Le Castel Damandre

Le Castel, a gourmet restaurant in Les Planches near Arbois, has been awarded the Table distinction by the "Logis d'exception" guide. Every day, the chef and his team offer a cuisine based on fresh seasonal produce, as much of it organic and local as possible. Home-made" is the order of the day.

The restaurant is elegantly decorated, with beautiful white tablecloths, chic crockery and bunches of flowers. When the weather is fine, you can enjoy lunch or dinner on the shady terrace alongside La Cuisance, a charming river that adds a bucolic touch to your meal. You'll be in an idyllic setting, right down to your plate. Thanks to Pascal Mathieu, your eyes will delight just as much as your taste buds. The chef takes particular care with the presentation of his dishes, making them as beautiful as they are delicious.

The cuisine is both creative and traditional, so you can sample some excellent Jura specialities such as poularde de Bresse au vin jaune et aux Morilles, which has been a house tradition for over 35 years, improved over time as the cuisine has evolved.
The wines are chosen with care, and the chef will be delighted to recommend those that will enhance your dishes. The wine list offers a fine selection of wines, some of which are premier grands crus classés, as well as organic, biodynamic and natural wines.
