This handsome little 17C château and charming 15C manor house are set in grounds on the banks of the River Loir. The restaurant has an elegant interior refurbished in a contemporary style, in a palette of light tones, and a pleasant terrace overlooking the valley. Italian chef Attilio Marrazzo chooses quality ingredients – including produce grown in his own vegetable garden – for his modern cuisine. His dishes (free-range poultry, fricassee of chanterelles with parsley, Caesar-style salad) show a good command of culinary techniques, and can be washed down with a wine from a list that focuses on regional tipples.
