Stunning location, idyllic setting at a table outside overlooking the valley. Our service from "Mouton" our waiter was impeccable - warm, polite, but not stuffy. Just perfect! We ate in some very serious fine-dining spots over 3 weeks, and this one took the top spot easily. Amazing value coming from the UK, exquisite dishes, beautiful presentation and can't say enough...

We spent a lot of time here over our weekend away. We went to Mange Tout for dinner, my wife had a massage (which seh loved), we went wine tasting at the country kitchen. the Mont Rochelle wine is beautiful. I also watched a bit of rugby in their cozy and comfortable bar. Excellent service all round More

+ location is really fantastic. Breathtaking view. + Kind staff - food inside basket is not really exquisite compared to other picnics in this region we enjoyed. - Rather expensive, especially because even the more expensive "gourmet basket" was hardly enough for 2 people. This picnic was mainly nice because of the location, the food in quality and quantity was... More

We visited Mont Rochelle on a whim, and managed to arrange a picnic basket by calling ahead an hour in advance. The staff were friendly and helpful, made a great suggestions for finding the perfect picnic spot on the farm. We enjoyed our picnic next to the dam under a big pine tree watching dragonflies and egrets play on the... More

Didn't stay here but went twice for lovely end-of day drinks. You don't see the sun setting but you see the colours on the mountains, the clouds forming over the mountains and the amazing gardens. There is the most peaceful herb garden and lovely terrace. it's very quiet and a perfect little getaway. Wine and MCC prices are cheap so... More

A great place to see the sun set. There is an inside and just outside (it is under cover) bar area. The staff are most welcoming even though we only have had drinks with them on two seperate holidays. It is a beautiful place. More
