We stayed at the Chateau & booked dinner for two at La Champlain Restaurant. We ordered the seasonal prefix menu & everything was delicious. Best to be seated by the window if it's for lunch & best to be by the fireplace with the chandeliers for dinner. Great atmosphere & Jean-Pierre was an amazing waiter. Highly recommended!!!

Nous étions 14 pour une occasion spéciale. Nous avons été rencontré au préalable (mon mari & moi) afin de choisir les vins & préciser nos particularités. Nous avons été servi comme des rois & reines. Nous devions cependant faire répéter l'explication des assiettes par les serveurs parce que nous n'entendions pas bien à l'autre bout de la table. Notre cadre était parfait. La mise en bouche (foie gras) est exquise! Les plats étaient délicieux & ont plus à toutes les convives. Nous avons hâte d'y retourner.

The whole package. Dining at le Champlain had the 3 things I look for overall in a top notch restaurant; great food & great service all wrapped in an incredible & unique experience. This was not my first time dining in a castle & when compared with my time at the restaurant in Carcassonne many years ago, it has some catching up. However, in terms of my various dining experiences in other locations, it was fantastic. We had the 4 course wine pairing & it was definitely enough to make us full. From the flavour to the plating, all top notch. Our servers were friendly & attentive. The overall experience went above & beyond by offering several items not described on the menu. Ones such as a box of chocolates in which you get to keep the nice jewelry box. Finally, you're experiencing all this in a historic castle in a historic centre, surrounded by a mix of new & old world luxury.

We truly thought we would have an extraordinary experience, but I was not impressed. Our server was magnificent, but the expediers were not invested in filling our senses with a description of the food being brought to our table. For the price, the 4 of us were disappointed.

Had the Sunday brunch today & it was massive. Tables of seafoods, custom pastries, sides & beef Wellington. Everything was meticulously prepared & delicious...well worth the money.

It was a special dinner for the family & parts of it were very good. However, out of my 7 course meal only 3 were exceptional. One course was barely warm. Lobster was tough. Although the restaurant wasn't crowded, the service was uneven & long gaps at times. The cheese & caviar experience was very good. Waiters were pleasant but seemed rushed. It was an "experience " dining but not as expected & therefore somewhat disappointing.

Last evening we dined at the Chateau's gorgeous Le Champlain restaurant. A magical evening next to the windows with service extraordinaire. Our server not only a waiter but a sommelier as well, lent excellent food descriptions & in depth wine descriptions. His obvious enjoyment of his work & enthusiasm made our dining experience above & beyond expectations. The tasting menu paired with wines was worthy of destination dining.
