La Villa Lorraine has received a mix of praise and criticism. While many diners commend the exquisite dishes and elegant ambiance, some have expressed concerns about service quality and value for money. Notably, the restaurant lost one Michelin star in the 2025 guide, which may influence perceptions.

It has always been our favorite place for quality time around the table (private or professional).
Our last experience was on Friday 8/11/24 to celebrate an anniversary (4 people) with a five courses menu and wine pairing.The place is gorgeous, the valet is a gentlemen, the food is outstanding but the team and service was not welcoming.
For instance, the oenologist looked like he was irritated working, serving quick and leaving fast. At some point, he even stopped making a wine presentation and description. When we asked the manager for more information about the wine, he called the oenologist back who showed up annoyed and just mentioned the name of a grape variety and left as fast
As for the rest of the service, the all team seemed to be in a rush and puting pressure on us to move on. Two times, they removed the plates before everyone was finished eating.
This time we haven’t seen the chef -  Yves Matagne - which might explain the behavior of his team.
Anyway, the quality relaxing time was not there which is a pity knowing that it was what we loved about that place.
It’s like getting a massage as if everybody around is stressed, pushing you…
Anyway, we paid more than 1K and would  really appreciate it if the issues described above would be addressed, as this is what is expected from a 2 star Michelin restaurant.

We had an absolutely fantastic dinner here - 7 course tasting menu with wine pairings. Every single dish was perfect and all 7 courses went very well together. I’ve genuinely never had cod or duck done in the way they did it - the texture, the flavours, the presentation were mind blowing.
The sommelier was excellent - even changed the wine to a white when she overheard my boyfriend say he preferred drier whites to sweet red wines. Everything was timed perfectly with good breaks between courses. It meant we could really enjoy the whole experience without feeling rushed or too full.
And they remembered my boyfriend’s birthday and brought out a cake which we took back to London to extend the experience even more!
Currently ranks no.1 on my list of Michelin tasting menus (so better than some 3 stars we’ve tried this year).
