Chateau d'Artigny - Restaurant l'Origan

Cadre exceptionnel pour ce restaurant qui se revendique de la tradition française (le menu, le service,...), mais qui sait rester raisonnable au niveau des prix pratiqués (nous étions 7 dans le cadre d'un anniversaire et l'addition ne nous a pas fait tourner de l'oeil). Du coup, sans être d'un niveau à la hauteur du cadre du château (terrasse fabuleuse, parc somptueux, salle impressionnante) la cuisine est cependant appréciée à sa juste valeur.Étant voisins, nous reviendrons avec plaisir, notamment pour découvrir les réputés brunchs du dimanche !

En plus du chef ,mention spéciale pour le sommelier qui nous fait découvrir en partie les vins de la Région . Un régal .

Nous avons l'habitude de dîner dans ce style d'établissement. Le cadre de cet établissement est exceptionnel, l'apéritif sur la terrasse avec une très belle vue sur la vallée de l'Indre est très appréciable. Nous avons été très déçu de la qualité de notre repas. Un menu dégustation à 79 €uros qui ne mérite pas ce prix. Une serveuse qui ne nous a décroché aucunes paroles, ni sourire de tout le repas. Un foie gras poêlé servi froid, une entrée pas digne de ce restaurant. Je tiens à remercier le sommelier qui a été parfait dans son attitude. Je ne cherche pas être méchant, je suis un ancien restaurateur et suis tout à fait conscient que les erreurs peuvent arriver.

Magnifique hotel, gréât location, but restaurant Was a huge disappointment. I LOVÉ foie gras , ordered It, And could not eat It. Bland And very expensive.for what We ordered. We spent two lovly nights at the hotel. But enjouée our mal at the Burger Bar in Town much better! One of best burgers in France!

We arrived for dinner at this restaurant as we were staying in the Chateau itself. We were given a table by the window and were given our menus. We didn't care for any of the starters and so ordered a main course each. We found the menu to be restrictive and very expensive. We were given two amuse bouche, which was a nice touch, while we waited for the main courses we had ordered.It was then that things went rather wrong!Having finished our main courses, we asked for the desert menu, and nothing happened for a long time. My husband then asked for the menu again, and was told that they were trying to find one in English! Strangely, we were not offered one in French, although we speak French rather well, nor were we offered a verbal translation which would have been very simple. Eventually we gave up, and asked for the bill. We had to ask for this twice. By now we were losing the will to live, as it had taken nearly an hour and a half to eat one course!! Honestly...Life's too short for these sort of shenanigans!!The manager grumpily eventually brought us our bill, which we paid and left hastily as his manner was extremely off-putting, as thought it were US that were at fault. Actually on reflection, certain members of the waiting staff could do with a lesson in customer service, and a hefty dose of humility too. They are there for us, the guests....not the other way round!Conclusion: This is an over rated and expensive restaurant, and again if they are charging these prices, they should deliver a flawless restaurant experience...which they didn't.In our case they failed miserably.
