Fodor's Expert Review Bistrot L'Oppidum

This bistro, specializing in all the bounty of the Loire Valley, unites friendly service, stylish decor, a convivial atmosphere, and outstanding cuisine. Whether it's melt-in-your-mouth lamb, a copious charcuterie board featuring local cheeses and house-made foie gras, or an all-fish plate that assembles fish rillettes of the local Loire silure and caviar from the Sologne, you're sure to make delicious discoveries. The spacious terrace overlooking the meandering Loire River is a lovely spot to dine, snack, sample the Loire appellations, or imbibe a cocktail on fine days.
