Les Enclos Bed and Breakfast à 4 mn de Chantilly

Following in his father’s footsteps, Guillaume Guibet has taken over the reins of this former hunting lodge (1886). His spot-on, creative cooking keeps pace with the seasons, with the occasional nod to Asian traditions acquired after a stint at the Japanese restaurant, Kei, in Paris). He delicately, even cheekily crafts a feast of premium ingredients, as in a ceviche of bream with button mushrooms or morels and a bacon-flavoured sabayon. The same flair extends to the stylish wood- and leather-rich interior and to the guestrooms, designed like individual chalets, with a terrace or outdoor tub w

This restaurant promises succulent traditional cuisine, made using quality ingredients, most of which come from the surrounding countryside. Fine dining takes the limelight in this former coal barn, converted into a plush, culinary haven. Following in Marc Duval's footsteps, chef Thomas Filippa is a firm fan of old-school culinary classics, although he does allow himself the occasional more modern twist: asparagus, shellfish, Noilly Prat sabayon and caviar; line-caught seabass, roast lettuce and olive oil sauce… The dining room opens onto a manicured garden.

This village inn combines quaint old-fashioned appeal with stylish contemporary details: light stone, exposed rafters, wainscoting, a central fireplace and elegant light fixtures. The menu focuses on carefully crafted dishes made with first-class ingredients, many from local farmers: pollock in herbs, barigoule of spring vegetables and pesto of wild garlic, followed by a vanilla-laced shortcrust pastry, lemon cream and confit, dried strawberries and tarragon sorbet, which shows off the pastry chef training of the chef. Alfresco dining in the garden.

The bright contemporary decor of this charming 17C house sets the scene for the chef's inventive cuisine, which tactfully plays on combinations of texture and flavour, in dishes such as free-range egg, scallop roe, matured black shallot confit and turmeric breadcrumbs, or chia seeds flavoured with Madagascan vanilla, dark chocolate with rose water, coconut biscuit and pimpernel. The set menu changes daily, depending on market availability.

In a handsome 19C abode near Montmorency Forest, this restaurant aims to uphold French art de vivre: period tableware and furniture, gleaming silverware and copper and high ceilings – all of which in a plush muted interior dominated by wood. The food is suitably classical and generous, whilst traversing the annals of French cookery: pâté en croûte, rabbit cooked in mustard and rice pudding. A few rooms for overnight stays.

A welcoming decor in two rustic rooms, one of which is very spacious with rafters and a fireplace. Shaded summer terrace. Simple, traditional menu in tune with the seasons.
