Les meilleurs restaurants en Barbizon

13/09/2026: We made a reservation by phone two days prior, but to our great surprise, no one was expecting us when we arrived. No effort was made to find a solution, even though the terrace out front was half empty! The owner questioned our sincerity, telling us without a smile: "No, I'm the only one who answers the phone, and I don't have a reservation for you!" It's as if the restaurant business is booming! In fact, it's not a hobby, but a real profession. Luckily, the street has other welcoming restaurants! We recommend Le Gaulois, where, without a reservation, we received a very warm welcome and enjoyed excellent food.

08/09/2026: A brief moment out of time. When I was planning my week's vacation in Seine-et-Marne, and more specifically my visit to Barbizon, I had initially chosen a different restaurant. Unusually, I checked the reviews for that establishment. The poor quality of service was mentioned several times... So I looked for another and came across Le Gaulois. There, the reviews were glowing about the hospitality. So I decided to eat at Le Gaulois. After my experience, I'm very happy with my choice. I had a truly relaxing time there, which greatly enhanced my well-being for the day. I was first greeted by a woman of rare beauty, elegance, and grace. Smiling and gentle, I realized that she was probably the one I had texted when I made my reservation. I smiled afterward because the three young men serving and working the bar also looked like they'd stepped out of a modeling agency! Helpful and smiling without ever being obsequious, they took excellent care of me throughout my meal. I had lunch in a small, covered courtyard, which was also particularly charming. The eggs meurette were excellent, the beef fillet exceptionally tender, and the homemade fries perfectly complemented the rest of the meal. The floating island dessert with its crème anglaise completed this complete success. I hope to return before I leave; it all depends on some acquaintances I need to meet before my departure. Thank you to the chef and the entire team.

05/09/2026: Appalling service. It's hard to even call this place a restaurant—that's what they present themselves as, after all. The waitress speaks to customers as if I'd walked into her house at midnight and was disturbing her. No respect, no basic courtesy whatsoever. I've never encountered such terrible service anywhere in the world. If you want to ruin your day, you've come to the right place.
