Review:
We booked a mid-week package which included one night’s accommodation, dinner and breakfast.
The service from the moment we arrived to the moment we left was exceptional.
The tasting menu (Les Classiques du Manoir) was full of dishes which celebrated the fresh seasonal ingredients that are grown in Le Manoir’s own garden.
Every dish was unpretentious, elegant and delicious. In addition, the skilled sommelier advised us of a wine that we would not have chosen ourselves, but suited the food impeccably.
Our review would not be complete without some comment about the breakfast. In a word, exquisite.
We were greeted with an array of everything you would wish for in a breakfast including the most delicate and fluffy tomato and herb omelette.
Again the staff exceeded themselves.

Unlike The Fat Duck, M Blanc still offers a Menu du Jour at £52.50 which is excellent.
I rate Le Manoir’s set meal together with Le Gavroche, The Waterside Inn and Hibiscus (2 Sept 2010 – not sure about Hibiscus anymore. See article on Hibiscus) as the great set lunches of Haute Cuisine.
I’ll let you all into a little secret. The best value deal with Le Manoir is to go for a conference, you get the Menu du Jour and all sorts of cakes/biscuits for coffee and tea all included as part of the package.
