Booking through the internet the day before was quick and straightforward. We were perhaps lucky to get a table since the dining room filled up whilst we were there. We had hoped for a traditional Sunday lunch, which is becoming something of a rarity in the Centre region, and were not disappointed. The hotel is not particularly atmospheric but the dining room is light and airy and the sounds of happy customers and the clink of cutlery on plates created a good ambience. English customers, who prefer what they know, may find the menus a little restrictive. But there should be something for everyone. We chose the menu at 27 euros and considered it good value. We started with a mikado of freshly...
I realise La Chatre is small, so limited restaurants, but that this is classified as #1 is strange. Food was OK, but definitely not worth the price. There are better choices in the region, so I would recommend searching a bit as I doubt Tripadvisor will allow me to site them in this review. The assiette berrichone , a local dish, was overbearing with liver. Rillettes de saumon OK, but not exceptional. The oysters were acceptable.

We have passed this hotel many times and seen the restaurant has been busy, so when we were invited by our French friends who were staying at the hotel to come for a meal we accepted. We had great starters my wife had a mixed salad and I had the eggs in red wine sauce (which came with a spoon) I take it was so no sauce was wasted. My wife had the carbonara which did lack a bit sat but you can always add and not take away as everyone has different tastes, I had the black hen dish which was very tasty and plated very nicely with the vegetables. The deserts were nice and flavoursome. All in all a great experience and we can now say we have eaten in the hotel we pass when in France.
This restaurant is part of an Hotel. My menu meal started with a terrine which was pretty bad. The main course of cod was fine with tasty vegetables. Good cheese plate dessert. The bread was stale, the service episodic and the wine forgettable. Kids friendly.
I may honestly claim this is my second home in the world. Nice setting, excellent service and great french cook. Near by they have a great Wine Cellar.
