Open every day from 9:00 to 18:30 · on the banks of the Grand Canal
The restaurant on the Grand Canal, in a 1900-style pavilion inside the palace park. The menu is signed by chef Jean-Baptiste Lavergne-Morazzani, the same as at La Table du 11, with well-made French classics and a terrace looking over the water.
The menu
Burgundy snails Label Rouge (€21.50 a dozen), gratinéed onion soup Parisian-style (€12.50), duck confit with orange and cauliflower gratin (€24.50) or Hemingway pepper steak (€34.50). It also serves breakfast from 9:00 and has a children's menu. Next to the restaurant, in season, the guinguette sells galettes, crêpes and ice cream to take away.
Getting there
It is at the end of the garden axis, where the Grand Canal begins, about twenty minutes' walk downhill from the palace. You can also reach it through the park by bike or on the little train. The park is open every day even when the palace is closed, so it is a good option for a Monday.
