Restaurant Maximin Hellio

Where do I start with this place, myself, partner and twin boys visited this place as we were in France and wanted to experience a michelin restaurant as a family. We got the tasting menu and OMG, this has been the best food I've ever tasted and also the rest of the family tasted. Being a chef, I was told that unfortunately my food was no where near as good as this place. I can't even find words to describe the amaizing experience from start to finish. Food just kept coming and they must have known we were from Glasgow as an unlimited supply of the best corn bread served with 2 types of butter- sweet butter and seaweed butter- kept coming. Every single course was outstanding, and just kept getting better and better, and I knew we must have been in good hands being fed by a chef who has worked in the finest establishments, with the best chefs in France and he was at the helm, alongside his wife who i think ran front of house. The service was outstanding too. The attention to detail was incredible. It was a shame I couldn't try any wine as I was driving, hopefully I will be able to try the wine next time round. Maybe they will let me have some work experience in the kitchen, free of charge obviously? A stage, I'm sure they call it. I would love to complete my chefing by working in a michelin restraunt, I envy your skills, chef! Thank you for giving my family the most memorable food experience ever, I really can't believe we were so lucky to come to your restraunt. Outstanding

The menu is revealed seated. One is pleasantly surprised by so much imagination. A special mention for the shrimp broth with potato mousse stuffed shrimp. We also like the amuse bouche in a crab shell.

We decided for a weekend getaway in Deauville and found this place, very well located, one star michelin, so why not indulge. The perfect choice as we found out while dining, the staff is lovely, we tried some wonderful dishes, the lobster and crab were outstanding, the subtle use of kombawa refreshing, the french caviar a delight. The homemade bread, even if a sidedish does deserve to be mentioned, it would make some bakers would be envious. A great restaurant, we'll happily try out again, we had agreat time.

Very creative yet stay true to their elements in Normandie. Very accommodating service and divine dishes. Creative yet not pretentious and with the right execution. Will be back.

Very disappointed. All dishes had a sharp taste like vinegar. The only dish which was nice was the scallops and that was so salty it completely ruined it. Left the restaurant hungry and completely bemused as to how they have a Michelin star.

Excellent food, imaginatively presented. One or two dishes on the six course menu were less good than others, but nothing to let down the meal overall. Price is what you'd expect for the quality.

We had a very bad experience here. Maximin Hellio was rude upon arrival. Then the service was very slow. They took a long time to bring water and serve the wine. The food was flat and without creativity. And the deserts were simply not good. We would not recommend this Resturant.

Very high quality cooking, imaginative use of seasonal produce and a relaxed style in the kitchen, which we could see from our table, made this a memorable meal. We had the mid- priced menu - at this level it is not cheap, but well worth it. We will certainly be back next time we are near Deauville
