This restaurant offers excellent food in an unusual and beautiful setting, on the grounds of the chateau de Nieuil.
The 60 euros menu is great value and the food is sourced locally where possible, includes canapes and a welcome drink, 4 courses including the cheese trolley and wine, coffee and chocolates.
It's a 45 mins drive to reach the restaurant but well worth the journey.

Some 45 mins drive away from the barn but a great place to eat at if you are on your way to or From Bordeaux or decided to go and visit the beautiful village of verteuil. They have a lunch 4 course meal with wine included for 23 Euros and the food is delicious. The cheese trolley is very impressive too. Worth a visit

Things to do
This monkey park is quite unique as most of the monkey roam free around and above you as you walk through the park. A fun half a day or more is to be had with the whole family. I would also recommend the park to adults only. Located 5 mins drive away or 35 mins walk through the field.

This little town of less than 3000 inhabitants has all the necessary shops, bakeries and supermarkets for your groceries shopping.
