Le Country Club Fontainebleau

This last Wednesday we had dinner at Le Country Club, based on a recommendation of our French friend, who accompanied us with his family. We were a party of 7. The restaurant was less than half full at its busiest. The location is beautiful with views over the Seine in a wooded residential area with some remarkable homes nearby.

My first visit at the Country-Club was on a summer day some time ago and I was quite disappointed. I went back for lunch on a beautiful autumn day mainly for the view ; the terrace was closed (too much rain) so we ate inside. And it was a very pleasant surprise : no more waiters in training who can't open a bottle properly but efficient service. The choice on the card was small with mainly French heritage (if I may say so) cuisine. We had fish with a glass of sancerre (for lunch they serve wine by the glass) and it was refined, tasty cuisine. I'd definitely recommend it.

A typical luxurious French meal served beautifully. The products were seasonal and locally sourced and the staff were knowledgable. All in all a wonderful experience even with a big group
