Le Madrigal: "Casual Fine Dining" Chartres Restaurant Tip by AimeeQ

This is the casual dining option in Le Grand Monarque hotel. They have an extensive drinks and cocktail menu and the small, old fashioned bar is a lovely place to have a drink. When the weather is warm they have seating out in front of the hotel, with a view of the large modern fountain in the Place. The menu is made up of well prepared typical brasserie food at a moderate (but not cheap) price. This restaurant is open for dinner on Sundays.

Favorite Dish: Our group had fresh oysters, fish, chicken breast in an olive tapenade sauce with mashed potatoes and a steak frites, and everyone was happy. The dessert of chocolate mousse with bits of orange peel stole the show.
