Discover the world-renowned refinement of French gastronomy
In French culture, the art of cooking and dining together holds great importance. Here, exceptional gastronomy is approached with care and time. Both on the estate and beyond, you can immerse yourself in this experience and taste the flavors of the region.

"À table, on ne vieillit pas."

Breakfast

For many of our guests, breakfast is the highlight of their stay at Manoir de Plaisance. Not a standard hotel buffet, but a carefully served selection of fresh products from an extensive menu. A breakfast that reflects the grandeur of the Manoir, allowing you to experience the elegance of a bygone aristocratic era, when service was a true craft. Breakfast is always included in the displayed room rate, ensuring a stay without unexpected extras.

Breakfast Menu

A fixed selection is complemented by à la carte extras of your choice. The standard breakfast includes fresh bread, sweet spreads, cold cuts, a selection of cheeses, and fresh fruit. The extras consist of a variety of hot and cold beverages, eggs, and yogurt, all included in the room rate.

Indoors or Outdoors

You may choose to enjoy your breakfast indoors or outdoors. Indoors, you are seated at the long dining table, surrounded by a soothing atmosphere of times past. Outdoors, you can savour the tranquillity and the enchanting French morning light at French bistro tables.

Refined Brunch

You may choose for a luxurious brunch, always enjoyed privately with your travel companions. For €15 per person, in addition to all the fresh breakfast treats, you will enjoy strawberries, avocado, a poached egg on toast, and a glass of champagne or a mimosa.

Light fare

For those who enjoy extending the day in complete relaxation, we offer a refined selection of light fare and bites to be enjoyed together. From simple small snacks and ice creams to generous sharing boards and meal soups, all featuring carefully selected products that perfectly reflect the character of the Manoir. A tasteful addition to a leisurely afternoon or early evening. Please note: Since the takeover by the new owner in 2024, the four-day table d’hôtes is no longer part of our offerings.

Homemade soup

Although dinner is not served every evening at the Manoir, you may choose, on the day of arrival, a homemade soup with bread and a selection of cheeses. After what might have been a long day of travel, you can remain on the estate and enjoy a fresh meal for €10 pp.

Snacks

For a light appetite, a variety of tasty options are available. From crunchy nuts and chips to refreshing ice creams — everything is available all day at the honesty bar. Pair them with a delightful drink and enjoy the moment like a god in France.

Sharing boards

On the estate, a selection of cheese and sharing boards is available. Perfect for a refined savoury treat by the pool or as a light dinner after an extensive lunch out. This way, you can fully enjoy the Plaisance surroundings without leaving this little paradise.

Drinks

A fine glass lies at the heart of the French art de vivre. At the Manoir, we invite you to experience this tradition through a carefully curated selection of beverages. From a refreshing aperitif upon arrival to a delicious Italian espresso enjoyed in your room — at Manoir de Plaisance, we serve only drinks of the highest quality. Whether seated indoors or outside in the evening light, the self-service bar allows you to remain on the estate throughout the day, without the need to drive to a café.

Pétillant de Plaisance

Upon arrival, you are treated to a delightful bottle of Pétillant de Plaisance, our refreshing 0.0% bubbles. Complex and floral in character, crafted from white grapes with verbena and jasmine. Can’t get enough? It is also available at the honesty bar.

Honesty bar

On the estate, two self-service honesty bars are available, one in the Manoir and one in the pool house. Based on trust, you may help yourself and note your consumption to be added to your room bill. A wide selection of drinks is available.

Illy coffee

At Manoir de Plaisance, only Illy coffee is served, renowned worldwide for its exceptional quality. This Italian coffee is carefully served at breakfast and is available without limit in your room, always included in the room rate.
