At the heart of the château's historic courtyard, cradled in vines and roses, Le Jardin Secret offers a creative and refined cuisine.
A sunny lunch at Château du Rivau means tasting the treasures of the kitchen garden and exploring the gems of our cellar. You can also savour edible plants from the garden that bring new and overlooked flavours to our dishes. We control the origin of our ingredients entirely, complemented by our neighbouring artisans and farmers.
With its 20 covers, the restaurant has an intimate atmosphere. The dining room offers a privileged view of the park in a setting outside of time. The medieval château's tuffeau stone is enhanced by the green setting of the gardens, visible from the restaurant. All the ingredients are there for a fairytale meal to remember.
To round off your meal, garden and château visits are free for Jardin Secret guests. Le Jardin Secret's cuisine is generous, free and adorned with flowers. It mirrors the spirit of the château: rooted and imaginative, blending tradition and fantasy. Do you know the great secret of Le Jardin Secret? It's the joy of shared pleasure.
