Made a reservation for this place having read reviews on all the top restaurants in Blois and to be fair also only those with a space at 24 hours notice. We had a table upstairs which I would say is not as desirable as at ground level, upstairs the decor is more traditional or perhaps even a bit old-fashioned. Whilst perhaps taking the edge off the experience we were not too bothered as it is all about the food.We ate from the Orangerie set menu at €60 a head and spent about the same on wines by the glass (7) and a bottle of Evian. Although reasonably expensive the wines were nice quality but 75cl Evian for €8 is for me a bit of a liberty.The service was really good with friendly staff who a...
We were four on a 6-day Loire trip and booked lunch at this famous restaurant. The ambiance is elegant, if a bit old-fashioned. But the food had a lovely modern twist to the classic French gourmet cuisine. For instance my starter was a set of 5 small pieces of langoustine, garnished with beets, beautifully presented (and delicious). One of our party had foie gras (stunning presentation), the another had scallops, all excellent. For the mains, two of us asked if we could have something vegetarian, not because we are vegetarians, but as it was lunchtime we wanted a lighter meal. This was kindly accommodated and a perfectly cooked and presented dish of a variety of vegetables was served to us b...
Taking advantage of the Acension Day, we visited Loire Valley for the long weekend. Blois is our final stop and we wanted to treat ourselves to a nice dinner, l'orangerie du Chateau made the list. We took the simple 3-course menu, my starter being frog legs, which is one of a kind. Though the marinates could have made stronger flavors, I valued the overall presentation and its mouth feel in particular. The beef fillet, rare-cooked, is the most tendered meat I have ever had, no greasiness, simply perfect. The soufflé is a bit on the sweet side, but I could eat that everyday. Service was attentive, no long wait between dishes. The restaurant is well-staffed, we were served by 5 maybe 6 differe...
Roasted langoustines with tomatoes, but what tomatoes! Sorbet with a concentrated flavour of tomatoes set upon sliced tomatoes of different types. The rest of the meal was fantastic but the entrée was superbe. Served with professional skills and on the terrasse overlooking the rear wall of the chateau.An evening of delightful touches and flavours.

Came here with my husband & best friend for her Birthday, it was a wonderful experience. The service staff was super helpful in explaining menu items & preparation. The entrees (lobster ravioli) was amazing and desserts, cheese plate - WOW! So so good.We were sitting inside and the decor was lovely & very elegant.
We did the largest tasting menu (5 or 6 courses) Outstanding flavors and beauty in each dish. Main desserts very good. the small side desserts were so so. Traditional french with larger portions than in the US. Excellent service. When it got chilly outside they moved us promptly inside.
Visited restaurant with my beloved and it was a perfect choice. Location and atmosphere best in the city. If its possible choose a table outside. Perfect food and nice wine list. Thought I didn't like section of bread - it's either too sour, or too hard. Perfect spot for a date.
The tasting menu they offer is a real treat. Each dish is perfectly cooked and served. We also appreciated the timing between the dishes - just right. Tip: choose the option with cheese (if you love it, of course), an impressive variety and way of service.

Fab Fab Fab, rarely give 5 stars, but the food and ambience were great. As you would expect expensive, but each course was great, superbly served, and a joy to look at as well as eat.
Really enjoyed the dinner in this beautiful place. Service was attentive and food quality was excellent!
