Café de la Paix — Restaurant in Fontainebleau

A late review because I forgot I shared it on my Instagram but not here!

Me, my boyfriend, and his parents all had a solid experience in a nice, casual vibe. The place itself isn't fine dining, but the food is great quality, and we enjoyed ourselves from the main course to dessert. We were offered complementary amuse-bouche of veal tartar which just melted right in the mouth. It was creamy and herby, and the meat itself was fresh. Everyone else took the veal steak with polenta while I got the steak with bearnaise sauce, fries, and salad. Cooked just right, zero complaints from any of us.

The highlight, however, was the dessert. The family was enamored by the walnut and chocolate tart with vanilla ice cream. I loved my pain perdu with ice cream and caramel. There might have been a bit too much caramel, but otherwise, the bread itself was delicious and spiced with a good amount of cinnamon - just the way I like it.

They have fantastic outdoor seating, and the fresh summer night air made it all the more worth it after a sweltering daytime heat. Bourron Marlotte is a peaceful little town, and we got to appreciate its quaint and...

in summary: Propably not the best choice if you are a vegetarian and over-priced for what you get. We had 2 entrees and 2 main courses. The entrees were both good, in the vegetarian option they just left away the fish. The vegetarian main course was just vegetables (carrots, cauliflower), not arranged/prepared in a creative & appealing way - basically the meaty main course without the meat. In the other main course the meat was well cooked although we ordered medium rare. This is a real pity as we ordered the most expensive main course (33€) and you would think/hope they treat their ingredients with the utmost respect, especially if the meat is veal. The service was overall appropiate and attentive. The kitchen should just establish a standard and check what is going out to the customers as well as be more creative when it comes to request by the customer (e.g. vegetarian) which is not something special or...

A Revolutionary cafe for 'International Peace' to visit for lunch or dinner with a walk like John Cleese! In summer the terrrace is really a winner and the chairs outside reflect work & the Greek connection. Fantastic cars in frames & actors and actresses of fame, & last but not least great wine and food list & lots of recipes of acclaim. The orchids on the tables are reminiscent of Thailand and South-East Asia, & its sure Ryoma Rhum combines Japan & Christian de Montaguere. Refined but relaxing, with comfortable chairs and Zen. A hive of busy bees & a food lovers Den! The wine is a pure glass of magic and the food is supernatural & very enigmatic. Don't forget to visit for a meal with Felipe & pilgrim coffee with crepes. Or the choice of atmosphere with Paris Philharmonic 4 digital solutions & Viking Vodkas 4 discovery...
