La Tonnelle Bar a vin

A friend remarked that La Tonnelle is "dangerous" because the wines are so well selected and so reasonably priced that you can get in plenty of trouble there. Well, it's true, but you don't have to go all out. Just know that you have been warned.This casual, but efficient and professional, wine bar has a stunningly good list, and the wines are complimented by really delicious platters. A nice twist is that in addition to charcuterie and cheese, they also have a seafood and "sashimi" plate that is an excellent and a lovely match against the Loire Valley white wines.The decor is sparse and minimal, but recently (May 2017) featured local artists and photographers that are definitely a notch up. There is an upstairs lounge and a massive patio in addition to the dining room, so you can pick and chose your vibe. It is energatic but not overly loud, and the music is lovingly curated.Etienne, the owner and host, is certainly well connected in the local wine scene and if you are even the least bit curious, he has lots of "unpublished" bottles that are not on the list. Just ask, and then review paragraph one above. The night that we were there, plenty of local winemakers were in the house, and it became clear that La Tonnelle is a real hub for the trade.We had an amazing time, but know that even if you don't scratch deeply here, the food and wine are of the highest quality from start to finish. It's as casual or high end as you want it to be. Bravo!

Decent craft beer selection, great wine selection and a very good whisky selection although personally, I would like to see more premium whiskey on offer. If you want a relaxed drink, overlooking the Loire with friendly patrons and staff, this place has it all. Very relaxed and welcoming, it is a very easy place to lose a few hours. I knock a point off as it is not easy to get a second drink in from waiting staff. A 30 minute check in with patrons or a subtle glass check ever 45 minutes is recommended. If nothing else, 2 simple acts of proactive customer service *may* increase customer satisfaction and bar turnover.

Although a wine bar, my husband enjoyed a couple of beers. I had Cremant. Obviously large selection of wine and friendly, attentive, staff to advise/recommend. We also had a selection of cheese which was very good.

We visited here recently and had a meat and cheese platter and a few glasses of excellent local wines. The service was great and we managed to spend a couple of hours here without any problem
