We tested the chic and gourmet Garden Barbecue on the terrace of the Trianon Palace Versailles

How about getting away from the hustle and bustle of Paris and into the green? Let's head for the gates of the Château de Versailles, to the Trianon Palace to be precise, for a bucolic and gourmet Garden Barbecue.

In a bohemian atmosphere, the Waldorf Astoria Versailles - Trianon Palace adorns itself with lanterns and sets up its braziers to welcome the Garden Barbecue. In the shade of the sublime historic building and majestic trees, discover this 5-star gourmet offering, ideal for unwinding and feeling like you're on vacation. A real treat awaits you.

The Garden Barbecue fires up its famous Ofyr barbecues, where chefs get down to business for the pleasure of gourmets like us. Let yourself be carried away by the music and atmosphere of the South. Enjoy an evening suspended in a bohemian atmosphere on Thursdays and Fridays, to the sound of an acoustic guitar, and a lounge atmosphere on Saturdays, with a DJ at the helm.

With ingenuity, Executive Chef Frédéric Larquemin reinvents the traditional barbecue. On the terrace, you'll enjoy a €55 barbecue formula that celebrates seasonal vegetables and seafood. Accompanied by grilled potatoes and salad, the offer is truly comprehensive.

On the menu:

• SkeweredBlack Tiger prawns cooked a la plancha, chimichurri sauce
• Rock octopus snacked a la plancha, pequillo condiment
• Skewered vegetables (zucchinis, eggplants, red onions, button mushrooms, red and yellow peppers) roasted over a wood fire, tahina sauce, straw potatoes.

And to complete this magical dinner, talented Pastry Chef Eddie Benghanem delights us with his iced sweets and summer desserts. We loved the Croustillant Cacahuètes-banane with peanut ice cream, and the refined Saint-Honoré with verbena and raspberry.

If you're looking for a moment of relaxation on the outskirts of Paris, the Garden Barbecue is the place to go for a magical experience. A word of advice: take a stroll through the superb gardens of the Château de Versailles to whet your appetite before enjoying a feast until nightfall.
