La Recreation sur Les Arques

An evening with friends at "La Récréation" A real gem in every way. The food was delicious, refined, original—in short, fantastic! As for the service, we were lucky enough to be served, among others, by Marie, a lovely person passionate about her work, full of humor and kindness. We had an extraordinary evening, and if we ever happen to be back in the area, "La Récréation" will be a must-visit. Marc, Nath, Véro, and Pascal, aka Marc, Esmeralda, Magalie, and Pedro... (Maria will understand) Thanks again for this wonderful time. 😀👍

Excellent restaurant. Charming staff. Very high-quality cuisine.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ La Récréation is simply one of our favorite restaurants, anywhere. My wife and I try to go there about once a month, whenever we manage to escape our three children for an evening. And every time we wonder if we should try another restaurant, we always end up coming back here. There's a simple reason for this: the quality is consistently exceptional. We honestly had one of the best meals of our lives there, and yet they manage to maintain that level every time we visit. We're almost shamefully predictable in our choices. The lobster ravioli is extraordinary, to the point that we now make it a habit to order three portions between the two of us, with the third one in the middle of the table. We've simply accepted that it's become our ritual. The rest of the cuisine is equally remarkable: beautiful ingredients, perfectly executed cooking, and above all, no pretension or unnecessary sophistication, as one sometimes encounters in restaurants of this caliber. But what truly makes La Récréation special is its atmosphere. The place is elegant, yet remains completely relaxed and welcoming. Ludovic and Maria are wonderful hosts, and with their daughter Lola, who also works with them, there's a genuine warmth and personality that makes each visit feel special. They are incredibly kind and generous, and you always feel genuinely welcome. We feel incredibly lucky to have a restaurant of this quality so close to home. Impeccable cuisine, lovely people, and a place we always look forward to returning to. Five stars without the slightest hesitation.

Wonderful food and great service

Average value for money. It's nicely presented and tasty, but it doesn't offer any surprises. For the price, one would expect much better. The wait between courses is very long.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A superb discovery at La Récréation! 🤩 All the ingredients are there for a wonderful experience: cuisine worthy of a top-notch gourmet restaurant, refined dishes, beautiful flavor combinations, and plates as beautiful as they are delicious. The setting is simply idyllic! This former school, transformed into a restaurant, gives the place immense charm and perfectly suits the name La Récréation 😊 Add to that a warm welcome and impeccable service, and you have an address we recommend without hesitation. A truly delightful gourmet "recreation" 😋 that we will be delighted to repeat!

We chose the tasting menu. Classic French cuisine in the sense that meat or fish with a sauce takes center stage. It was nice that there was something crispy in every dish, in the form of roasted grains, a crispy crust, or pomegranate seeds. But what I missed at a restaurant of this level were vegetables! Hence four instead of five stars. I was most impressed by the dessert, a tropical egg with mango, passion fruit, and coconut—delicious! The place itself is also stunningly beautiful.

Excellent lunch in the courtyard under the trees. A very pleasant time. Congratulations to the chef.

Simply perfect: the quality of the food, the presentation, the friendly service – we will be back. A big thank you.

A FLAWLESS EXPERIENCE! Exceptional cuisine, truly exceptional flavors. We opted for the "schoolteacher" menu, which is served in five courses. We didn't leave the table feeling bloated; they took our food intolerances into account, and the vegetable starter was absolutely fantastic. The main courses were a resounding success, as were the cheeses, and the desserts were a hit with everyone. The service was impeccable, with attentive waiters, warm smiles, and clear, simple explanations for both children and adults about what we were eating. We will be back.
