We had a wonderful time eating lunch there. All dishes and desserts were delicious. all aspects of the experience are being taken care of by the students who are enthusiast and really nice. The service was excellent. it is a great way to experience the French culinary, gastronomy, tradition and "art of the table". All of that for a very reasonable price. Chapeau.

Went there for a family lunch and had the best time ! The waiters are all lovely, caring and listen to our requirements (I am allergic to fruits so I asked for none and it was respected!) and the food was amazing ! Definitely recommend!

Restaurant Vatel is an experience to be had. The place is high standard yet the freshness yet profeciency in the making of the staff (being on training/practice) makes it a unique moment. The food in your plates is flawless. Some of the highlights of the course have to be the cheeseboard where you get to revise your list of cheeses (with them) followed by... the dessert board.

We had a great time. The students were attentive and responded to all our questions. All service was with a smile :) Really enjoyed the food, especially the hundreds of cake options!!

This is an excellent restaurant, where french food is great and workers are smiling and very kind. Moreover, which is important for events preparation, the "directeur de salle", Monsieur Venฤ— (?) , is very professional and supportive.
