Auberge Gourmande - Gilly-sur-Loire

Found by luck, only for a bite to eat, wow was fantastic 3 curs meal for a bargain price, great service, delicious well balanced eating. will go out of the way to go back there.

I eat here regularly as I find it has constantly food and service of a very high standards. it was closed for 2 weeks for renovation over the Christmas holiday season 2016-7 and has now opened again, very chic look. the menu gradually develops, so regular...You can often find something new to entice them.

We eat at l 'Auberge Gourmande regularly, most recently on March 2 2014. The welcome is unfailingly warm, the ambience inviting, and the food above reproach. The menu changes regularly and takes advantage of seasonal produce, and the style is classic French with some modern touches....Great tastes and elegant presentation go hand in hand, and the prices are reasonable. On this visit my wife chose the pheasant terrine then lamb cutlets, and I ate poultry samosas then confit of duck in an Armanac sauce. We were offered a palate cleansing apple sorbet free of charge between courses. The cheese trolley always has a huge range of regional choices, the desserts are seductive (order them at the start as they are cooked to order). The wine list is well thought out and the costs are relatively modest. Booking in advance is recommended as the reputation of this restaurant is growing and with a maximum of about 26 covers this family-run enterprise is fast becoming a 'destination ' place of choice. When we have visitors from the UK we always take them there, and no-one has ever been disappointed.
