Hotel Chateau Du Clos De La Ribaudiere: LOVE the food
Chateau Du Clos De La Ribaudiere: petfriendly & great food
Chateau Du Clos De La Ribaudiere is in a good location, for us anyway, right near the highway on the route from Spain to Paris in Poitou. And they served some of the best food I´ve had in a long time!
The village of Chasseneuil is nothing special, though we did have rather a nice lunch at the station restaurant. When we arrived at the hotel lunch was over so we had to improvise.

We were in the annexe and this is definitely not one of those honeymoon chateaux. It was clean, spacious and nice & quiet but the decor could do with an update, or a lick of paint, or anything really. The beds are fine though, and, yay, they allow dogs!
Not in the restaurant though, which should be the main reason behind your stay. We had joked about the empty, posh dining hall when we registered, but at night we were glad we had booked a table in advance, because the place was packed. And rightly so, because they do serve some wonderful, out of the ordinary, and reasonably affordable food. (well, if you´ve had a couple of drinks anyway)
What did I have? Good question. Apart from a house champagne apperitive and a very good Crémant d´Alsace, I´m not sure. I remember fighting the urge to lick my plate, which is always a good sign! Snails, done very experimentally, maybe in a wok? Loved it.
Desserts were a dream. Something with mango. Mango creme brulee?With chocolate? I went to bed fully satisfied and determinde that I´ll be back to Chateau Du Clos De La Ribaudiere!
