La Folie Barbizon sur Barbizon

02/03/2026: We had some doubts after browsing online. We were wrong, despite the restaurant's high volume of customers slightly impacting the continuity of service. The dishes were truly excellent: lobster ravioli with lightly salted beurre monté, just the right hint of iodine; a beautiful sea bass baked in a salt crust "like on the banks of the Bosphorus," if I may say so, with truffle oil mashed potatoes. The desserts were equally impressive, with Grand Marnier soufflé and flambéed pineapple. The reality on the plate lived up to the enticing descriptions, which is hardly surprising: Chef Mikael Briens is a well-traveled Breton. As for the manager of this lovely establishment, he has selected some excellent wines, such as the Côtes de Provence from Domaine Ott, Clos Mireille Blanc de Blancs (Sémillon/Rolle); and he is eager to further enhance the wine list. A very nice prelude, in short, to the visit of the incredible Auberge Ganne, which houses the departmental museum of the painters of Barbizon, and then of the Millet Workshop with its friendly Lebanese caretaker.
