Les Jardins d'Epicure sur Bray-Et-Lu

Short stay One night in the golden room Pleasant room, one small drawback: no door to the bathroom, so not much privacy (toilet in the bathroom) Dinner and breakfast were fine Massage and spa treatment (1 hour each)

A truly wonderful experience! The menu at the restaurant was delicious, as was the impeccable service! We are delighted with our time spent at your establishment!

A lovely establishment, but in our opinion, a bit pricey for what it offers. There's only one person, very helpful and kind otherwise, but she manages reception, the spa, room maintenance, and breakfast, at least during the week. It lacks those little personal touches and extra upkeep that would make this stay truly unforgettable. It's a shame. The restaurant, however, is excellent.

As usual. Everything is perfect.

The setting is simply magical. Not to mention the restaurant's undeniable charm. A truly wonderful experience, starting with a couples massage (thanks again to Pascal and Marie Céline!), followed by a relaxing soak in the suite's jacuzzi (the room itself could use a refresh). And to top off the evening, a huge thank you to Curtis and his colleagues who treated us to a marvelous six-course tasting menu, perfectly blending culinary expertise and impeccable service! We finished the evening with a visit to the bar!

We took advantage of the Thursday special offer for €200, ladies. This included two six-course gourmet menus, one night in a jacuzzi suite, and two breakfasts for my birthday. I loved everything about the meal, the room, and the enormous breakfast. The staff is lovely, the decor is elegant, the castle is magnificent, and the offer is more than reasonable with excellent value for money. One small drawback: apparently, breakfast is no longer included in the 2026 offers.

A wonderful experience at this hotel, which is ideal for a romantic weekend getaway! The service is excellent and the amenities are top-notch; I highly recommend it!

A superb place! Arriving late at night for dinner, we discovered a beautifully lit garden. A warm welcome awaited us at the hotel. We enjoyed our first drink at the charmingly decorated bar, with its buttoned walls. Time to sit down to eat. Being the perfectionists we always are, we asked to change tables. A new one was immediately set up on an ultra-comfortable banquette—thank you for this thoughtful gesture! We opted for a six-course tasting menu, accompanied by a five-glass wine pairing. We specified our preferences: one of us doesn't eat seafood, and the other doesn't drink Bordeaux. First course: foie gras, served with a Coteaux du Layon from [wine producer name], vintage [vintage name]. Second course: crab for the two of us… (isn't that seafood?) accompanied by a Pessac-Léognan white from [wine producer name], vintage [vintage name] (and therefore… a Bordeaux!). The dish was changed to a house-smoked trout, unfortunately served too cold, straight from the refrigerator. I didn't ask for the wine to be changed. Third course: sea bream on a bed of leek fondue, rather bland and uninteresting, served with a Pouilly-Fuissé from an unknown producer, vintage unknown. Fourth course: undoubtedly the best: a perfectly pink duck breast, accompanied by a lovely purée and a rich, well-made jus—thank you! Served with a Côtes-du-Rhône (which one? vintage? producer?). Fifth course: a rather successful cheese plate, even if the advertised Munster wasn't really one… Served with a Bordeaux Saint-Émilion (vintage unknown, producer unknown). We then remembered that one of us doesn't drink Bordeaux: I asked for a Saumur-Champigny (vintage unknown, producer unknown). Dessert: a Bavarian cream with a few pieces of mango, well executed. In summary: Impeccable service, with great attention to detail. However, please, stop using the machines to serve the wine… It's a beautiful product, it deserves to be talked about, to be described. When you offer a wine pairing for €55 (about the price of a decent entry-level bottle), you expect a proper pairing, not just glasses placed on the table for you to get drunk on. In the end, a rather steep bill of €310 for two. Even though the setting is magical and the service attentive, we felt we got what we paid for. The intention is good, but the execution needs improvement. Thank you nonetheless for this very thoughtful experience. [EDIT] With an AI-generated response, we feel even more valued when we take the time to post a detailed opinion.

Beautiful setting, quality food and presentation, however the waiters, while friendly, are too familiar given the quality of the establishment.

Top-notch as usual! A slight dip in quality on the food front! But the place remains magnificent.
