Dear Client,
We thank you for your post. Be assured that all the comments we receive are read and shared with all our staff. The feedback we get helps us to understand our clients' requests better.
We are glad to read that you came back to the Château de Marçay almost 20 years after your first visit, and that you found the site as impressive as then. We work hard at preserving our heritage, and feel grateful that our efforts are appreciated.

We are however surprised that you found our cuisine was trying to be artistic rather than tasty and generous. Our intention is not at all to offer nouvelle cuisine, but to work with fresh and mostly local products to serve French cuisine, in a way which has inevitably changed in 20 years. No need to say that our Chef has changed since then! Most our clients find our cuisine quite traditional, and appreciate the fine balance found in their plate between taste, portions and presentation (which is very important in a grastronomical restaurant).
Our Easter menu presented 2 formulas : the 1st one at 65€ for the amuse-bouches, entrée, fish or meat course, cheese, pre-dessert, dessert and a selection of small indulgences to finish off. In the 2nd formula at 80€ one course was added, hence 2 main courses, fish and meat. Dining in a Château should indeed be a very special experience, out of which one should walk out feeling satisfied and satiated. The length of our Easter menu seemed to accomplish that for almost all our clients. We are very sorry it didn't for you.

As for the old guard you mentioned, he must now be happily retired! It is true that our staff are younger than they used to be, as the industry has evolved, and tranings in the hospitality industry are now offered to young people much more than they used to be. We feel it is our responsability to train those who will make our Château keep welcoming guests from all over the world such as yourself.

We are thrilled to read the rest of your stay was fabulous. We thank you again for your comments and hope to see you again at the Château de Marçay.

Dear client,
We would like to thank you for your warm post and we hope that you will come back to visit us a next time!
Best regards
