The story
At 73 rue Haute Saint-Maurice in Chinon, Les Années 30 has been a destination for refined modern cuisine since 2003. Karine and Stéphane welcome guests with a warm, personal touch, offering a dining experience rooted in the flavours of the Loire Valley.
The restaurant’s philosophy is simple: refined food paired with a thoughtful selection of local wines. The menu changes regularly, but the midday formule is a standout—a three-course option at €27 that includes a choice of starter and main, or main and dessert, accompanied by a glass of wine, water, and coffee. The evening menus, offered at €39 and €49, each come with or without a cheese course, and showcase the kitchen’s skill with modern cuisine.
