Le George Restaurant, Loches

Recently my friend Charlie, from La Ferme des Effes, messaged me to say that the side of lamb I had ordered from him was ready. It was originally to be delivered before Christmas, but he explained that they had left the sheep on the pasture an extra month to gain weight after the drought. In fact, I took delivery of two sides of lamb, one of which was for Rosemary and Jean-Michel. They live in Blois, so we decided to meet in the middle to hand over the goods.

The server leads us through the bar out onto the verandah.

It seemed like a good idea to eat at Le George in Loches. The hotel has had a makeover since we were last there, and it seems like the sort of place we might decide to take clients.

We had the menu du jour and the vin du jour. The main course and dessert was good, the service friendly and quite efficient.

The verandah dining room is a great setting, jutting out over the river Indre. Check out the 'diver'.

I don't normally photograph the toilets (well, unless they are a la turque or something...).

I remember that the last time (and I think the only time) we ate there was in 2014 after signing the compromis de vente at the notaire's office, largely because it was on a Monday and very few places are open in Loches on Mondays.
It was pretty mediocre and not worth going back. I look forward to trying it again.

Jean: That's well before the change of ownership and probably at the peak of previous lacklustre presentation of the place.
