We recently stayed in Flee with friends and four of us went to the local Relais for lunch…read more We entered through a bar into the restaurant which was in a large airy room with simple decor. However the ambience did not prepare us for the meal that was to come. There was a wide range of starters to choose from. My favourite was the fresh peach filled with tuna and mayonnaise. Wonderful. There was a choice of main courses and these were delicious and beautifully presented. The cheese board, which had a wide choice was left on the table and I think we sampled most of them. Sweets were in a refrigerated cabinet for us to make our own choice. It was difficult to choose but my Ile de Flottante proved to be a good choice. Wine or cider was included in the meal which was followed by coffee. All of this was included in the 12 euro menu. Excellent!, A first class meal at a very reasonable price. If you are in the area, give it a try. It is good.

My pal Bill and I ate at the Relais de la Foret last Wednesday and although they had 20+ group in…read morefor special lunch, our host made us really welcome. We began with the chilled buffet, which provided plenty of options to fill your plate. I loved the smoked herring salad. For mains we split between Turkey and pork both of which were in superb sauces and were accompanied by proper mashed potato. We skipped the cheese board, even though it looked great because we were in danger of severely overeating. Again, there was a wide selection of deserts and all this was washed down with our choice of wine colour and coffee. Great! Not the finest premises but a brilliant meal especially for 12 euros. Tell Baptiste I sent you.

Recommended by the Countess de Vanssay, we went to dinner at Manoir de Saint Quentin and if I could…read moregive it 10 stars I would! The setting and ambiance are beautiful, elegant and the service impeccable, yet fun and relaxed. Chef Faï was simply superlative. His cooking has the heart and soul of France and French gastronomy which has been kissed and painted expertly with nuanced Asian flavors and ingredients. A house cocktail of litchi, guava and white wine with a drop of vodka - I could drink pitchers of it all summer long... The starter of fresh crab cakes with fresh herbs and mustard sauce immediately set the tone for the evening. Fresh, sweet, delicate crab kissed with fresh herbs and a light mustard sauce was amazing. I do not like crab - but I ate every bit of Chef Faï's crab and wiped the plate clean with the delicious bread. The green salad with crispy fish skin, dressed lightly in a classic French style vinaigrette with classic Asian ingredients like Chinese or Japanese mustard, sesame oil and perhaps Japanese rice vinegar was just another level of culinary perfection. The dishes were all amazing, the bread and wine perfect, I could go on and on...but it's better to experience Chef Faï's artistry yourself - in person. I understand why people return again and again to his magical restaurant. I know that we will return any chance we have when in France because it is definitely an experience to enjoy again and again!! Thank you Chef Faï - incredible, incredible and 5 full stars at minimum - and deserving of a sky full of stars to be honest. Recommandé par la comtesse de Vanssay, nous sommes allés dîner au Manoir de Saint Quentin et si je pouvais lui donner 10 étoiles, je le ferais! Le cadre et l'ambiance sont beaux, élégants et le service impeccable, amusant et détendu. Le chef Faï était tout simplement superbe. Sa cuisine a le coeur et l'âme de la France et de la gastronomie française qui a été embrassée et peinte de manière experte avec des saveurs et des ingrédients asiatiques nuancés. Un cocktail maison de litchi, goyave et vin blanc avec une goutte de vodka - je pourrais en boire des pichets tout l'été ... L'entrée de gâteaux de crabe frais aux herbes fraîches et à la sauce à la moutarde donne immédiatement le ton pour la soirée. Le crabe frais, doux et délicat embrassé avec des herbes fraîches et une sauce légère à la moutarde était incroyable. Je n'aime pas le crabe - mais j'ai mangé chaque morceau de crabe du chef Faï et j'ai nettoyé l'assiette avec le délicieux pain. La salade verte à la peau de poisson croustillante, habillée légèrement d'une vinaigrette à la française à la française avec des ingrédients asiatiques classiques tels que la moutarde chinoise ou japonaise, de l'huile de sésame et peut-être du vinaigre de riz japonais, n'était qu'un autre niveau de perfection culinaire. Les plats étaient tous incroyables, le pain et le vin parfaits, je pourrais continuer encore et encore ... mais il vaut mieux expérimenter l'art du chef Faï vous-même - en personne. Je comprends pourquoi les gens reviennent encore et encore dans son restaurant magique. Je sais que nous retournerons toutes nos chances en France car c'est définitivement une expérience à vivre encore et encore !! Merci Chef Faï - incroyable, incroyable et au moins 5 étoiles pleines - et méritant un ciel étoilé pour être honnête.
