Domaine LE VERBOIS

Wonderful small hotel with Michelin starred restaurant. The rooms are individual modern "chalet" style with large sitting room, luxury amenities, breakfast delivered via picnic basket in the morning. The landscaping at the property provides individual privacy and is beautiful. See photo below of our room. We drove here from airport in less than 30 minutes, a great base for exploring beautiful villages, chateaus, walks in the area just north of Paris. And the restaurant meals were local, wonderful with perfect service and an excellent extensive wine list.

This restaurant does not deserve a star. Nor does it have any justification to charge what it does for what is an average meal. The setting is beautiful, the pace of the dishes great but wine and water glasses are forgotten throughout the meal and the service is far below any other similarly rated restaurant: there just aren’t enough people in the dining room. It’s sad that the quality of the food seems to have slipped (one can only assume) while prices very much haven’t. Go elsewhere, you’ll have a much better meal for better value.

A michillin star restaurant near the Chantilly castle. Loved the pistachio desserts.

The restaurant is gorgeous, it has a beautiful garden and is very harmoniously decorated. The service is fast and professional, they take the time to explain each course. Sadly, the food is nothing to write home about. It is not bad but we were expecting a lot more having visited a couple of one star restaurants. You can definitely see the expertise on the dishes but you can not taste it... Is like they don't like to take any risks and although it was just good, l wouldn't recommend it.

Delicious gastronomic restaurant. Be prepared to sit for over 2 hours but the chef definitely has a lot to offer. My pork was incredible. You haven't had pork cooked that way, I can tell you. Everything else was unique, flavorful and very well executed. Very well priced, in this beautiful house.

We had an amazing dinner experience, the food was delicious and the menu is definitely worthy with little amuse bouches served before getting the starters. The service was also excellent, not too formal and very friendly. Overall we had a great time in this nice restaurant and I will definitely try to come back.

Now that my challenge of trying every Michelin Stars in Paris and 3 Stars is done, I’m redoing most of them and I’m trying 2 Stars or Stars that are around Paris (Follow me for all the reviews and updates). I took the opportunity to have to go to the airport (CDG) to have a Sunday lunch there. « Une bien belle maison. » (A quite pleasing family house.) What’s interesting here? The house, the family and the son. For the house, it’s start at the gate. It was a Rothschild s hunting lounge. Additions have been made on both sides to create two luminous dining rooms. Still the lounge spirit did not left the building and you’ll find reminders everywhere, from a gorgeous chimney to the seats with fur. But the temperature of a house depends on how inhabits it. Here it’s warm. The staff is exactly what it should be (warmer than in Paris, but still distant and respectful). Still, it’s more than that. There’s a spirit. A family spirit. A warm one. L esprit d auberge (inn’s spirit). It’s the third generation. So, for those who follow me, you’ll know that’s a big combo for me: Sunday lunch in an inn! That would have been enough to made my day. And then came the son. Today’s chef is the son, the parents being in the dining room. He worked in numerous Michelin Stars, and most notably in 3 Stars Kei. Although, it s not a small Kei, you can see that he took away from that experience a certain creativity, freedom from the classical Michelin but yet with an attention to balance. My dessert was a prime example with the usage of cauliflower, but it could be seen through the entire menu. Bottom line: I’m not afraid of having to go to CDG anymore. I know what to do, and where to go. Mood : it was very family because of the Sunday factor. I guess it’s quite versatile (from business lunch to date night). A quite solid one star that I need to go back to, to discover more.

One of the best food experience of my life! Everything was delicious and so flavorful. The staff is welcoming and not too formal, the whole experience was amazing.

This little resaurant is located on the outskirts of Chantilly. From the a outside, it looks like someone's home but its actually an old 19th century hunting lodge. Out back there's a barn turned car garage, a small corral of sheep and ducks and a small garden of vegetables. You walk inside the main building and you come into the foyer of the place. From what I was told, it is not unsual for French families to open up their homes as restaurants. They will have a room specifically setup for patrons and have a staff to serve all the guests. At La Verbois, the host and hostess of the house greet you as you come in and promptly seat you in the dining area. At our particular function we were served hors devours and champagne prior to being seated. The dining room of this home can accommodate a large group of about 4. We were served a 3 course meal which was one of the most exquisite meals I've ever had in my life. The decor was all done tastefully and the presentation of the food was lively. Our meal consisted of: Feuille a feuille d'aubergines et courgettes au guacamole et miettes de Torteau, Carre d'agneau et petits legumes de saison, Dome en chocolat mi-amer au caramel beurre sale de Guerande et sa petite Creme Brulee. A cup of expresso is served at the end along with home made marshmellos which were colored in yellow and blue. If you ever get a chance to visit Chateu de Chantilly or are in this area, you must dine at this restaurant!
