Advantages: Some good food Disadvantages: Quailty inconsistent, poor presentation, poor service
the menu until the drinks arrived and when we did, we found we had been given the standard menu so we told the staff member that we had booked for the promotional menu. He told us we had come to the wrong restaurant. He said we should be at the sister restaurant, the Brasserie, and that the company had informed the Times that they should change the information in the newspaper but they hadn't. When we pointed out that we had spoken directly to the restaurant when we made our reservation and that we had not, during the course of two telephone calls with staff, been advised that we should go to the Brasserie, he simply shrugged and offered to arrange a taxi to the Brasserie at the restaurants expense. Anxious not to spoil the evening any further we agreed.

On our recent trip to the Loire Valley Mr Tart and myself arrived in Tours quite late on our first night. We drove down to Tours from Paris. We were going to stop for something to eat on the way but in the end decided to make our way straight to Tours and get settled in the hotel and then find something close by. A couple of minutes from our hotel we came across this place and were really glad that we did.
LOCATION:
La Chope is located at 25 Avenue Grammont. Our hotel was on the same road so we just came across it. It is about a ten minute walk from Tours? old town. The restaurant doesn?t stand out and the sign is not particularly bright so make sure you look out for it.

Manufacturer's product description
Elegant and filled with potted plants and flowers, this city center oasis has soft rose-colored walls and starched white table linen. Service is both polished and friendly. For starters, try the filet of beef carpaccio. The grilled sea bass with lobster sauce makes a fine main course, and the crème brûlée with ice cream flavored with sweet Pedro Ximenez sherry is a tempting dessert. This member of the Alliance Gastronomique is much favored by leading business executives.
