The culinary journey here isn’t just a meal, but a thoughtful exploration of French flavors told through seasonal ingredients and masterful technique. Each dish softly reveals a story—like the tender hampe de bœuf braised with delicate shallots or the playful revisit of a classic tarte au citron—celebrating tradition while inviting you to savor something familiar in a refreshingly new light.

What a wonderful meal we had at this charming and typically French restaurant. The lunch set menu was varied and excellent value for money. The food was absolutely delicious and they catered really well for our children as well who enjoyed trying new things such as smoked salmon but were also at home with chicken goujons and frites. The atmosphere in the restaurant was lovely and the staff were so friendly, they were very helpful and patient as I did my best to translate the menu into English. Will definitely return here if we visit again. Provins is a beautiful town so I'm sure we will be back!

We were so surprised by this place! The service was excellent, the food was delicious and the ambiance was fantastic for a medieval evening but with a flare of elegance. We went with children and they even had a baby chair for us and we're accommodating with us and our needs. Also we learned that it's the oldest existing restaurant in France !

Staff are wonderful and the decor is beautiful. The best part is the history as it's the oldest restaurant in France. It's been there since 1270

Plates are very gourmet. We all enjoyed our meals. The 3 course menu is for 32.9 € and there’s another one for 19.9€ with less choices. The wine selection is also pretty good. The restaurant’s decoration is authentic, you will be driven back in time!
