Château des Ducs de Joyeuse

Three British families who have come to this area every summer for on average 10 years met up for dinner here on a Monday evening. Helpfully the restaurant is open on a Monday evening unlike most in the area. None of us recognise the experience of the previous UK reviewer. On the contrary, we were of the view that this is one of the best places in the area.We went for the Renaissance menu at 36 euros. The dinner was wonderfully creative with masterchef-type twists. For example, the Dorade was beautifully cooked on a bed of interestingly woven vegetables. The puddings included a modern expression of a raspberry rolly-poly, called a 'Bras de gitan'.

The restaurant food was at best average and overly priced compared to similar eateries in the area. The local wine available in the surrounding vineyards is sold to their customers at a massive mark up and certainly does not represent any sort of value.

lunch a nice Sunday with friends who started with a warm and attentive welcome. apéro d'un verre de blanquette, frais et pétillant, followed by a small amuse-gueule. choice of the renaissance menu - the soup was exquisite and the calf cooked to perfection. excellent recommendation for the wine of a beautiful map with great choice. a discreet and very attentive service - perfect. This restaurant offers fresh products, prepared with a wonderful imagination that are a feast of taste buds. really an excellent value for money for the very high level of cuisine and dishes offered. Certainly one of the best restaurants anywhere. deserves a detour.

a summer night, warm and bearable, in the courtyard of a Renaissance castle (hotel) surrounded by other dining rooms distributed around the sound of the harp that accompanied the dinner and the melodious voice that transported us to other times, to the origins of the castle owners. the night fell and the light adorned the stones of the building, sublimely decorated. and continued the music as the dishes arrived, a kitchen suitable to the place, with professional and friendly waiters, all suitable to make the moment unforgettable. And that is what you ask for a good table: not to feed, but to turn the moment into unforgettable.

The courtyard is a lovely place to dine. They offer multiple set menus at different prices and A La Carte. The food was very good but quite pricey however the staff were lovely and the pace of service was perfect. Definitely worth a visit.
