1217 - Bagnols

The restaurant is in a spectacular setting, with the the largest fireplace mantel in Europe. The food is also excellently prepared and presented. Unfortunately, they were woefully understaffed the two nights we ate there. Staff tried hard and was friendly, but most inexperienced and a bit overwhelmed. Also, chef needs to change the menu more frequently and offer a few more choices especially for guests like us who will eat there a number of times during their visit.

First, the location is unforgettable. What a eyesight when arriving at the sunset, with the golden rocks of the castle shining brightly. The garden of the castle is an ideal location to get some pictures before dinner and enjoy the calm. The castle is dominating the surrounding vineyards. The personnel is young, nice and very attentive to your needs. A sommelier is going to suggest the ideal match for each dish. Most guests are from abroad, so it will be easy to have a conversation about anything while enjoying your meal. And last, what a pleasure it has been to receive an invitation to visit the kitchen at the end of the service! The food was a delight from a technical standpoint as well as its appearance. The dinner is composed of three courses, including a delicious dessert. Certainly, we'll be back.

Beautiful setting, Originally coming to motorbike from Lyon to enjoy the calm of the Castle, I stayed there for dinner. The attention and dialogues emanating from young Chef Antonin Buron were remarkable before and after the service. It is a leader who is inhabited by his profession knowing how to humblely value him at every moment with the center customer satisfaction. In fact, a beautiful culinary discovery carried by a service that is thoughtful and coming. Among other things, I think of Inès and Raphaël with whom I was able to exchange during this meal and that I thank.

Exceptional. An idyllic setting just 30 minutes from Lyon. A menu also available on the map that changes regularly. Harvested products from the castle garden. It’s a time out of time that I shared with a friend. I'll come back for sure! Congratulations. Vincent.

A dream place. A perfect kitchen and service. Thank you.
