La Détente Gourmande

61, rue du Marechal de Lattre de Tassigny - 41150 Chaumont-sur-Loire

02-54-33-94-65

On the main street of Chaumont, with the castle looming above and the peaceful Loire River below, La Détente Gourmande is an adorable local favorite for lunch or afternoon tea in chef-owner Blanche Breton’s family house. A former jeweler, Blanche has found her creative outlet in developing daily market specials like boudin blanc (white sausage) or chèvre-stuffed shitake mushrooms plated like paintings (her own works hang on the walls). Blanche herself also carefully decorated the five-table restaurant and the geranium-filled terrace. In addition to local organic wines, Blanche offers a vast selection of organic teas and daily tarts for those with a sweet tooth.
