5b : La Table de Chapaize in Chapaize

La Table de Chapaize

The rather prestigious restaurant "La Table de Chapaize" has changed owners as per 1 July 2013. The name however was not changed, but the prices seem a bit more modest than those on the menu of the previous owner. Also the set-up of the menu is slightly different. However, this does not make the choice of dishes much bigger. For comparison : both, the old and the new menu are attached to this blog.
Since we have not eaten here yet, and have no intention to do so on short term, I quote from a previous blog I wrote about this restaurant. Even though this was written based on experiences of others with the previous chef, it is for the moment the best I can come up with....

No, each time it was the limited choice that scared us off. The menu mentions one starter, two main dishes (always one fish and one meat dish) and a variety of desserts. Desserts are not really something we are interested in, one of us is allergic for fish and shell fish, hence if there is lobster in the starter one person bottles out. The other party is relatively content with standard food. Give him a good piece of steak and he is a happy little fellow. Fowl and lamb are only an option if there is no beef or fish (in that order) on the menu. And that is the reason that we have never managed to indulge in what everybody assures us is an outstanding high class culinary experience. Hence we have to go by what we have heard about the place. And that is 100 % positive. Everyone who has ever eaten there is raving on about the quality, the presentation of the food and the service.
