25/01/2026: A true gem! ❤️ A remarkable gastronomic experience The Maupertu restaurant in Pontoise offers a true ode to French cuisine. Under the direction of Chef Ali, each dish reveals a delicate, subtle, and profoundly flavorful cuisine. The elegantly presented plates demonstrate meticulous attention to detail and undeniable culinary mastery. In every bite, one perceives a love for the ingredients, a passion for the craft, and a sincere desire to please. Each meal becomes a moment of pure bliss and indulgence. A huge thank you to Chef Ali and his entire team for their warm welcome, their kindness, and this memorable gastronomic experience.

24/01/2026: We thought the restaurant was on the banks of the Oise River, but it's actually on the other side of the road. The customer parking lot was full, even though we were the first customers of the evening (there was already a group in the small dining room), and parking on the road was quite difficult. The service was impeccable, the staff very attentive, the tables beautifully set, the setting perfect, and not too noisy. As for our meal, we ordered foie gras, duck breast, and lemon tart. It was good, but nothing special, lacking the refinement and creativity one might expect from a restaurant at this price point: over €50 for the meal, without wine or coffee, just two aperitifs. The restaurant is decent, but the value for money could be improved.
