La Maison des Bois

We had a wonderful celebration meal yesterday. Everything was perfect – from the moment we approached the door, it was opened and we were made welcome, to the moment we left and the Chef Laurent Lavergne came out to enquire about our experience and say goodbye – and of course more importantly everything in between. We were very happy to have found this excellent restaurant in the area – there are so many mediocre (or downright bad) ones in the St Quentin en Yvelines area that going a bit further afield was worth it.

We were in the area on an errand and hit the GPS rather haphazardly looking for a restaurant but what a chance to come across La Maison des Bois. Beautiful decor with wonderful old Faience plates dating from the start of the Lavergne family's ownership in 1926 and a perfect terrace overlooking the garden.Perfect service from Jenny Lavergne and her crew and spectacular food from her husband Laurent. A wonderful lobster salad, and sautéed langoustines to start. Hot foie Gras and a navarin of lobster to follow and then the house speciality dessert. Great wine list with reasonable prices.Definitely worth the detour.

I know, it seems a little far from Paris ! But. Not only the location is beautiful, with an old house and a gorgeous garden, but the food is great. A lot of restaurant call themselves Gastronomic, but few are really one. People mix quantity and quality. Not here. The chef is creative, with beautiful products, a perfect cook. You won't regret for coming !!

We enjoyed lunch outside surrounded by a beautiful garden. Food was superb, well prépared well cooked and well presented. Wine was a must and desert just perfect. I had the strawberry souffle and my husband the chocolate cake.
