Cristal Hotel Restaurant

My partner and I came for a glass of wine and to watch the sunset. We ended up sharing a cheese plate because it looked so good. Lovely place, we'll certainly go again.

Attentive friendly service. Good value and wide menu that will appeal to all tastes. Small criticism - take the specials off the menu on week ends when they don't apply.

Enjoyed two dinners here during my 6 nights in Saumur. Pleasant outdoor dining with staff very well co-ordinated to insure good service. Food quite pleasant. Nice setting. Ver carta

Good food,with choice for every taste,very attentive staff.If you don't enjoy eating outside you can visit the dinning room which is nicely arranged.When seated outside you can look over the river and enjoy the scenery.

Went here for Birthday lunch for our son who is 14. We didn't book, got a nice table outside. Service and food was excellent. They also do a very nice 3 course lunch for 15 Euros. Great location and a good all round experience.

The meals we had on our first visit were superb. In particular the Fish and Chips which consisted of hand crumbed and grilled white fish. However, on our second visit the fish had morphed into a triangular bird 's eye battered piece very disappointed. However, i would visit again and all in all very pleasant. Ver carta

The place was fairly busy at lunch time and looked like a good place to have lunch. The waiters were prompt and friendly. The menu was typical for the type of restaurant. The food wasn't particularly good though. We've had better steak at similar restaurants. The same holds for the tuna. It wasn't very bad either and the price was ok. All in all a decent place for lunch if you do not expect too much.

The menus had changed from those of previous years and seemed to reflect simpler and less tasty food. There are other restaurants offering more traditional and satisfactory fare at similar prices close by.Having arrived as the first guests service seemed assured but gradually fell off so that the dessert course (part of a set meal) took over 45 minutes to come. A protest after 25 minutes was met by the disconcerting 'we are very busy' which obviously had no effect. It seems a familiar problem that servers had no responsibility for nominated tables/ customers.We shall not return.

wenn,ve learned tonight Not top Trust The Star Rating. we ordered rilette der canard AS a Starter, minced beef Thai Style and beef tartar. The rilette was ok. the minced beef a pure Desaster, meetpices Simmering i lot of brown goja of Sojasauce. Thai noodles Serverad a Part coolked With some vegetables,mostly bambooshots. Uneatabel. I Still Wonder what kind of meat they used to the tartar ? The worse tartar i Ever got during many Yeard traveling in France. For THE seasoning i got lot of capers,less minced cucumber more than less minced onions, Tabasco and worcestersauce. No .dijonmustard. On top of it, The service could also be improved. Ver carta
