Restaurant Marcelle

We are staying at the hotel and it is absolutely beautiful. The restaurant, however, is terrible. Service was incredibly slow and unresponsive. We waited 2.5 hours for our first entrée, had to repeatedly ask for our water to be refilled, and for the plates to be cleared. The foie gras was also poorly executed and tasted a bit foul. The initial free bread was nice.

The food was exquisite and the service lovely. Plus the property is beautiful. I love that they use local products for the food. Be warned though, the price tag is very steep.

Extremely fabulous restaurant in Domain de Verchant. Service was great and menu were delectable.

The expression "saved by the bell" applies here as "saved by the desserts". The setting of the restaurant and the estate are both breathtaking and the service is immaculate and professional. Having said that though... I was expecting more taste and flavours out of the dishes we chose from the Menu Création which promised transparent cannelloni with Lobster filling for starters and succulent rack of lamb for main. To be very honest the dishes fell short of delivering their intentions. The cannelloni was very absent in taste while the lobster and mayonnaise felt more like a hastily prepared afternoon snack done at home. The Lamb needed some accompaniment that was simply not there and I really did not appreciate the tomato paste that was lathered on top of the meat... it could have tasted better. I did score the experience 4 stars because of the service and the atmosphere but mostly because of the desserts that use Nigella seeds in profusion (one of my favorite ingredients). The amuse bouche intermezzo's were nice but I was not blown away by the flavours in general.

Highly recommend Great venue/ food/ service/ experience. As it is a 5star/ Relais&Chateau you just need to be aware of the price.

Super brunch
