L'Entourloupe is the bistro of Blandy, the village next to Vaux-le-Vicomte, and it stands right opposite the castle of Blandy-les-Tours, a medieval fortress with its towers and its wall. It was opened by Angélique and Damien in 2022, in the village they chose to live in, with the idea of a place for friends. They sum it up like this: a castle, a bistro and a terrace between the two. It is a good stop for lunch before or after Vaux-le-Vicomte, about 5 km away, and for seeing in passing a fortress that is nothing like Fouquet's château.
The cooking and the dining room
Simple, well-made cooking with fresh produce, according to the area's tourism listing, with local beers and house cocktails. The menu changes: it is published on their website, in a page-turning book format, and gives no prices in text. In winter you eat by the fireplace; in summer, on the terrace facing the towers. They do takeaway orders (click & collect) and have a programme section on their website with what they organise at the house.

Getting there
Blandy is about 5 km east of Vaux-le-Vicomte as the crow flies; the restaurant faces the place des Tours, the castle square, in the centre of the village. The practical way is to drive from the Vaux car park: between the two châteaux there is no public transport designed for visitors.
What to order: ask about the dishes of the day and the local beers and house cocktails
