Assa - Blois

First I would like to say that eating is excellent and definitely worth going. as others have said, it is expensive, but within each course we found three small dishes/aways of cooking the ingredients all very interesting and excellent....presentation was nice where some hard points must be, the service and the young servedeam is a certain direction to give, it was stressful to observe and experience. our table was reserved for 7.30 and it seemed like everyone else. we were the second table to take place. Unfortunately, the staff did not seem to have a system to serve everyone in time, it was all very haphazard. before we left, we had already decided that we would make the complete tasting menu and I would weep it with the paired weeps (it is what we always do) like my man drove. So I didn't feel that I needed another wee while waiting for the menu. we just asked for quiet water, the waiter didn't seem impressed. our snack was delivered and was nice with little leaf shaped cracker on a bonsai tree, sadly the waiter took the tree away before I had a chance to taste my cracker and did not hear me recall, he returned with that tree and cracker a few minutes later. we then noticed that other guests had a second “snack” our never appeared. we were left for at least 15 minutes without menu to penetrate or something, while most other guests who sat after us (and ordered wein) were given the menu history. when our first cure came, I had to ask for my paired wee. once the staff was in the services of the courses, the dinge went much smoother for us but twice we noticed that they were mixed on the table next to us. the plates down and take them away again, like for the wrong table. we were sad to many michelin restaurants in our time that the service in this is the worst thing I have experienced and it definitiw distracted from the food. Please give the servedam a certain direction, especially at the beginning of the evening.

We have tried a series of highly rated locations. assa impressed us most. kreatiw without exaggerating it. local ingredients used with large cooking techniques. friendly service with a good tempo. amazing wine list. very well done.

Excellent fine gastronomie frenchjaponese fusion. The location is not very good, not practice for parking, no possibilities to charge e.cars. The room is noisy would need a more cosy quiet place to enjoy the exquisite food explosion of french japonese fusion créations . Where the...local fish or beef meet and dispute the flavours came from Japan miso, shitake, soy marinades, matcha , yuzu . Fish dish accompanied with kind of pickles bit too salty .

Fantastic meal! Innovative, lots of umami, exciting combinations, beautiful presentations, the best meal I have had in a long time.

Credit to this restaurant which has very high ambitions and clearly prides itself on purveying an experience which is more creative and poetic (literally) than conventional, traditional establishments. But the truth is, the ambition frequently exceeded the execution, a fact underscored by the pretentiousness of...presentation and scantness of portions. We have eaten at many high-flown temples of gastronomy and are used to to rarefied presentations of food. But all too often, the former can dramatise the shortcomings of the latter. So, while the food was certainly good, it did not, in our opinion, deserve adjectives like extraordinary or spectacular .
