La Table des Fées
The eco-friendly restaurant, on the terrace facing the kitchen garden
La Table des Fées
The chic shaded terrace is the ideal place to lunch to the sound of birds, surrounded by aromatic plants, under wide parasols sheltered from the heat. La Table des Fées invites you to disconnect for a family or romantic lunch.
La Table des Fées is rooted in its territory. We grow our vegetables with care at the Rivau farm. We work with local winemakers and offer our own selection of Chinon wines. We also source from neighbouring farmers to bring our guests simple, fresh and healthy products with fully traceable origins. This is part of our sustainability commitment — and a way to support our farming neighbours and keep our territory alive.
Chef Antoine Lopez authors the menus at both Le Jardin Secret, our gastronomic restaurant, and La Table des Fées, our eco-friendly lunch venue. In its more relaxed version, La Table des Fées is as much about the setting — facing the Gargantua kitchen garden in the shade of pomegranate and persimmon trees — as the dishes.
