A visit to Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons has been on my bucket list for such a long time and today we achieved that. The warm welcome when we arrived and attention of staff made us feel special. The meal was outstanding with each course having...its only tatse bombs hidden, the little mint gel spots on the lamb dish just gave the lamb another perspective who knew you could get something so tasty in something so small. The "liquorice" mini magnums on the petit fours were definately a favourite. The whole place just gave a very relaxed feel. After lunch we walked around the grounds and gardens enjoying the knowledge that what is grown in the vegetable gardens is used in the kitchen - seasonal cookery at its best. Stunning place, hopefully one day we will be back.More

We dined here on 14th May and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I call it an experience because although the food takes centre stage, the supporting acts from arrival and welcome through cocktails and dinner to kitchen staff, the entire experience is provided by staff with...the utmost professionalism. Highlights for me were the scallop, the mackerel and the lamb main course. Our visit was made very special by Chef Theo who was generous with his time and patient with our many questions. It was a genuine education to see just how much kitchen work goes into the preparation of our meal. The precision, the order, the discipline, the adherence to process, the cooperation and teamwork were both admirable and a delight to see. Congrats to all involved in providing us with a remarkable dining experience.More

A truly memorable evening and a never to be forgotten experience. Yes it is expensive but the meal (7 course Tasting Menu) was absolutely amazing. We tasted food that we have never had before and experienced some food that normally (for me anyway) I had...disliked but here was more than enjoyable (under statement). I have never spent 7hours at a restaurant before but we arrived around 5pm for a 6pm meal. The first 30 mins we looked around the wonderful gardens before we went in for drinks before being called through for our dinner. After the meal (we were never rushed at any stage) we sat and had a few more drinks before leaving by taxi at midnight. All the staff were delightful and made our evening so very enjoyable. We were fortunate to meet Raymond before our meal and he stood with us for photos as well as a quick chat.More

I had high expectations for Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons Restaurant and it did not disappoint. The attention to detail in every aspect from the presentation of the food to the décor of the restaurant was impressive. The dishes were beautifully crafted and tasted incredible.

We have been to many Michelin stared restaurants over the last 10 years and Le Manoir will linger in the memory for a very long time. Exceptional food, great service, wonderful gardens and a gorgeous house/hotel. A (70th) birthday treat that was worth the money,...which delivered a dining experience that was as good as it gets. Well done to all the 'team'; from the chefs to the front of house, Raymond must be very proud of you. We will be back......More

Our third visit to dine. (Also had one visit to attend a cookery class). First visit with friends (their 1st trip). The food was, once again, excellent. Real bursts of flavour. We even got to meet Raymond Blanc who explained his vision of inclusiveness for...dining. He was charming. We left the car over night and walked back in the morning to pick it up and have a look round the gardens. We chatted to one of the gardeners who explained the expansion plans for a vineyard and market garden. He seemed genuinely excited about the project.More

I visited as a party of four to celebrate a wedding anniversary. It has been a long standing aspiration to dine at this renowned, prestigious restaurant and we were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel like special guests. We...all chose the tasting menu accompanied by one of the recommended flights of wine. We were not disappointed. The gardens were a delight and rounded off our visit nicely. A big thank you to all of the wonderful staff, those front of house and those behind the scene including the facilities manager who we bumped into in the garden.More

Magical,if i could i would give it 11 starsor higher. We were treated to a sublime experience from driving through the gates until leaving. Every single member of staff had a masters degree in customer service, friendly, knowledgeable, and a real pleasure in their positions,...yes i did ask them! From stories after dinner, personal service at turndown, to the cheerful greeting and help this morning. The dinner was mindblowing and we are foodies always have been, wine superb, gin fantastic, cocktails with a punch. I was so nervous with anticipation as this has always been a bucketlist dream, i was truly emotional with our stunning upgrade to the Hydrangea suite and so fearful of being over the top with my reaction. However nothing was left unturned in the hotels dedication to their guests. We definitely will return, life is for living and if i could i would make a stay here compulsory for everyone at least once. Thank you 'Sante' to the next time.More

What can you say, a great intimate country setting, without a doubt the best service and and food, we have experienced. Stayed overnight in one of the Garden rooms. Enjoyed it so much we wandered the Heritage Gardens the next day and only reluctantly left...after Afternoon Tea on the Lawn. A Venue that without a doubt, i can say we will return too.More

The most amazing food and venue for a 60th birthday. We started with a garden tour with José. This was very fun and interesting. Great to see the grounds. Then we came in to eat. Wine and food flight was stunning. Every course had multiple...layers and perfectly paired with some exquisite wines. Served by tremendous knowledgeable staff Homer and the effervescent Edith with her weight laden cheese trolley, was an absolute delight, making us giggle for hours. Finished with the visit of Raymond Blanc, himself. Awestruck to be honest. Thank you so much for a glorious day.More

On arriving at the Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons you are made to feel like royalty. Even more so when you are recognised from a previous visit. Every single member of the team treats you with friendly deference. Even though there are several very comfortable sitting...rooms in which to enjoy an aperitif I favour the bar for this purpose. I find it cosy. While sipping a Bellini we looked at the menu for the day. This had changed from our last visit and now offers a set menu (with options available from the vegetarian menu) naming the seven delicate courses which are suggested. This does not include some canapés and an array of petits fours. This was a celebration of my birthday so we entered the dining with excited anticipation and we were not disappointed with anything on our plates throughout the meal. We started with a ceviche of scallop Seville orange & Baux-de-Provence olive oil. This was followed by confit of Chalk Stream trout, bergamot & Passe Crassane pear and then a stuffed morel with white asparagus and Gewurtztraminer. Next we had Devonshire Creedy Carver duck with mandarin, turnip & chicory. Following this were exotic fruits with jasmine rice & coconut and finally, a theme on citrus fruits. The word finally is misplaced because we then were given some petit fours which we enjoyed before adjourning to the bar to take coffee and digestifs. EVERY SINGLE MORSEL THAT PASSED MY LIPS WAS SUBLIME! If you are wary of the cost of dining at the Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons just save fivers in a bottle and go! You will not regret the bill!More

OMG..! What an evening..! From the moment we set sights on the building, the magic began. The grounds are pristine, the service is outstanding and the food… It’s fair to say that this was one of the best tasting menus that we have had the...pleasure to taste so far. The combination of flavours, the textures, the flavours - every dish was simply exceptional! The trout and the mackerel dishes will definitely be etched in my memory for a long time, if not forever. And the birthday celebration was made even more special by the candlelit atmosphere throughout the meal. The price tag is higher but definitely justified and I would recommend a visit to anyone and everyone. I haven’t stopped talking about it since..!More

Yes, it was 12.5% added to the bill. I guess it was discretionary but it's a reasonable amount and considering that the service from beginning to end is faultless, it's difficult to disagree. Contrast Winteringham Fields... More
