La Detente Gourmande

Formidable!! Wow, what a wonderful leisurely lunch after a visit at the Chateau. We tried 4 different dishes and they were so flavourful and beautiful to look at. Our compliments to Blanche!

A charming restaurant that serves mouthwatering, home-cooked dishes crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Every bite reflects the quality and care put into the food. The service was impeccable, with staff going above and beyond to create a welcoming and seamless dining experience. Truly a memorable meal that left a lasting impression!

Friendly local farm-to-table with a small menu, that is one of the best meals in France, including Paris, etc.

Everyone was super friendly and explained the menu to us. We had an assortment of dishes - including duck, mushrooms, charcuterie, salad and the white sausage. Everything was light and delicious and tasty. Nothing too heavy. Dessert was a choice of 5 different types of tarts - we had the Apple and Rhubarb. Highly recommended!

Excellent restaurant and exceptional service. The hospitality is impeccable, inviting. The view is not as nice as those restaurants on the river but you can image the view from the street and listen to passing cars as you eat. Make sure you get here early because there are upto 30 people waiting inline. You can't imagine what you would be missing if you don't dine at this restaurant! Nothing bUT a 5 stars experience

Great little restaurant with two extremely friendly ladies running it. Very typically french setup and food. Limited menu options (7 things) but all looked great. Maybe not the place if you have dietary requirements as it may be harder to be catered for.

Very quaint little restaurant with amazing food. We came across it by accident and we were so glad we stopped there.

If U want the most amazing food, after visiting castles all day. U must go here. Everything was freshly made with seasonal vegetables & cooked to perfection. The desserts were special! Thanks for a wonderful find.

Quite amazing, doesn't look like much, but the service is impeccable, the plates delicious and inventive. Since there are very few lunch places near Chateau de Chaumont, we were surprised to find this not-so-touristy place with excellent quality and decent prices providing an all-around satisfactory experience.

This restaurant is a classic find. We were really hungry and knew that the food inside the Château de Chaumont would be mediocre and expensive, so stopped by this cute little restaurant to grab a quick meal. There's free parking on the streets and the restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating area. When the weather is warm and nice, who wouldn't want to take advantage of the wonderful outdoor seating area! The menu was in French , but the waiter explained the menu in English. We ordered a coffee and a plate of shiitake mushrooms with goat cheese. Coffee was really good. And the meal was delicious. Actually one of the most simple and best meals we've had in France. With a side of mushrooms, veggies and the shiitake mushrooms with goat cheese, we finished up the plate in no time! I highly recommend stopping here for a meal when you are planning to visit Château de Chaumont.

We had a wonderful meal outside enjoying this quaint location. The service was delightful with Lucy, our server. Blanche, the cook (we got to know them both) served up some wonderful French cuisine with great conversation. I recommend eating here!
