Le Malu

Le Malu holds a Bib Gourmand and stands at the exit of Vendôme toward Tours in the commune of Villerable. The restaurant publishes clear prices for its Menu Vendômois, Menu Saveurs and a six-course Menu Dégustation and posts dedicated holiday and event menus and prices for occasions such as Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. Menus shown on the site feature seasonal and seafood-focused plates — scallops, langoustine tartare and a daily fish — and poultry and pork sourced from named regional farms. The kitchen lists partner producers for vegetables, poultry, meats, cheeses, wines, breads, saffron and escargots, and the site supplies practical visitor information including opening/service hours, a group limit of eight people (guests of 6–8 asked to contact by email), and online-reservation instructions that may require a card imprint and a confirmation email; the tasting menu is served in the evenings (latest booking 20:30) and Sunday midday. The kitchen presents modern French cooking through composed set menus and a multi-course tasting option whose style is seasonal and built around the named local producers. Specialties include tartare de langoustines; pan-seared scallops (Saint-Jacques) with carrots, leek and ginger; the Poisson du moment; pigeon with celery and truffle; and Dos de cochon (pork loin) from a local farm with beetroots.
