Rediscovering Baccara

Baccara, a restaurant on Avenue de Grammont in Tours, has been revisited by Info Tours after a few years, highlighting the continued appeal of chef Fabien Cabrera's cuisine since their first review in 2019.

Renovated Front, Intimate Ambiance

The restaurant's front has undergone a recent renovation, while the interior maintains a subdued and intimate atmosphere, featuring cozy corners like a table next to an aquarium. Its location is central, just two steps from Place de la Liberté.

Reasonable Pricing and Service

The midday menu remains reasonably priced, with an entrée-plat-dessert set at 28€, slightly up from 25€90 during the last visit. The service is described as elegant and attentive, encouraging diners to savor their meals rather than rush through them.

Seasonal and Textured Starters

The starter featured a seasonal roasted butternut squash with honey, goat cheese faisselle, and pumpkin seeds, noted for its taste, comfort, and texture contrast. A silky carrot velouté was paired with a falafel, adding to the meal's richness.

High-Quality Main Courses

The main course included a blackened steak with a crispy parmesan coating served on a creamy pesto risotto, seasoned with garlic milk emulsion. The beef parmentier was also praised for its indulgent quality.

Evening Menu Offers Variety

In the evening, the menu blends tradition with quality ingredients, offering dishes like foie gras, tourangelle tatin with rillons, and a rare but well-prepared ramen. Desserts include options like equatorial cigar chocolate, and the restaurant is recommended as a notable gastronomic spot just outside the hyper-center.
