Les meilleurs restaurants en Ginestas

26/07/2026: Excellent food, prepared fresh on the spot. Very warm welcome. I highly recommend it.

17/07/2026: In the heart of the village of Ginestas, a friendly, family-run restaurant. A good drinks list (local wines, beers, etc.) and an appealing menu. The service is impeccable and attentive. Highly recommended!

24/07/2026: We just had our wedding here in mid July and it was perfect! The Chateau is a spectacular backdrop to a whole weekend of celebrations. If you’re looking for someplace private and beautiful for your wedding, with lots of charm, this is the place. If the Chateau itself doesn’t sell you, the family that owns and runs it should. Luke and Lily are phenomenal, Sasha is amazing with the flowers, and Tim is always greeting us with a smile and happy to share some building history. They run the place so well and are the perfect level of helpful, while providing advice and suggestions but also allowing us to make all decisions that we wanted and having our own ideas. All preparations and planning done ahead of time by Luke and Lily made the weekend easy and exactly what we wanted. The flowers, food, decor, accommodation, and chateau itself are lovely. Every staff member we encountered over the stay was incredibly friendly, helpful, and fantastic, as well. We don’t have enough wonderful things to say about this beautiful place. If we had to do this all over again, we wouldn’t change any of it, and our guests agreed! Thank you so much!

20/07/2026: I found the venue through a website that listed chateaus in France. Without knowing the town or even having been to France before, my husband and I took a chance on the charming Chateau du Puits Es Pratx. We were in constant communication with Luke before making the decision, and he answered our many many questions. Luke was very transparent about all the wedding planning details and even gave us a virtual tour. To our surprise, the Chateau was already fully booked for almost two years! In August 2024 we booked our May 2026 wedding date. Since then, Luke handed the planning to Lily. Lily gave us an initial timeline of what needed to be decided on, as well as a cost sheet so we could keep track of our budget. She kept in contact with us throughout our engagement, but it wasn't until January 2026 when we were full steam ahead on planning. The following four months were crazy (as expected with any wedding) but always organized and full of transparency. Lily humored all my unconventional requests and responded to every thought and e-mail. The peak of our planning happened alongside Lily having a baby, and she absolutely did not miss a beat. Unlike a lot of newly engaged couples, we did not physically see the venue or taste the menus before arriving for our wedding weekend(we're based in New Orleans). BUT, when we did arrive the Thursday before our wedding, I was in awe. Ginestas is about a 20 minute drive from Narbonne with no traffic. The drive itself was beautiful with vineyards and poppies lining the road. We were warned beforehand that transportation would be somewhat difficult and/or expensive to and from Narbonne. Luckily, Luke and Lily helped us prearrange transportation for the entire weekend for all 55 of our guests. The grounds itself felt like a movie set; so charming and well manicured. Pictures do not do it justice at all. All of our guests felt the same upon arrival. Also, when each of our guests arrived, Luke and chateau staff were so kind and organized to check everyone in. A lot of the rooms were redone recently so it was nice and updated. The wedding suite was nice and comfortable. The food. The food needs it's own separate review, honestly. Though I didn't get to eat a lot, as most brides regret, the food I did have was AMAZING. I was told constantly by our guests that the food was excellent. This was one of the things we were worried about since we weren't visiting before our wedding. We read previous reviews that raved about the food, but we were still a little doubtful. We were also worried about the quantity and serving sizes. As Americans, we definitely love our big servings. As New Orleanians, we have high standards for food. I also had family from the Philippines, and Filipinos can eat. The chateau definitely satisfied EVERYONE. From my husband's giant, multi-serving friends to my food editor cousin and my food appreciating aunts, to my shellfish allergic guests. Every one of our guests loved the food. I can't say anything about the shoulder meals but we did have breakfast everyday and it was great. There are only 2 restaurants in the nearby town, so I would recommend getting the extra meals. Also, get the duck. The Chateau really functioned like a well-oiled machine. It was really organized and you can tell they specialize in weddings. Luke and Lily both acted as our day of coordinators and they really helped with the flow of the day. The staff were also so nice, welcoming and professional. We especially liked Laurent, the groundskeeper. He was so friendly and he put my nerves at ease when we thought it might rain. My favorite thing about our wedding were the flowers. I sent Lily very specific flowers and inspiration images that weren't in their repertoire at the time, and I was a little nervous about the execution. Sasha outdid herself. We got so many compliments about the flower arrangements and they really nailed the vision. I'm positive I'm forgetting something, but I can't speak highly enough of Chateau du Puits Es Pratx as a wedding venue and in general. I would love to visit again!
