Chateau De La Rapee Restaurant

Fantastic food and friendly and efficient service. An absolute must for visitors wanting an easy reach of Monet's garden in Giverny

This was one of the best meals we have enjoyed in France. The food was wonderful and the service, both from the waiter and the waitress, was top class. Magnificent. We have booked to eat here again.

We last went to this hotel in 37 years ago and I was curious to see it again. We were taking a long weekend in France and had one night available. It was almost exactly as I remembered it, although possibly a little more frayed around the edges, which is always a little distressing. It must be an expensive hotel to maintain. We had excellent dinner there and the usual wonderful breakfast, and the owners were charming and welcoming.

We remembered eating well here in the 1980s and if anything we ate better this month in 2015. superb duck; well-priced Domaine de Chevalier 2005 (?) and a house champagne that got us searching Epernay the next day for the makers.

We loved the mystery of the alleys in the wood, the atmosphere but it is also a restaurant! We had a wonderful table for 2 overlooking nothing much but really enjoyable. We were there for lunch and we had the duck with apricots, it is what you call a very expensive light lunch, desert is too pricey too. Go for the atmosphere but not hungry! Service: they are young and willing but they lack what it takes: common sense in serving. One of them dropped the bread in my husband's sauce but instead of changing it , she puts it in the plate???the reason was she was not standing at the right place!!! If you charge a lot you should provide this kind of service!
