Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant in Amboise
Pleasure for the eyes and the palate in the Loire Valley
Ideally located in the heart of the Loire castles, 2 km from the royal town of Amboise in a bucolic park overlooking the Loire, the Château de Pray offers the ideal setting for a highly gourmet trip!
Its gastronomic restaurant, which has been awarded one star in the Michelin Guide, invites you to taste subtle cuisine with flavours from here and elsewhere in an atypical setting.
Welcome to L'Orangerie
Pleasing the eyes before the taste buds
Our restaurant, on the left bank of the Loire, a stone's throw from Amboise, welcomes you from Wednesday evening to Sunday lunchtime.
This unique, partly troglodyte room, measuring 120 m² with a 4 m high ceiling, is carved out of the rock on the hillside.
Its two bay windows with large arched windows open onto the Cour d'Honneur of the Château, letting in natural daylight.
In fine weather, take advantage of our terrace facing the Loire for an aperitif, lunch or dinner.
Chef Arnaud Philippon
Come and enjoy a meal in his starred restaurant
Chef Arnaud Philippon and his brigade will take you on a gourmet voyage of discovery!
With a BTS in Hotel Management, Arnaud Philippon cut his teeth in Alsace at the 1 Michelin-starred Hôtellerie de Rosenmeer. After a diversion to Brittany, he spent 2 years in Brussels at the famous 2-Michelin-starred restaurant Comme Chez Soi, before joining Château de Pray in 2010. He assisted Frédéric Brisset before taking over from him.
Arnaud Philippon expresses all his talent through subtle and original cuisine. To match, a fine wine list that our sommelier will be delighted to show you.
Meal tray
of the Chef
During the gastronomic restaurant's closure, our Chef, Arnaud Philippon, has concocted two home-made meal tray formulas.
The "Bon P'tit plat" formula is available from May to the end of October (until All Saints' Day) and during the Christmas holidays.
The menu features refined, gourmet dishes.
The "P'tit creux" option is available the rest of the time.
It comes in the form of simple, gourmet dishes.
These meal trays* can be served in one of our lounges, on the terrace if the weather is fine, or in your room if you prefer.
