Le Clos de Chevreuse
There's no doubt about it: chef Laurent Gasnier, whose CV speaks volumes (stints at Le Bristol, George V and Troisgros), cannot be faulted when it comes to cherry-picking first-rate, perfectly ripe ingredients, whether veg or fish. He transforms these delicacies into indulgent, impeccably cooked and seasoned dishes, e.g. olive shortbread, cream cheese, prawns and carpaccio of courgette; roast iberico pork, chorizo churros and balsamic gravy. In summer, you'll want to sit on the pretty flower-decked patio in the quiet courtyard. The restaurant stands in the delightful village of Chevreuse – all
TripAdvisor review sample · 4.0/5 · 80 reviews
Dining at Le Clos de Chevreuse yields mixed results. Food quality is polarizing; while some praise the refined, seasonal, and innovative modern cuisine, others report significant disappointment and declining standards. Service is generally highly rated for its warmth and professionalism, with staff noted for accommodating allergies, though occasional pacing issues arise. The ambiance features a charming terrace and cozy fireplace, creating a welcoming atmosphere. However, the dining room can become cramped and noisy during peak times or with large groups, detracting from the experience. Overall, the restaurant offers high culinary potential and attentive service but suffers from inconsistent environmental control and variable food execution.
Suitable for diners seeking refined modern French cuisine who can tolerate potential noise, with advance seating requests recommended.
