La Grande Monarque - Étampes

Friday 14 July 2017 in a stretch, we had booked 5 places at the restaurant "the island" in the leisure base with terrace overlooking the lake to dine and then watch the fireworks on the water.Arrived on site, we preferred to leave (see the reasons in the opinion about this restaurant). We decided to dine in the city (not very far by foot) and threw our devotee on the restaurant "the great monarch" (Moroccan specialities) that we already knew and that never disappointed us. Tajines are excellent and very affordable. Moreover, the staff is extremely kind. An address to be recommended.

Le Grand Monarque was a lovely hotel (with a Michelin starred restaurant), abutting the upper part of the old town.

I have stayed many times at The Grand Monarque when travelling to Chartres with work and often I end up just eating at their brasserie.

Always perfect kitchen, well-stocked, family. Never a bad surprise. good value quality price. excellent service. exceptional pastries.

The meals are good there is nothing to say the top, but some that we come to eat in groups the servers are quickly lost...wrapped and execrable....so not professional...I do not recommend for a family meal but more for a small committee meal.
