La Table du 11, Versailles France, Restaurant

Give us an overview of the space and the surface area.
This Michelin-starred restaurant is steps away from the Palace of Versailles, just worlds away from the crowds. The setting is sublime; the Cour des Senteurs ("the courtyard of fragrances") was restored a few years ago and is now a tranquil, cobbled courtyard lined with stylish shops (similar one devoted to Toile de Jouy fabrics), a tea room, and La Tabular array du 11. The Cour des Senteurs was imagined like an urban promenade, with a landscaped walkway leading toward the oldest quarter in Versailles, where you'll find the Potager du Roi (the Male monarch'south kitchen garden). La Tabular array du 11 moved here from its previous location in May 2017, replacing the shuttered Guerlain and Diptyque shops. The interiors are merely as pretty equally the exteriors, with woods tables, armchairs in a dashing green and blue, covetable tableware, and bright ceramic human foot stools. What was the crowd similar?
Versailles, through and through. This refined address is adored by well-heeled locals, and can fill two months in advance (peculiarly on weekends). Locals also appreciate the sister eating place, Le Bistro du eleven, which chef Jean-Baptist Lavergne Morazzani opened nearby with his second, chef Gabriel Gras, in May 2017. What should nosotros exist drinking?
The restaurant's sustainability ethos is likewise found in the thoughtfully curated vino list. The 450 references showcase domaines working in organic or biodynamic viticulture. Happy virtually a find? Yous can choice upwardly some wine to go at the eatery's wine store, La Cave du xi. Here you can also stock up on cheese and charcuterie, and partake in onsite tastings. Main event: the food. Give us the lowdown—especially what non to miss.
Information technology's pure poetry. The color! The finesse! Young Morazzani (he'southward not even 30 years onetime) trained at elevation addresses, including the Trianon Palace, Cobéa, and Le Meurice (under super-chef Yannick Alléno) before hit out on his own. With his contemporary French cuisine, Morazzani also looks to promote sustainability; he's all nigh organic vegetables and line-caught fish. His menus alter every xv days, featuring vegetables that come from their garden at Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche or local producers. The five-course dinner menu might highlight lieu jaune (pollock) with Jerusalem artichokes, or costless-range poultry accented with root shoots and effluvious herbs. The 3-form lunch menu at 45 euros ($48) is a great deal. And how did the front end-of-house folks treat you?
Excellent, knowledgable staff. What's the existent-existent on why we're coming hither? This is a top table in Versailles, so bien sur you lot could celebrate a special occasion here, just it'due south also affordable for a refined Michelin-starred lunch afterwards touring the chateau.
