L'Axel - Tisch reservieren

We stopped in Fontainebleau especially to eat here. The food was very well presented; beautiful and tasty - worth the 1 star Michelin. Unfortunately, it was marred by the bad service. The first server seemed stressed and irritated. He was quite young, and you got the impression that he wanted to be anywhere but there. Throughout lunch I observed how the servers made very little eye contact with customers, almost avoiding tables in case they were asked for something. One customer, sitting on his own at a table opposite, even had to get up and ask for something, because he could not get the attention of any of the servers. We asked for olive oil instead of butter with our bread. It turned out to be bitter and rancid, and when we asked a female server to change it, she rolled her eyes and tutted. However, it was quickly apparent that it was off, so we got some new olive oil. Each course was beautifully presented with a Japanese influence. Quite exquisite. One waiter who was excellent, French - of Korean descent; I believe his name was Antoine; he saved the day with his friendly and professional manner.

While planning our trip to Fontaineblue, I checked TripAdvisor for the #1 restaurant and made a booking in advance. Best food-related decision ever. It's really a shame that some of the reviews speak so lowly of the staff, because the chef who came to personally greet us was obviously a proud and humble man. I've been to a few Michelin starred restaurants before, including a 3-star one in London. Nothing, NOTHING every was this good. While the pictures I took only do it half justice, by the time dessert arrived I had to take a few minutes to recompose myself because the dishes, one after the other, spoke to me in a way no food has ever done so before. It reset my expectations for fine dining, and I can't wait to go back. So delicious! My word...

My husband and I came here for our anniversary as a treat. We ordered the taster menu, which although expensive, was absolutely worth it! The service is perfect, we didn't wait for anything, but at the same time we didn't feel rushed. The food was exquisite, every course looked beautiful and I enjoyed every mouthful! Would absolutely go again.

Food was tasty but pricey though. One can get similar quality food at lower price. Nice decor. Not that attentive servers. Will not go back for sure.

The Sunday lunch was beautifully presented with many choices. A good mix of flavors. Very relaxing pace of courses.
