 Google rating from 744 reviews, it offers reliable, quality-conscious cooking at a price well below Tours' starred alternatives. Booking is easy and the experience suits solo travellers and small groups equally well.

La Rissole holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025 and a 4.5 Google rating across 223 reviews — making it one of the most credible €€ addresses in Tours. Located on the Place du Grand Marché, it is the practical first choice for a special occasion lunch or weekend meal in the city's old quarter, with easy booking and pricing that does not require a long justification.

Les Bartavelles holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025 and scores 4.8 from over 300 Google reviews, making it the most credentialled modern cuisine address in Tours at the €€€ tier. Booking is straightforward with a few days' notice. The Loire wine context makes the drinks pairing as important as the food — plan your evening accordingly.

Nobuki is the only Michelin Plate-recognised Japanese restaurant in Tours, operating at a €€ price point that makes the decision straightforward for food-focused travellers. With a 4.9 Google rating from nearly 600 reviews and back-to-back Michelin Plates in 2024 and 2025, this is a serious kitchen at a fair price. If you're touring the Loire and want something outside the French-classical repertoire, book here.

A recently refurbished manor house on the edge of Tours, La Roche Le Roy holds a Michelin Plate (2024) and a 4.7 Google rating across 784 reviews. Chef Maximilien Bridier delivers precise, ingredient-led modern French cooking with no unnecessary complexity, a committed vegetarian option, and a strong by-the-glass Loire wine selection. At €€€, it earns its price.

A wine-program-led bistrot in central Tours with a name that signals its priorities: the Loire Valley cellar, not just the plate. Easy to book relative to Tours' more competitive tables, and a practical choice for food-and-wine explorers who want a market-driven meal anchored in Touraine appellation depth. Best for pairs or solo diners who care as much about what's in the glass as on the table.

Chez Gaster on Rue Colbert is a low-friction morning option in central Tours — easy to book, calmly paced, and well-positioned for solo diners or pairs. It won't compete with higher-end addresses like Les Bartavelles, but for a relaxed weekend brunch without planning overhead, it's one of the more practical calls in the neighbourhood.
