L'Antre Amis - Gien

We ate fish and shipowners, burgers and carrpacio. It was all right, but when we sat outside and it hurts cold, we frozen and tried to stop the meal quickly.

I had a dinner a few days ago with my family and other friends we were in 12, including 8 children). The owner was very friendly, he took care of us and our children from the first moment to the end! Everything was excellent, the burgers, Camembert cheese and dessert! I provide this restaurant for anyone who travels in Gien...instead of many other restaurants that made reservations to not have us for dinner!

Nice location , but horrible attitude. We waited 15 20 mins to be acknowledged by which time, at 1.30 we were told lunch was over very unpleasant

Beutiful view at the Loire with good food and a nice glas of wine. Enjoying life with simple things and having great pleasure.

Bistrot l’Antre Amis is a terrific location, especially if the weather’s warm enough to sit outside on the quayside overlooking the river. Seated side by side you’re able to choose views of the comings going on the Loire, or facing the restaurant building you’ll...see plenty to keep you amused. It’s located opposite the end of the pedestrian area of town, so there’s enough to see. The road between you the buildings isn’t too busy, traffic certainly isn’t fast, we didn’t really notice it much apart from the odd occasion we watched ‘interesting’ manoeuvers. Obviously the staff are well used to operating across a road but even bearing that in mind, the levels of service here are incredible. The food lives up to the location I’d be surprised if there’s anywhere markedly better for lunch in Gien. We were only here for one day so can’t compare as we didn’t eat anywhere else, but we certainly didn’t wish we’d gone elsewhere. Lunchtime in the sun, with a couple of beers nothing too much to pull us away quickly, perfect. There were also families with variously aged children, business groups, ladies who lunch, other touristy couples. Everyone well catered for thoroughly enjoying themselves. I only ventured inside the actual restaurant building once, however I did take a quick look around, it was pretty full (no idea why people wanted to be inside rather than out but that’s their choice! again, everyone looked happy. The interior décor is good. I can only imagine that dinner here is as good, however for lunch, I can thoroughly recommend it. Phil.
