Relais & Châteaux has close to 100 restaurants “only” without guest accommodations so that the gastronomical profession can take centre stage. Creators of emotions and artisans of flavour, the chefs of these restaurants are committed to Relais & Châteaux’s commitment to taste: products selected from local producers and respect for biodiversity and the seasons.
The aim of Relais & Châteaux restaurants is to create an extraordinary experience by creating lasting gastronomic memories for its guests. Creating the experience begins with the restaurant’s setting, which enhances the chef’s world of flavours. Then comes the experience of sharing with the restaurant’s staff in the dining room, who with their confident and precise manner, elegantly reveal the chef’s culinary identity. From this common endeavour is born a unique occasion for everyone to enjoy incredible flavours, a signature style and vision.
