The story
Mémoire, the restaurant of Château de La Borde, sits in the quiet Sologne countryside near Romorantin-Lanthenay. The dining experience here is built on a simple idea: serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner as you would for friends after a long day outdoors. The atmosphere is refined but deliberately relaxed – a place where the elegance of the château does not come with stiffness.
The kitchen focuses on modern cuisine that pairs simplicity of ingredients with exacting execution. Nothing is overstated; the goal is perfection in every plate, without unnecessary flourishes. The menu changes regularly, offering a choice of three courses (formule) alongside a “Petits Plaisirs” carte for lighter meals. The result is a style that feels both contemporary and grounded, rooted in the Sologne landscape.
Mémoire earned a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a recognition that aligns with the restaurant’s commitment to honest, well-made food in a setting that feels both special and unpretentious. Whether you come for a long lunch after a walk through the forest or a quiet dinner by candlelight, the experience stays true to the château’s motto: l’art de recevoir – the art of welcoming.
