Sur le Lac sur Chalette-Sur-Loing

This restaurant serving "exotic" cuisine is located right on the shores of Lake Chalette. At the entrance, you're greeted by the waitresses. At the far end, a huge glass wall reveals the lake and its trees with their yellowing leaves. It's autumn, and yesterday was my birthday. We were then shown to our table. The view is breathtaking; we took the opportunity to observe the flora and fauna of the Gâtinais region. The dishes are surprising blends of local tradition and exotic flavors, delicious, with delicate tastes of fruits and spices unfamiliar to us. The only downside is that the staff lacks discretion, making it difficult to hear each other, as conversations from neighboring tables can be disruptive. That's the only drawback! Overall, it's a unique experience and an interesting encounter; a visit is a must, and I highly recommend it.

Dinner with friends (6 of us) as part of Gastronomy Month. The menu was comprehensive, and the ingredients were fresh and well-prepared. The foie gras dishes lacked seasoning, and the foie gras nuggets were a surprise. The roast beef was perfect, and the trio of vegetables—pepper, sweet potato, and gratin—wasn't too surprising. The cheese was disappointing as it melted on the plate. The chocolate dessert was classic but indulgent, and the mandarin-lemon sorbet was a delight. For the wine, we were offered one bottle for every two people to choose from, and there were six of us. The red wine could be better, and the white wine was mediocre. We were allowed to take the third bottle home, which was kind of us. Unfortunately, the bread was overcooked, and the coffee was served with a whisky truffle; I couldn't identify the whisky flavor. In the end, for €69, we felt the menu didn't live up to our expectations. The young women serving were particularly pleasant and helpful 💕 and the setting could have benefited from some outdoor lighting, which would have added a real wow factor to the atmosphere. Thank you nonetheless for the work of the teams; this feedback is honest and genuine, intended to help improve future service. I took a photo of another table to illustrate my point about the exterior.

Excellent food and very friendly service

Very good food !! Must try le foie gras !!

Excellent, I would even say more than excellent

Every year we eagerly await the month of gastronomy in Montargis and we have lunch at several different restaurants. This October 8th, we chose a restaurant we had never been to before: "Le Restaurant sur le Lac" (The Restaurant on the Lake). We were a little hesitant because its rating wasn't the best. And yet: what a very pleasant surprise! We were given a table right by the bay window, overlooking the lake, and therefore with a most enjoyable view. We were welcomed by a very attentive and professional team, even though some of them were apprentices in a vocational training program. Despite their palpable apprehension, their priority was to provide the best possible service. The meal was excellent from start to finish, combining flavors, perfect cooking, and generous portions. All the dishes were homemade and beautifully prepared. We often favor establishments bearing the "Maître Restaurateur" designation, and for "Le Restaurant sur le Lac," there's no question: the chef more than lives up to the promise. If, like us, you're hesitant to try this restaurant, then step inside and you won't be disappointed. Chantal and Hervé

We stumbled upon this place by chance, and as we often say, sometimes things just fall into place. The young and skilled staff are very attentive, which is a pleasure. The food is beautiful and delicious, and the view of the lake is magnificent.

Sylvie and Alain. Wednesday, September 16th. To celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary. First, the view of the lake! Then the service, the sommelier's apprentice, so dedicated! Then the meal… so delicious that we exchanged half of it after the appetizers! Flavor, tasting, taking our time. Attentive service. At dessert, two candles. What more can we say after two hours of pure pleasure? To finish, a meeting with the chef.
