Le Relais du Morvan sur Chateau-Chinon (Ville)

I made a reservation at lunchtime for dinner at 8:00 PM. We arrived at 7:55 PM. The menu finally arrived at 8:25 PM, and we were able to order at 8:35 PM. We'd already been there for 40 minutes before even ordering… To pass the time, we ordered a Côtes-du-Rhône. We thought it would help us forget the wait. 😅 Meanwhile, some tables were leaving, while others seemed to be praying for their dessert. 8:56 PM: still nothing. 9:00 PM: my wife was finally served. After more than an hour's wait, my beef fillet arrived. The manager then came to introduce herself and apologize for the wait. Unfortunately, at this point, the damage was done: I simply didn't want to prolong the evening, and we declined the offer of dessert. It's a shame, because the meal itself was good, apart from the carafe of wine—but with that kind of wine, you never really know what you're going to get. The restaurant is well located and nicely decorated. The setting is truly pleasant. It's the service that falls short. I also want to point out that both the owner and the waiter came to apologize. The owner even offered us two glasses of champagne, both for my birthday and to apologize for the wait. It was very kind, and we appreciated the gesture. But unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make up for the overall experience. I feel it might be time for this restaurant to reinvent itself: a different concept, a refreshed menu, and above all, a reorganization of the dining room and kitchen that allows diners to rediscover the pleasure of going to a restaurant. Two days in Château-Chinon, two disappointing dining experiences. What a shame.

Fantastic restaurant. We ate like kings. Contrary to what some reviews say, the portions are quite generous, and it's perfectly reasonable to ask to share a starter or dessert. The owner, a rather elderly and very energetic woman, is very friendly. She takes the time to chat with her customers at the end of their meal.

Excellent food, excellent service, the beef fillet was to die for, I'll definitely be back, 5 stars

What a wonderful surprise! A very extensive local menu, excellent dishes made with fresh ingredients and exquisitely prepared – kudos to the chef! The service is efficient and friendly. A real treat that's well worth the trip!

The food was very good and the service excellent, I recommend it.

This is a place you absolutely must try; we received a very warm welcome. The food is homemade by the owner, who is very kind and accommodating. You can order one starter to share between two people. There were seven of us. The omelet was perfect, as was the gizzard salad. The steak tartare was very good, as was the andouillette sausage. The beef was incredibly tender. This isn't frozen food like some restaurants do... In short, come and discover this excellent restaurant.

Excellent place! Traditional, old-fashioned cuisine.

A break at your establishment allowed us, mother and daughter, to enjoy an excellent lunch, savoring the dishes we were craving. Everything was delicious and very generous. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

The food was excellent, the owner and the waiter were kind and attentive, the welcome was warm, nothing to complain about.

The welcome, service, and quality of the meal were exceptional. I thank the owners and the waiter. I highly recommend either the lunch menu or the à la carte menu.
