We stopped in Fontainebleau especially to eat here. The food was very well presented; beautiful and tasty - worth the 1 star Michelin. Unfortunately, it was marred by the bad service. The first server seemed stressed and irritated. He was quite young, and you got the impression that he wanted to be anywhere but there. Throughout lunch I observed how the servers made very little eye contact with customers, almost avoiding tables in case they were asked for something. One customer, sitting on his own at a table opposite, even had to get up and ask for something, because he could not get the attention of any of the servers. We asked for olive oil instead of butter with our bread. It turned out...
While planning our trip to Fontaineblue, I checked TripAdvisor for the #1 restaurant and made a booking in advance. Best food-related decision ever. It's really a shame that some of the reviews speak so lowly of the staff, because the chef who came to personally greet us was obviously a proud and humble man. I've been to a few Michelin starred restaurants before, including a 3-star one in London. Nothing, NOTHING every was this good. While the pictures I took only do it half justice, by the time dessert arrived I had to take a few minutes to recompose myself because the dishes, one after the other, spoke to me in a way no food has ever done so before. It reset my expectations for fine dining...
My husband and I came here for our anniversary as a treat. We ordered the taster menu, which although expensive, was absolutely worth it! The service is perfect, we didn't wait for anything, but at the same time we didn't feel rushed. The food was exquisite, every course looked beautiful and I enjoyed every mouthful! Would absolutely go again.
We had lunch this afternoon. We took a 5 metre and wine stop. It was our first starred restaurant. We were not disappointed between the dishes, the wines, the service and the details accompanying them. We know where there is a real starred restaurant in Fontainebleau: this is the AXEL. Thanks again for those few hours of happiness.

A wonderful restaurant with an exceptional and talented chef! I’ve been seeing him for a very long time and it’s always a great pleasure to go even if it’s a little far from home. We go with our eyes closed and enjoy it to spend a good time in the city so pleasant with the magnificent castle
Perfect balance between dishes and wines. A real pleasure that the staff can share. A little attention for our wedding anniversary at the end of the meal. (see photo)
Food was tasty but pricey though. One can get similar quality food at lower price. Nice decor. Not that attentive servers. Will not go back for sure.
This was blow your mind amazing! Best meal in all of France. I'd love to go back but it's pricey as it should be, maybe next year!
