In this sophisticated place, the same recipe for hot chocolate has been used for 60 years. How not to be tempted! The first sip revives childhood memories, a real Proust's madeleine. Tea lovers have not been forgotten with a selection of fifteen flavors. Your beverage will go perfectly with a pastry or a chocolate. The greed and happiness felt in this century-old setting are a beautiful tribute to the Godineau family adventure. One last piece of advice: don't ignore their macaroons!

While it is true that no bagpipe concert has yet been organized here, the place is still a perfect place in terms of local colour! Beautiful woodwork combined with a superb collection of paintings and old photos make the Black Peat a real Scottish-inspired pub. The most sceptical need only take a look at the whisky map: 111 references! On the beer side, the choice is also very wide, in bottle as well as in pressure. We sip all this in front of a football or rugby match broadcast or a good rock concert upstairs. Finally, for those who wish to eat, burgers and cheesecake are highly recommended here.

An ideal place to have a drink with friends or to eat while avoiding the hustle and bustle of the streets in the centre: set up opposite the entrance to the castle, at the foot of its towers, the elegance of the place is undeniable. This cheerful and creative bar offers a wide choice of cocktails: in addition to the classic Mojito and Piña Colada, the Claire Chazal (gin, sugar, lemon, ginger, strawberry), even if you don't understand its name, is delicious! As for the cuisine, it is generous and without fuss, just like the area it honours.

Welcome to Cloclo and Phiphi! The "almost" guinguette (especially Sunday) is located at the entrance to the Daguenière, just after Trélazé (the route of Saumur). Close to the Loire, this nice restaurant tells us something: the French would have nostalgia for the time when the accordion was the king of the feast, not the techno music… Because on Sunday midday, the accordionist brings to dance both the old and the younger… Of course, you'll also be style (see Restaurants chapter).

Le Chat Lon de Thé is a beautiful idea, from the head of the sympathetic Sarah and Marylou. In the heart of the Saint-Aubin street, they created a tea room where nice little fur balls are wandering around. What a pleasure to warm up with a hot chocolate or to enjoy a rougail or a croque-monsieur in the ambient purring of little cats. Our two managers have a great pleasure to share the history of their little companions and discuss their respective characters. In partnership with several associations, these cats are available for adoption with a symbolic payment of the pupping and vaccination fees. Beware, a crush happens very quickly!
