La Mare aux Oiseaux sur Saint-Joachim

Our experience at La Mare aux Oiseaux was mixed. The welcome was good, and we were seated on the terrace, which, admittedly, has a beautiful setting. However, seven times throughout lunch, we were defecated by bird droppings that had settled directly above our table (including one dropping that fell into a glass of water). While these inconveniences were not the fault of the establishment, no compensation or solution (such as changing tables or removing the birds) was offered, despite our repeated complaints. This spoiled our meal, as we were constantly worried about another dropping. We weren't even offered complimentary coffee to ease our dissatisfaction. We didn't find this to be what one would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. As for the food, the dishes were well-prepared, without any mistakes, but also without any surprises. The food and wine pairing surprised us and introduced us to new flavors. The service was very attentive (numerous servers) and welcoming, although it felt a bit like a rehearsed, mechanical routine. The real highlight was the discovery of the food and wine pairing, which delighted and surprised us.

A magical interlude. Magnificent setting. Very attentive and friendly staff. Extraordinary dinner. Time seems to stand still. Everything is perfect.

A superb experience at the restaurant and with the seven-course tasting menu. Excellent customer service; they even offered us a private room so we could have some peace and quiet with our baby. I loved the sturgeon and the strawberry dessert. The garden is beautiful when the weather is sunny. My only suggestion: adding air conditioning to the restaurant would be a huge plus for both customers and staff after 1 p.m.

Excellent stay (2 nights) at the hotel, in the family-run courtyard. The pool is intimate and beautifully decorated! Special mention to the staff who were incredibly attentive to us and our daughter Louise. The meal was divine, as was the sommelier, who was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We loved it and hope to return.

Excellent meal, worthy of its Michelin star and reputation

A moment of pure bliss in a magnificent setting, surrounded by kind and attentive people. A divine and refined meal, and wonderful discoveries. Thank you to Chef Guerin and his team for this lovely experience.

Our first experience at a Michelin-starred restaurant, and frankly, it was a feast for the senses. The atmosphere was warm and unpretentious, and the staff were very friendly and smiling. We opted for the five-course "Envol" menu with wine pairings. The flavors were exceptional, featuring mostly local produce.

A very good restaurant with decent service. Wines at reasonable prices. We had the 7-course tasting menu for €160, which is definitely worth trying. We enjoyed it.

A very nice and good restaurant. The dining room was a bit noisy.

A magnificent, peaceful space, combining comfort, well-being and the enchantment of the palace
