Best European food near Giverny, France
Find out what European restaurants to try in Giverny. Thank Claude Monet for making this small village, located less than 50 miles northwest of Paris, a global landmark. Not only did the world-famous Impressionist painter live here for over four decades, but his Japanese-inspired garden (and the artist’s restored 19th century home) remain must-see attractions for visitors to France. Art lovers also will want to check out the Musée des Impressionnismes, which houses—as you’d expect—a collection of paintings and special exhibitions highlighting the Impressionist movement. Great for day trippers visiting from Paris, Giverny also offers bed-and-breakfast lodging for those travelers who want to spend the night.

Giverny is a village of 500, so no Michelin restaurants. This is the best in the area and objectively very good. The setting is idea: just outside Monetâs garden and home. The inside is nice and the outside dining is terrific. Like most restaurants, your reaction depends on what you order. We each ordered one of the burgers on the menu, and we ordered the way the French eat meat - sanglant, medium rare. We each felt our burgers were the best we had ever had. Mine came with slow cooked onions, tomatoes, lettuce and Normandy cheese. Mine had fries: twice fried in duck fat ... perfect. My wife ordered a side salad which was fresh and lightly dressed. We eat burgers maybe twice each year, but if they were all like these, it would be once each month.Good afternoon, Thank you for your great feedback.We are really pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time with us and the burgersAll your great comments have been passed onto our team.We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

We called in on the off chance of getting a table without a reservation and were made most welcome. The venue is spotless, it's only been open for 3 years, and is becoming established. The Gigot d'agneau was brilliant. You must add this to your listhello, thank you for your opinion and comments from the team of Estampille-by-Erisay. We are very happy to have met your expectations.

The restaurant is right next to the parking by Monets gardens. It was a warm day so we sat outside on the terrace, which overlooks their own little flower and vegetable gardens which is quite nice. The service was friendly, food arrived fast (so fast that you understand that it is not cooked to order - we took the chicken skewers and they had obviously been waiting on the grill BUT, despite that they tasted very good). Had ice cream as dessert and the apple sorbet was fantastic. The price level is about what you can expect at a similar place and location.

Our family stopped here during a visit to Monet's gardens and enjoyed a delightful meal. The pizza quatre fromages was the favourite with generous amounts of contrasting cheese for a very interesting pizza. The crust was Naples-style, thin, with no hint of a crust, and cooked to perfection. Service was especially friendly and the outdoor seating area was nicely shaded from the sun.

We were only in Vernon/Giverny for a night, but fortunately our hotel booked for us in advance. The room is small and lively, and it fills up fast. Great oysters, lovely mixed salad, eggs with chanterelles, and fantastic lasagna were on our menu. A dinner special offers 3 courses for 21 euros and 4 for 29 euros-plus a glass of good wine! Bargain or not, go because the food is excellent. I couldn't manage dessert, but my husband tried the sorbets and loved them. Service is a bit pressed when the place is full, but we were there to relax and had nowhere else to be.

We were going to the gardens the next day and this was close to our lodging and the gardens. We found it by recommendation and on trip advisor. I am afraid that with all of us choosing different dishes, we did not care for the food. As a frequent Europeantraveler before you say Awe it is just an American.....really it did not have much to choose from and it was not that tasty. Sorry, because it was such a lovely setting.

We were touring Monet's Gardens in Giverny. We picked this restaurant more or less at random. Our lunch was reasonably priced and excellent. The French restaurants take their cooking seriously. So, even though the restaurant probably does not receive many repeat customers, the food is good.

The restaurant was recommended by the owner of the B and B where we were staying and he booked it for us. It's only a small place- no more than 8-10 tables and all were full. You have your table for the night and there is no rush.We chose to eat from the Discovery menu at 39 euros each as this seemed to be good value.All the food was freshly cooked and beautifully presented - we had no reason to complain at all. The waiters were friendly and spoke excellent English and were more than happy to answer any questions that we had, particularly about the extensive cheese board.Try the strawberry souffle - it is to die for!!!The whole meal experience took about 3 hours which is a long time for the English but it meant that each course was not rushed and at the end, I was not too full to walk back.Thank you for your compliments. They deeply touch us. It was a pleasure for us to serve you and give you advices. Sincerely.

We just had sandwiches as part of their lunch special (which included drinks and desserts). Everything was great - the sandwiches are huge! The place is quirky and fun (inside and outside area) - I was so glad I had read about this place on Tripadvisor before our visit!

Lovely Normandy restaurant, fairly close to my sisters home and about 20 minutes from Giverny. The Restaurant Gabriel looks âFrenchâ from the outside but more Scandinavian modern in the inside with one large room with 60âs wood and Formica tables. Though the room is large it is quite and somehow manages to feel intimate with 60-70s music playing softly in the background. The service was impeccable and the presentation very pleasing to the eye. They promote the products of the region through local producers so everything is fresh. We were each served a delicious cold green pea soup served in a parfait glass. I ordered one of their Menu options, they have several along with a few Ala Cart options. My starter was a shrimp cocktail, again presented beautifully and very tasty. My pork dish was divine and presented on a bed of an incredible chopped mushroom dish. My menu included the appropriate wine accompaniment, which was the only disappointment of the evening â light not full bodied. My sister ordered the filet mignon, again the presentation was lovely however she found the meat touch (she thought it fresh beef rather than aged). Her starter was an absolutely fantastic Foie gras. My brother-in-lawâs selection was the steak tartare which he said he would order again. Another lovely evening in Normandy. Price range 30E to 75E including wine.
