Le Doyenné Saint-Vrain
No.77 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef
Veronica's Take
Le Doyenné Saint-Vrain, a sleeper hit nestled in the restored stables of a historic château 40km from Paris, just snagged the No.77 spot on the World's 50 Best 2025 list, and it's easy to see why. Helmed by Australian chefs Shaun Kelly and James Henry, this guesthouse eatery serves dishes crafted from produce grown on-site using regenerative farming practices, offering a dining experience that feels both intimate and grand beneath its soaring wooden eaves. The vibe is farm-to-table with a side of luxury, and the fact that it's set in the former Mortemart family stables only adds to the allure of this ultra-exclusive culinary pilgrimage.
