The story
Within the walls of the Château de Maffliers, Augustine - La Table du Château occupies a former bourgeois manor that has stood since the 16th century. The restaurant’s own description speaks of a “charismatic place where a distant, romantic atmosphere reigns” – a setting that has hosted figures such as Claude de La Fayette and the Marquis de Briqueville. Today, it offers classic cuisine served in a dining room that looks out onto the Montmorency forest, earning a Michelin Recommended distinction.
The kitchen focuses on French classic cuisine, prepared with the precision that the Michelin guide recognises. No menus or dishes are listed on the website, but the promise is of “refined cuisine” in a “privileged setting.” The restaurant presents itself as a “lieu de vie et de partage” – a living space meant for sharing – and the service is table service, with lunch and dinner available on select days. A bar on site adds to the convivial atmosphere.
The château’s history adds depth to the experience. The property has been a crossroads for notable figures over three centuries, and its preserved character – high ceilings, period details, and a view over the forest – makes every meal feel like a step into another era. Whether you come for a quiet lunch on a Sunday or a dinner on a Thursday evening, Augustine - La Table du Château offers a taste of classic French hospitality in a genuinely historic home.
