Château de Mercuès Dining Guide

The restaurant is La Table de Mercuès. Michelin: Clément Costes, one tasting menu in the old stone, courtyard terrace in fair weather, bistronomy at lunch. Hours: dinner Tuesday–Sunday from 19:15, lunch Saturday–Sunday; Monday closed. The nav also lists La Table du Chef, Le Festin du Château and Le Goûter des Gourmets. Some older notes still name Le Duèze as Michelin-starred under Julien Poisot. Older press dates Poisot’s star to 2017; Pearl and Trip.com guests say the starred chef has left. Confirm the live Guide and the live name on the menu. Estate Malbec in the rock cellar. Meals extra. Breakfast is a paid buffet 7:30–10:30 on Trip.com.
