The story

Ô Dissay – Modern Cuisine in a 15th-Century Château near Poitiers

A Historic Setting for Modern Cuisine

Ô Dissay is the gastronomic restaurant of Château de Dissay, a 15th-century classified historic monument set in the Poitevin countryside near Poitiers. Dining here means choosing between the intimate dining room inside the château, the terrace overlooking the Cour d'honneur, or a table in the park. The atmosphere marries centuries-old stone and contemporary elegance – a backdrop that Michelin recognised with a Recommended distinction in 2026.

Cuisine of Land and Sea

The kitchen focuses on modern cuisine built around the interplay of land and sea – "terre et mer" – with subtle, refined flavours. The restaurant offers several menus to suit different occasions: a Gastronomic menu served Wednesday through Sunday evening and Saturday and Sunday lunch; a Bistronomic menu available Monday to Friday lunch and Monday and Tuesday evening; and the Menu du Clain, offered at lunch on Monday, Tuesday, and midday Wednesday through Friday. Each changes with the seasons, drawing on fresh, market-driven ingredients.

Seasonal Celebrations

Special menus mark the calendar. The Easter 2026 menu, for example, features a brioche-style pâté de Pâques with seasonal herbs, line-caught sea bass with green asparagus and morel sauce in vin jaune, roasted saddle of lamb with wild garlic and first peas, and a strawberry dessert with meringue, pink berry, and tarragon. The New Year's Eve menu includes foie gras marbled with cocoa, scallop carpaccio with butternut and yuzu, confit cod with seaweed stuffing and shellfish, and roast capon with truffle and chestnut cream.

Michelin Recognition

The Michelin guide's Recommended award highlights Ô Dissay as a destination for those seeking refined modern cuisine in an exceptional setting. The restaurant is open to non-hotel guests, making it accessible for a memorable meal whether you are staying at the château or visiting from the surrounding region.
