Wisconsin has no shortage of incredible restaurants to choose from. Ranging from classic American fare to exotic international cuisine, you don’t have to travel far to enjoy fantastic dining. Take, for example, a hidden gem of a French restaurant by the name of Le Chateau. Tucked away in the town of La Crosse, this charming destination promises Old World French cuisine paired with Wisconsin’s history and famous hospitality. What could be better?
Welcome -- or rather, Bienvenue! -- to Le Chateau. Situated inside a historic nineteenth-century mansion awaits a dining experience that you won't soon forget. This restaurant, which is located inside the restored Mons Anderson House, boasts gorgeous European atmosphere and top-notch French cooking.
As soon as you step inside, you'll feel as though you've arrived in the heart of Paris. The elegant décor is just the icing on the cake, though, as it's the menu that truly shines.
One of the most popular dishes is the 14 oz. Duroc Pork with walnuts, garlic confit and butternut squash puree. You’ll also love the suggested wine pairings by Chef Tim's wife, Eva, a European-trained sommelier.
For an extra special date night, guests can reserve a table in the Tower Room. Your meal will begin with champagne followed by a seven-course tasting menu made especially for you and your loved one.
You'll also want to explore La Cave, Le Chateau’s cellar lounge. Surrounded by cut limestone walls, stained glass and adjoining wine vault, you'll feel right at home as you enjoy dinner and a drink inside this cozy atmosphere.
When the weather calls for it, guests can enjoy the beautiful garden terrace. Tucked beneath picturesque pine and Ginko trees, La Terrace is the perfect place to dine al fresca.
No matter where you choose to dine, you'll definitely want to save room for dessert. Here we have a slice of lemon mascarpone cake served with fresh blueberries and topped with lemon curd.
So whether you're going on a romantic night out or looking for a festive place to take your friends, you'll be glad you tried this one-of-a-kind dining experience in La Crosse.
Le Chateau is located at 410 Cass St, La Crosse, WI 54601. For more information about this lovely French restaurant, you can visit their website or Facebook Page. Have you dined here before? We’d love to hear about your experience!
