Les Dames De La Loire
About
Nestled halfway between the picturesque towns of Saumur and Doué‑la‑Fontaine, Les Dames de la Loire offers a warm, rustic dining experience that celebrates the bounty of local Anjou produce. Housed in a traditional ‘tuffeau’ stone building, the restaurant showcases wood and wrought‑iron detailing, a sun‑kissed terrace that lets guests dine under the shade of linden trees in summer or by candlelight in winter, and an intimate indoor bar area. Chef Sébastien Cogné, joined by co‑owner Sarah, crafts every dish from scratch, pairing seasonal ingredients with a carefully curated wine list featuring regional labels. Whether it’s a leisurely lunch, an intimate dinner, or a celebratory gathering, the attentive service and relaxed ambiance make Les Dames a standout stop on the Loire Valley’s culinary map.
