Haute Dining | Fine Dining - LES CHÊNES Restaurant

Situated amid five hectares of forest and parkland in an outstandingly beautiful area of the Months d’Ambazac; Les Chênes offers a unique dining experience which is more private dining than busy restaurant.

Open for lunch and dinner Les Chênes caters for a small number of diners strictly by advanced reservation only. All meals are prepared and cooked in the kitchen for the number of diners who have booked.

Visiting Les Chênes gives the feeling of entering a home for a private party. It is, in fact, the home of chef/patron, Chef Mike. The interior décor is often described as quirky and very English; there are many artifacts displayed that have been collected over the years as has the small collection of contemporary art and the family portraits on the walls.

DINING AT LES CHÊNES

Les Chênes offers just one menu ‘Menu Dégustation’ which changes daily depending on the fresh produce available. The ‘Menu Dégustation’ consists of five courses with limited choice, offering a balance of plant based, fish or seafood and meat dishes.
The cuisine is set in French tradition but with a fusion of techniques and flavors ranging from North Africa to Asia.

We regret we’re unable to accept same day reservations. Please be sure to reserve your table as many days in advance as possible.

There is a list of some thirty domain bottled wines, selected and purchased exclusively from French vinicultures.

Guests are invited to relax, enjoy the ambiance and take an aperitif (with which we serve a small selection of delicious canapés) sitting by the open log fire or on the covered garden terrace.
Please allow between two and three hours for your visit and be sure to tell of any allergies or special requirements well in advance.

SUSTAINABILITY AND THE ENVIRONMENT

During the long covid lockdowns of 2020/21 Les Chênes started a horticultural project which has been very successful and satisfying. It’s planned to expand this project, growing more unusual vegetables, salad greens and, importantly, herbs.

Whenever possible Les Chênes purchases fresh local produce, particularly in regard to meat, from quality grass fed animals raised in the open air from French farmers who respect the wellbeing of their animals.

In the kitchen every effort is made to minimize wastage through recycling where possible, composting vegetable waste for the garden project and reducing the carbon footprint.
