Hostaria Del Re

I stopped here before going on to explore the castle and cathedral, at the risk of losing out on kitchen hours if I had gone later. It was a chilly afternoon but comfortable enough to sit outside enjoying the wonderful ambience that is the the historical village of Blois. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly, and the food once ordered, came in about 20 minutes. The risotto was divine and my sbagliato a wonderful match. I absolutely recommend this restaurant for not only its location but also the delicious food and kind staff who make it a worthwhile stop.

Absolutely great restaurant close to Château. Small but very delicious menu. Wide range of wine and interesting whiskey. Good choice of cheese Staff was very warm and friendly

The food was exquisite, in correct quantities, and the service was quick and efficient. Definitely the restaurant to try if you can afford it. It's next to Blois' Castle, and there is no car near it.

I had the tortellini, my husband had the veal, we both loved our meal. Our server was wonderful, service was fast and the accommodated my husbands allergy. We couldn't have had a better experience.

Delicious and tasty, we found again the taste of Italy We shared the Burrata as a starter and then had Risotto Forestiero and La Dama Bianca (for vegetarians). Both dishes were delicious and totally met our expectations. For the dessert, we got Tiramisù and Panettone Perduto. Quantities are generous and the lady was so sweet. I will come back for sure!

A little hard to find when relying on a car--Google Maps didn't understand that it was on a different level in the city. We ended up figuring it out by parking down in the square below and walking up the stairs. The stairs are plentiful and steep but there's a railing and a bench halfway up. (Our parents needed this help.) But then we got to this charming little restaurant and got to sit on their beautiful terrace that overlooked the city and river below. The food was worth the treasure hunt! Although we've been loving the French fare, we were ready for a little something different and this delectable Italian cuisine fit the bill.

The food was great! Calm place to have a meal, right next to the Castle of Blois. Service was not entirely friendly, hence 4 stars

There are plenty of restaurants cooking Italian food in France. But the last time I had authentic Italian food before going to Hostaria del Re was in Italy! A real gem in Blois! Grazie!
