Aux Armes de France – Modern Cuisine in Évry, Recommended by Michelin

A Modern Vision in a Historic Setting

In the town of Corbeil-Essonnes, just outside Évry, Aux Armes de France occupies what was once a coaching inn. Today, it is a destination for modern cuisine that balances refinement with generosity. The restaurant has earned a place in the Michelin Guide, which notes its “généreuses en saveurs” recipes and describes a setting that is “feutrée” (softly lit) with a “charmant” welcome.

Chef Yohann Giraud and the Dining Experience

The kitchen is led by Chef Yohann Giraud, whose career includes stints at celebrated Parisian addresses such as Taillevent, Le Meurice, and La Grande Cascade. His cooking draws on the best of the terroir, presenting a modern take on French gastronomy that feels both elegant and approachable. In the dining room, Christelle Michaut—herself a veteran of the Trianon Palace, the Ritz, and La Grande Cascade—oversees a service that is discreet and attentive. The atmosphere is chic and warm, a place where the precision of the plate meets genuine hospitality.

The menus change frequently, built around fresh, seasonal market produce. Standout dishes highlighted by the Michelin Guide include turbot sautéed with morels in cream and a millefeuille with caramel sauce. For those who wish to recreate the experience at home, Aux Armes de France also offers a sophisticated takeaway menu, with options such as macaronis stuffed with foie gras, celeriac, and truffle, gratinéed with parmesan.

Private Dining and Bespoke Services

Beyond the main dining room, the restaurant offers three private salons, making it a versatile choice for family celebrations, business dinners, or seminars. A dedicated service for businesses provides meal trays and catering for meetings. The team also creates custom dishes—on-site or to take away—for groups of six or more, covering everything from baptisms to weddings.
