L'Odéon-Olivier Imbert - Tours

Near the train station, modest looking from outside, not one I would pick by appearance but so much better than most of the places I have eaten in Tour.We picked a plat du jour and were not disappointed. The food was very good and the service was impeccable. High marks to the wait staff! Wish I had discovered sooner!

I didn't have much time in Tours as I was using it as a place to recover from transatlantic travel. I was delighted to find this restaurant close to my near-station hotel.The Menu L'Odeon at 26 Euros came with an amuse-bouche and my selection of fresh asparagus with shrimp and crab and avocado cream, then rack of lamb superbly done with artichoke 'legs' and new potatoes. No room for dessert! Not open on the weekend; according to the owner, most waiters are university students who go home then to local villages. Michelin lists this as good home cooking; I wish I could produce a meal as good as this in my home.

Restaurant with a little inviting façade, but who, all in all, has been able to meet our expectations. The service was very pleasant and I especially enjoyed that I was tasted the wines - controlled with glass - before being served (which is not so common). the choice of dishes and menus is quite limited, but to focus on refinement and quality. the kitchen is of good invoice and taste, all offered at more than reasonable prices compared to many other addresses. encourage real restaurateurs, and also take a tour of the odéon.

I had an excellent experience dining at L'Odeon. I was with a small group for which food had been pre-ordered, but the staff was very willing to accommodate my request for no meat or shellfish. The starter was a delectable tiny jar of sweet-potato purée with pesto. I had mullet for the main course, with delicious accompaniments, and dessert was an impossibly light almond tuile with a mousse and black-cherry sorbet. The food and service were impeccable. Highly recommmended!

We were with our friends and we discovered this restaurant that was recommended to us. Little world for a Saturday night. we have no negative comment on the meal that was delicious. mixed welcome. during the meal we were surprised to hear bursts of voices from the kitchen and this on several occasions it made us uncomfortable. and will not incite us to come back.
