Le Chateau Des Arenes - Gières

Lunch of noon nickeljust a little pity that the vaute room resonates a little too much (good, two groups of don't help in peace either) and that the card hasn't been up to date for desserts (the advertised fishing dessert is no longer served because more season, ben in October, it's been a long time since it's finished not

This excellent restaurant is a little way out of Grenoble, in the suburb of Gières. Hidden away up a narrow side street, it is in the lower ground vaulted rooms of a B&B manor house. Décor is a somewhat stark white throughout, but broken up by sound deadening panels hung with pictures – which is probably very practical because the vaulted ceiling would otherwise make for a noisy environment when the restaurant is really busy.But it’s the food which marks it out. The four of us all opted for the very good value ‘menu du jour’ which we found excellent. The starter was a ‘vol au vent’ with prawns, and mini scallops in a mushroom sauce. The main course was duck leg with a forestière sauce (mushroom) and a vegetable medley. Dessert was a delicious cheesecake, not too thick, but therefore not too sickly either. The whole was bookended by optional champagne coupes and coffees. As I did not pay the bill, I can’t say what the overall cost was, but it would have been modest for the quality of meal we had. I would return.

A night spent in the walls of the 18th and the care that was brought to him. A charming establishment. the rooms are arranged with a lot of taste. the room does not lack space with the comfort of the 21st. Breakfast is one. thanks for this moment at home where the luxury of simplicity also reigns. rosemonde

Frame and build very pretty. Unfortunately the kitchen lacks finesse and is not at the price. I expected better.
