    This review is for what is supposed to be a 5* hotel. Sent couple of emails requesting information…read moreas there's conflicting information on their websites to figure out if they and the restaurant were open but after 3 days of wait no answer. I will let you figure out how to feel if you want to stay and eat there but there's no answer. No customer service. I'm surprised and confused as I was really looking forward to staying there.

    My friend and I had visited last year but on a Sunday night they were open to hotel guest only. So…read morenow that I'm back in the area we returned recently on a Friday night. They weren't too busy. The service was exceptional, well trained staff and multiple staff people waiting on our table. My companion had a set menu: starter, 2 main courses and dessert with wine pairings. I don't like eating so much at the typical French dinner time of 8 or 830pm. So I had one main dish and dessert. They brought us amuse bouche with our pre-dinner drinks, upstairs. And then once we took the gold elevator to the ground level there was another light dish before the meal. I had the veal with short rib, with artichokes and a lovely melange of fall vegetables. The veal and short rib were tender and bursting w flavor. My companion had both the lobster and sweetbread dishes. He commented that the sweetbread was excellent. Again we were presented with a pre dessert, a lovely glass piece with tiny bites of various pateries. Delightful. My dessert choice was far superior - napoleon. They cut it into 2 slices and I could only eat the first half. The creme was rich and light at the same time. The pastry also light layers, but still held the dish together.

    The restaurant is in a greenhouse-like corner of the hotel of the same name, which looks out onto…read morean internal garden with sculptures of dogs and ostrich. We had for dinner one vegetarian 5 course and one Hommage Aux Saveurs menu with a substitution of the foie gras dish from the Mes Racines menu for the "Brochet A La Falcon D'une Fôchouse" white fish appetizer. The service is very warm and the waiters only know the word yes--just the kind of service deserving of a 2 or 3 Michelin white tablecloth fancy restaurant. The first dish was a great collection of local vegetables that struck us both as similar to Blue Hill at Stone Barns. We immediately Wikipedia'd the restaurant and learned that the previous head chef before he committed suicide was famous for using local fresh ingredients and low cream, revolutionary in his generation for French Haute Cuisine. Foie Gras dish was Bomb; I snuck a bite and it was delicious, perfect hot temperature, and not too fatty. The vegetarian dish for that course was a green asparagus with an egg cream. Savory dish for meat eater was veal served pink; savory dish for vegetarian was a layered potato with melted cheese and fresh cilantro on top. The cheese spread was amazing, and the wine was very overpriced compared to the Burgundy joints we visited.

    Bernard Loiseau lived and died a legend. If you don't know to whom I refer, read "The…read morePerfectionist" about the life of this legendary French chef who battled depression his entire career, but still became a Three-Michelin star chef. When reports came out that he was going to lose a star, he shot himself at a fairly-young age. If that doesn't make you want to stay and dine at his legendary hotel and restaurant, well, read the book, and then book it. Tucked away in a small town in Burgundy, lies the Relais Bernard Loiseau. It is a gorgeous, yet unconventional, hotel. It has large cabin-like rooms, and a beautiful spa downstairs where I did indulge in a treatment or two. While the hotel is gorgeous, gourmands flock far and wide for the legendary food and to clench a bit of the legend. As an ignorant non-foodie, I did not know much about Loiseau, when I arrived, but, was quickly educated. There is not much to do in this little town, with the exception of a few bars and the hotel and gift shop attached. It is very quaint and lovely. The restaurant is in word: astonishing. Each course is elegantly and gloriously prepared. I still think about their signature cocktail, my first frog leg, and the tenderness of the beef. The dining rooms are incredible, as is the lounges where you enjoy your cocktails and wine. I would recommend challenging your palette to one of the set menus. The pastries are divine. The hotel in general has exceptional service. They even provided us with our own driver/certified sommelier for wine tasting throughout burgundy. It really doesn't get any better than this. If you ever find yourself in France, it is worth the drive (only two hours if you don't get lost from Paris).

    2.5 stars I came to…read moreLe Troubadour at the very start of their lunch service. Despite the fancy atmosphere, the lunch special is a good deal at 17 euros for an appetizer/main or main/dessert. I started with the onion soup, which was easily the saddest onion soup I've had in France. The flavor was good, but it just had some shredded cheese sprinkled on the top, not bruleed as advertised on the menu. For my main course, I had the roast duck. I ordered it medium, but it was totally overcooked and tough, with no pink inside at all. It made me feel bad that a duck lost its life just to be overcooked. The duck was beautifully presented, though, with a side of carrots, mashed veggies, and a mini mushroom crepe on the side. The sides were easily the best part of the meal. Service was good, and I liked the wine that I had. Sadly, I wouldn't go back because of the food quality.

    Magnifique! This was my favorite meal in the Paris area so far. Perhaps I need to get out of the…read morecity more. The two of us each got the lunch formule, which included an appetizer and an entree or an entree and a dessert; we both opted for the former combo. I got the "fondue," which was not what it sounded like. It was more like mini pizzas with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese on baguette slices. Delicious nonetheless. My boyfriend ordered a chevre salad. The goat cheese was plentiful, and spiced with sun dried tomatoes and chives. For our entrees, we ordered salmon with a cream sauce and magret de canard (duck breast). Both were great. The salmon was cooked well, and the sauce was very good, albeit very heavy. The duck was moist on the inside with crispy skin, and also had a nice sauce. Both dishes came with a half of a baked tomato covered in breadcrums - interesting, but not my favorite part of the meal. The waitress was very nice, even when she got overwhelmed by about 40 loud tourists who came in mid-way through our meal (we were quiet tourists, of course). If I'm ever back in Fontainbebleau then I'll definitely come back here.
