Looking for an occasion to make a return trip to this oasis in Oxfordshire.<\/p>\n
Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir Aux Quat’Saison<\/a> is just stunning, situated in the village of\u00a0\u00a0Great Milton\u00a0 just outside Oxford.\u00a0 You can get a train to Haddenham and\u00a0Thame station (10 minutes\u00a0away) or Oxford station (25 minutes away) or if you have money to burn\u00a0 you can always park your helicopter on the private helipad.<\/p>\n The Helicopters were arriving and departing quite frequently when we were there, it was the only thing disturbing the tranquility of the place.<\/p>\n We went for the tasting menu followed by coffee and Petits fours in the garden. One course was a standout (much too everyone’s surprise). It was “stuffed\u00a0courgettes” – I hate courgettes!\u00a0 I have no idea what they did to them, \u00a0but the dish was a talking point for a long time afterwards. The rest of the meal was splendid too.<\/p>\n After lunch, weather permitting it’s nice to be able to wander round the grounds,\u00a0and explore\u00a0the large vegetable patch and\u00a0 Japanese Garden.<\/p>\n My visit was a while ago, before I started photographing my food and surroundings, which is a real shame. All I have now are my memories, one of the strongest of which is how relaxed I felt on the visit. A visit that encompassed one long sunny Sunday afternoon but somehow felt like I had actually been on holiday for a week.<\/p>\n Marks out of 10<\/p>\n Food 8.9<\/p>\n Service 8.9<\/p>\n Ambience 9<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n Return to top page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Looking for an occasion to make a return trip to this oasis in Oxfordshire.
