"There aren’t many places to eat in tiny Giverny itself, so reservations are essential at Le Jardin des Plumes, which is where you’ll want to be after wandering through Monet's house and studio. You’ll find it inside a 1913 house-turned-boutique hotel, with a couple of bright, inviting dining areas that overlook a big, lush garden that’s almost as beautiful as Monet’s. The food here is French, but not French-French—lobster is cooked with yuzu, fish with almond milk, and beef with eel. Expect to spend €95 on the three-course lunch menu, €145 on five courses, or €175 on seven. " - sophie friedman
