Saumur has a fine selection of low and mid-priced restaurants spread around the town. Choice is somewhat limited on Sundays and public holidays.
Recommendations:
Le Pause Gourmande £ - Good food provided - in the centre of town near the bank. Quiet ambience with polite staff.
Brusselles Cafe £ - Extensive Brasserie menu and very fast efficient staff. One of the few eateries to serve lunch past 2pm and dinner past 9pm and very reliable quality.
Le Tire Bouchon £ - Near the river bank in the cntre of town. Quality bistro style with a number of "out of region" dishes not found elsewhere
Le Bigoudan £ - Excellent creperie in Rue St Nicholas with a Brittany theme and good range of cider.
Finer food and slightly more formal settings can be found at L'Escargot, La Pyrenne and La Gambetta which are all on streets slightly off the main town area and diners are more likely to be local than tourists. Expect to pay 50 euros per head with a local wine.
