Les Caves de Marson
Dine by candlelight in a chalk cave, with wood-fired fouées flatbreads: Saumur's most iconic cave-dining experience.
Located in the village of Rou-Marson, about 6 km west of Saumur, the restaurant is set in a cave hewn from chalk stone, lit by candles, with a large wood-fired oven for fouées right by the entrance. The set menu includes an aperitif, a starter, unlimited freshly baked fouées, dessert and drinks. The flatbreads can be filled with chipouillettes, white beans (mogettes) and other toppings. Typical starters include mushroom tart, and dessert is seasonal fruit crumble. Reviews from 2026 cite a set menu of about €31, with a Google rating of 4.8. It is very popular, so book well in advance. You will need to drive.
