The restaurant of the Relais d'Amboise, on the banks of the Loire below the château: French sauce-based cooking with Touraine produce, dishes from €28 to €34. Open every day.

Le Choiseul is the restaurant of the Relais d'Amboise, a five-star hotel on the banks of the Loire, at the foot of the royal château. The Minim monks lived on this spot in the 16th century and, in the 18th, the Duke of Choiseul, who according to the hotel was the most powerful man in the kingdom after Louis XV; the restaurant takes its name from him. From the dining room and the rooftop bar you can see the river and the Île d'Or.
