Veronica's Take

Set in the restored stables of the historic Mortemart family home, 40km outside Paris, Le Doyenné Saint-Vrain is a culinary gem that has claimed the No. 77 spot on the World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 list. Australian chefs Shaun Kelly and James Henry lead this farm-to-table experience, serving dishes crafted from produce grown on the estate using regenerative agricultural practices. Guests dine beneath soaring wooden eaves, savoring a meal that harmonizes with the serene views of the charming cottage garden.
