There was a wedding to attend in the French countryside in a chateau. It doesn't get too much more exciting for an Australian location wedding than that. Close to the small town of Fougeres, Chateau du Bois Guy is a beautifully set venue with a vast expanse of grass, animals (including a very very large rooster), a cadillac, and some art pieces adorning the front lawn.
The food is set menu and it seemed appropriate to have some nice meals there rather than drive away each time.
There was minimal explanation of the food by wait staff sadly.
The first dinner (€35) comprised of a fish tartare (cod I think) with mayonnaise and crisp grains, a delicious tender roasted chicken leg with vegetables, and a excessive all white chocolate and pastry extravaganza. The highlight for me was probably the stick fingers of beautifully crisp, soft, seasoned fried bread that was served warm.
The dinner served during the wedding did up the ante slightly with lovely raw salmon, a main of beef filet (unfortunately mine was one of the end pieces so smaller and much more medium than the rare I like; although a thought for the person who received the well done part) with some exceptional cherry tomatoes and crunchy peas, and a chocolate crispy dessert with more white chocolate.
Breakfast (€15) was a wide selection of multiple cereals (including muesli and granola), yoghurts, croissants, lots of conserves, and baguettes with cheese and cured meat and soft boiled eggs.
