Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons

Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons Review

Standards are high at this 15th-century stone manor house, a hotel with a cooking school and one of the country's finest kitchens. Chef Raymond Blanc's epicurean touch shows at every turn. Decide from among such innovative French creations as duck breast with chicory, jasmine tea, and raisin sauce. Try one of the fixed-price menus ranging from £95 to £135; the set-price lunch can be a good deal at £62.50. A stroll through the hotel's herb and Japanese tea gardens is de rigueur. The pretty town of Great Milton is 7 mi southeast of Oxford.
