Auberge de Crisenoy

It's a Cinderella of restaurants. Something you don't expect, where you don't expect to find it. Bring your Google map app, because although the nearest city is Melun, Crisenoy is a world apart. Be prepared for a gracious welcome, an excellent menu, and near-perfect service...More

We ate here for lunch.The place is a small, quaint restaurant built into the adjacent homes and other businesses on a very quiet street in a lovely small town.The maitresse d' is a lovely, attractive, smartly dressed lady, whom we surmise is the owner (my French guest concurred).The restaurant is quite lovely; a little bit tavern with its exposed ceiling timbers, and a little elegant with its lovely curtains, and if it classed up its wall sconces just a bit, could be even better. The place very clean and is obviously loved.We had a full day planned, so we decided just to have an entre. I had a trio of meats including a delightful beef filet, a terrine of pork and duck breasts. This was served with roasted vegetables, and liqeur-infused grapes. My wife had a wonderful beef fillet topped with foie gras. Everything was cooked to perfection and elegantly served. The portions were generous -- best we hadn't gotten appetizers.We drank a lovely Meursault (the more expensive of the two (about E70), which was one of the best whites we had in France the whole week. Glassware was immaculate.The service was relaxed and gentile.The food was inexpensive by European standards especially for what you got.If you're visiting the Vaux le Vicomte 10 minutes away, this is the place to eat -- outstanding and a relative bargain!

Ok this place rocks. Love the ambiance and setting in an old chateau. Excellent and prompt service with great wine selection. We had a white burgundy. The menu is in french only but the servers speak some english but i was lucky to joined by french speaking colleagues. I had a guinea fowl which was moist and yummy. Will need to come back to check out the rest of the menu. Get the dessert otherwise u will miss out.

I was taken to this Auberge during a site visit to a local company. Typical French Auberge what seemed to be off the beaten track. Very friendly Patronne, choice of dining areas, a terrace available as well.The food was well presented and showed some flare with presentation. They did the reveal with the "cloches" for the main course felt it was out of place in such an establishment.Good value for money, would recommend.

A lovely little restaurant very close to the Chateaux Vaux Le Vicomte, in a very picturesque village, Melun. We sat outside and enjoyed the chef's menu that was very good and amazingly priced, very good value. My only gripe with the place is the plastic furniture for the outdoor seating, that should be upgraded to something better such as teak. Took a little bit away from what would otherwise have been a great experience.
