Le Phare St Louis sur Velizy-Villacoublay

07/09/2026: One of the restaurants I miss the most since moving to the South of France! L’Orée du Bois is everything I love in a restaurant: elegance, refinement, conviviality, and above all, truly delicious food! The cuisine is sophisticated, generous, made with real ingredients, and the prices are fair considering the quality you find on your plate. It just goes to show that you can offer beautiful, refined cuisine without charging exorbitant prices! Just thinking about it makes me hesitate… your foie gras or your avocado-crab religieuse? 🤤 Mmm… Now that’s real food, just the way I like it! And it’s not just the food. The owners are incredibly kind. The chef always takes the time to come out of the kitchen to greet the customers, chat, and make sure everything went well. And when Madame comes to take our order, she always has a kind word, a smile, a thoughtful touch that makes us feel truly welcome. That's what makes all the difference: excellent food served by people who are genuinely kind, approachable, and passionate about their work. Since moving to the South of France, this is definitely one of the places I miss the most. I hope to have the chance to pop in and say hello again during a future visit… and especially to dine at your table again! ❤️ Don't change a thing. You're one of those restaurants that you remember fondly, even long afterward.
