During your visit to the Château de Prangins , why not enjoy a meal in the ‘Café du Château’. Open from 9.30 to 17.30, Tuesdays to Sundays, this restaurant is located in the former servants' wing, on the site of the 18th-century kitchens. 

Let us tempt you, during the week, with our seasonal menu, our menu of the day or our desserts, prepared (according to availability) using the vegetables, aromatic herbs and fruits from the historic kitchen garden of the Château de Prangins. The café’s panoramic terrace is ideally situated, offering an unlimited view over the extensive park of the estate.

Brunch and private events

On Sundays, enjoy the famous brunch buffet at your leisure (booking highly recommended).
