The food was a very big disappointment, we had great expectations but... Cheddar cheese asparagus souffle was very bland, no cheese flavor that we could find, the accompanying lobster tail was so tough it could not be cut with the knife and was rubbery… I cannot comment on the desserts because after the entree we decided that we would not spend any more for mediocre food. At the prices they charge there should never be such bad experiences. It is very unfortunate that a restaurant who has enjoyed a fabulous reputation for its food has strayed so far from the path, it is no longer what it was.

I've had the pleasure of staying and dining at La Pinsonnière. I selected this property because of its affiliation with Relais & Châteaux. I am used to staying in luxury hotels (like Relais & Châteaux and Four Seasons) abroad and in North America. My wife and I very much enjoyed La Pinsonnière and plan to return soon. The scenery was spectacular and so was the food and wine cellar. But most of all, we were very impressed with the quality of service. We felt really welcomed.
