I have not been in Blois recently, cooks change and the quality of
restaurants with them.
I am told that there are still some restaurants where you can eat a
decent meal for 20EUR in Blois, for example:
La banquette rouge
La boucherie
Le bistrot du cuisinier
Le bistrot de LĂ©onard
Le Maldras
La palmeraie
Le lapin gourmand
Les planches
I happened to be in Deauville saturday where I though that any restaurant
would cost an arm. But actually we had a very decent 3 courses meal for
23EUR at night, and the bottle of wine was very reasonable.
