La Capitainerie

La Capitainerie Review

Housed in the stone-vaulted kitchens of the Château de Chantilly's legendary 17th-century chef Vorace Vatel, with an open-hearth fireplace big enough for whole lambs or oxen to sizzle on the spit, this quaint restaurant—which offers buffet or à la carte—is one of the best museum cafeterias you will ever encounter. Reflect at leisure on your cultural peregrinations over mouthfuls of grilled turbot or roast quail, and don't forget to add a good dollop of homemade crème de Chantilly to your dessert.
