Gault&Millau's review
15/20
Remarkable Restaurant Lovers of tradition come to treat themselves at Domaine de Clairefontaine, a manor house whose foundations date back to the 17th century, and whose dining rooms have retained the cachet of grand old houses. Philippe Girardon, MOF 1997, perpetuates a classic cuisine based on noble products such as foie gras, pigeon from the Terres Froides and lobster, but he also adds his own know-how and creativity. He likes to showcase local produce such as the traditional Ampuis chard, celeriac from Saint Prim and lobsters from the on-site fish tank. The dishes are refined, the presentations elegant, and the Arctic char confit then grilled is worth the trip alone.
