Les Ducs de Lorraine sur Epinal

In a sublime and bright setting with very welcoming staff, an ideal menu, and beautiful decor, I highly recommend this restaurant, which is excellent in every sense of the word....****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Lunch with friends (7 people). The cuisine takes you on a journey with its diverse flavors, high quality, and beautifully presented dishes. It's a shame the cod loin was a bit bland according to everyone at the table, despite being perfectly cooked. The service was excellent, with attentive staff. The atmosphere was modern and refined. However, there was a slight disappointment at the end of the meal... two people chose two scoops of ice cream from the dessert trolley, and unfortunately, we never saw them because, according to the young waiter, "there was no one left in the kitchen to prepare them." 🤔 I find this very unacceptable for a Michelin-starred restaurant. I can confirm that this waiter had all his might to take the initiative and do it... and his reaction to it is unworthy of an Oscar... no alternative was offered, even though my dessert consisted of only two tiny slices of pie, practically nonexistent. 🫣 It's a shame because this small detail will prevent us from returning a third time.

Impeccable cuisine, Prices in line with the quality offered, Impeccable service. I would simply add that it's hardly conceivable for a Michelin-starred restaurant in 2026 to be able to dine in temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius due to the lack of air conditioning... This really needs to be addressed with the increasingly hot summers on the horizon. It prevented us from fully enjoying the evening, although I commend the quality of service once again.

The best restaurant in this area

Every evening, whether a themed night or just a regular evening, is always an event: exclusive, with excellent cuisine and outstanding, personal service. It's something you simply have to treat yourself to. Unforgettable every time.

We were charged an extra €15 for the trolleys, which are normally included in the set menu, on the grounds that we couldn't choose more than four items each. This information wasn't provided to us beforehand and isn't mentioned anywhere. On our previous visits, this condition has never been applied. Moreover, judging from the photos published here, this doesn't seem to be the case either. We would have at least appreciated being informed before being served. When we went to pay, we were told that this restriction isn't mentioned in order to avoid upsetting regular customers, which left us even more perplexed. We understand that this change was apparently implemented following numerous instances of waste, but we don't understand this lack of transparency, which disappointed us.

Fantastic experience, everything was perfect. The staff were excellent.

A huge thank you to Chloé for her seriousness and professionalism! Exemplary service and cuisine.

A wonderful experience. The food was excellent and in more than enough quantity. The dessert trolley was a truly superb idea. The service was professional yet incredibly kind and attentive. The setting was magnificent, with parquet floors and ceiling moldings that transported you back in time. We will be back.

For us, it's very good for €145; if we want to eat for €40, we'll go to Kuock.
