Poor value and spotty service (Margot and our main server were nice). Otherwise, pricing is 3x above what it should be with inedible food. Best part was the bread with butter. We ordered a 48 EUR pigeon highlighted as a Chef’s Special which was presented as a whole roasted baby duckling (head and all) in a basket with cut meat pieces that were raw, delivered by the chef(?) without a word, look or smile. We ordered a Caesar Salad for our child. Not sure if the chef was mad about having to make it (despite it being on the menu, for 27 EUR no less) and trying to make a joke or insult, but it looked like something you might imagine getting at a McDonald’s (photo attached). If you’re visiting the Chateau de Chantilly, just eat there. You’ll spend under 30 EUR for a 3 course meal that’s delicious, without the attitude. Or you could come here and easily spend 150-300 EUR and leave hungry, confused and insulted. And if you’re looking for haute cuisine, this is France, there are plenty of places with great food and service, without the stuffy attitude that isn’t even warranted...

After such a delightful evening, we’re refreshed and ready to experience the second half of...
Read moreWe were here for dinner and we sat outside. We were welcomed by the hotel staff to the lounge area first because the restaurant wasn't ready yet, where we enjoyed beautiful live jazz music and a margarita. Afterwards, we entered the garden where there was a lovely breeze and atmosphere. The staff is very attentive and the experience throughout the dinner was good. We went for the set menu 75€ for 3 courses. As starters we took a cucumber salad and a meat pie, both very good. As mains we went for the pigeon and the chicken. My favourite dish was the chicken because it is paired with an interesting corn sauce and some popcorn as decoration. The desserts were also delicious but overall I would say the cuisine is quite...
