Du Chateau De Fere - Fère-en-Tardenois

The dining room is elegant, with paintings and text from fables of a well known local writer. And the views out the window, or on the terrace, are unique: ruins of a castle, a Renaissance bridge, and lush vegetation. The food matches the setting creative and delicious.

PERFECT service, amazing dishes, (huge wine list! in a living room decorated with taste with a view on country side fields and a 19th century ruined castle. Highly recommend the foie gras.

We ate a la carte in the restaurant. We were offered to take an aperitif in the lounge, the basically abandoned. Despite ordering the main course and dessert, no wine list arrived and only an order for water was taken, which was never presented. Then we were rushed into the dining room to take our main course, without wine being proposed or water brought. Had to wait another 15mn for both. Food cold by this stage. Dessert was then rushed out, without cheese being offered. No coordination or communication amongst staff. Given the very elevated price tag, we really expected more.

Avoid at all cost. We paid over 150€ for 2 main courses 1 desert and half bottle of vine which btw was the only positive. My maine course (minestrone) was so small that it took me 1 min to eat it and tasted like canned soup but was priced over 40€. My partner had magret and it was ok but also not worth 45€. I have no idea how they can justify charging top prices for such a bad food. After the meal we complained at the reception but apart from apologising they didn't do anything. It was the worst spent 150€ in my life and I think they rely on the fact that the hotel is in the middle of the forest and there is no other place to eat.

This food at this amazing château with the most amazing rooms to stay is completely incredible it’s Michelin star quality all the way stunning so good we came back from our honeymoon to spend a few more days here 11 out of 10
