Chambres d'Hôtes Les Remparts

WE were passing through Castillones at lunch time and decided to look for a light lunch. We had heard about Les Ramparts and called in. We had a very French lunch with friendly service not light but just right. All in all a great find.

We visited this restaurant for lunch on Valentines day. The restaurant had a Valentines day lunch menu at 49 euros per head, so we opted for a la carte menu.
The service was very good and the little added extras ( a volute and a soup),were a nice bonus. We enjoyed Coquille St Jacques and fois gras entrees followed by Confit of Duck and steak. All very nice and if any criticism at all, it would have been my steak, which because the dish was small, could have been a nicer piece of steak! 

We were fairly full, so dispensed with desserts but finished with coffee. The restaurant was fairly busy but our service was very good and the meal enjoyable. We had a couple of pitchers of red wine ( quite nice house red) and the total bill came to 83 euros, which we felt was a little expensive but overall good quality and it was valentines day, so we guess the prices were inflated for that day ( as indeed everywhere else would have been!).

 We will definitely return again for another lunch (to try the plat du jour lunch and also try dinner there). We think Les ramparts would be good fun in the summer too, al fresco dining.

Recommended!

An impromptu lunch

We were looking for a light lunch

This has always been a place to take our holiday visitors to, to experience reasonably priced good french food. However, a trip there last week was very disappointing. The menu has been slashed to just 3 or 4 choices - with just the ONE fish dish and they were not very inspiring either. My cep and butternut squash soup was average and the beef I ordered came well done instead of a-point (sorry, no accents). The herb/spice crust was very overpowering. My 3 chocolate dessert seemed to lack 2 of the chocolates and tasted quite synthetic. Sorry, Des Remparts, but I shall have to find another restaurant to show off the culinary delights of our region.

Restaurant

Ok, the food was good but quality food should have a restaurant service to match. The service lacked class! The choice of room was unfortunately not to our liking, the very sombre decor extinguished the bright holiday and mood. The room given as a replacement was bright, cramped and was delightfully placed overlooking the outside restaurant so trying to close ones eyes before people attacked the award winning chocolate dessert was a waste of time.

Experience

This was our third stay here, the two previous ones being pre-2010. Then it was a superb hotel, with restaurant and bar. Now it is a Chambre d'hote and a shadow of its prior glory, but at the same price point. 

On a positive point, the host Danielle was pleasant. 

But...

1. Very dark room, tiny shower room and even smaller toilet.

2. The temperature of the room was extremely high. There was a small heater/fan in the room which proved virtually useless and extremely noisy. On the first morning I noticed an AC unit on the ceiling bedside an outside wall. There was no remote control for this in the room. I had to ask for this even though it should have been in the room all along. 

3. The room was not serviced ever during our week long stay. Never vacuumed or cleaned. The same piece of white thread stayed on the carpet througout. (I know I could have picked it up but it became a challenge to see whether a vacuum was ever run over the floor).

4. Bedding never changed or even the bed made up.

5. Stains on the toilet floor were there on arrival and were never cleaned.

6. The bins in the room and shower room were never emptied and were overflowing by the time we left.

7. Unfortunately, while adding a teabag to my teapot on day 2, the lid slid off the table and smashed on the floor. I apologised profusely for this. For the next 3 breakfasts I was given the same lidless teapot, until on the penultimate morning we had to request one with a lid as the water inside was cooling down quickly.

As I said previously, we had had such memorable times in this establishment previously - this visit put paid to all those memories.

BEWARE - "Excellent" review based on reviews over 7 years ago

We stayed in Castillones recently and wanted to try here, but it apparently closed some time ago. La Marechalerie is the best in the town, but about 1km out, down the road opposite the Intermarche is Le Table Paysanne. This is run by a local farmer and his wife and they currently charge 20 euros a head, for a five course meal, with seconds and unlimited wine. Highly recommended
