Today we visited the beautiful grounds and gardens of the chaumont chateau. In between walks we decided to try the lunch at Le Velum. The menu was definitely unique and really does a great job of showcasing the seasons bounty. Our starter and Plat each came with a smell stick designed to help elevate the senses to enjoy the food at the highest level. I had the duck with the blackberry sauce, fresh green beans, and roasted red pepper purée. The scent stick was scented with geranium and it certainly was a mind blowing experience to take a bit of food and smell the scented stick. At first I thought it was a little silly, but it is based on the connection that all our senses have and it truly ma...
I had lunch with a friend on the 07/17/18. We both ordered the duck. As soon as the silver dome was lifted, tens of flies rushed to the dishes. It was impossible to eat. I had to fan my guest plate in order for her to eat. We asked the waitress who told us that we had flies because we order the duck and that we were lucky because last year it was waps.

The white wine didn't arrive with the starter and water wasn't brought immediately as is normal in French restaurants. We have eaten in a good many Michelin starred restaurants and this wouldn't make the cut. Disappointing taste experie...
This restaurant is incredible. The plates look so beautiful and let you explore new combinations, as for example jasmine tea and pistachio. I am adding pictures of our dishes because they were just so beautiful. Make sure to reserve a place! It is very much worth it to go there; this restaurant is a whole experience
