I was lucky enough to be treated to lunch at Le Manoir as I was celebrating a special birthday. It certainly exceeded expectations and was outstanding. In fact, it was one of the best restaurant experiences we have had in this country. We were taken...care of from the moment we arrived to when we departed. All the staff was friendly and welcoming. The atmposhere felt more relaxed than I was expecting, with some guests in casual dress. We enjoyed drinks on the terrace before lunch and were lucky with the weather. We did not feel rushed at any time. We had a tasting menu with a flight of wines and everything was exquisitely presented and delicious. The service was excellent and slick. The sommelier carefully informed us on our selection of wine and each one complimented the dish with which it was served. Oh and what a wonderful choice of bread! After lunch, we were able to choose a table to sit at in the garden. The waitress quickly found us and knew exactly who was having each drink although she had not been serving us at lunch. An example of the attention to detail we experienced throughout our time there. Later we had a wander through the beautiful gardens. No one seemed to be worried about where we were although we had not paid at that stage. It all felt relaxed and we felt very much at home. What a treat! I am now trying to come up with an excuse to go back!More
