Le Grapillon - Melun

We went to Melun for a music festival on weekends. We were looking for something to eat and happened in this place. We ate outside; the staff was exceptionally beautiful and the food was wonderful and quite expensive. We would definitely return.

The most delicious meal we had this vacation was in this small restaurant decorated like a cave. The staff does not speak much English but were not upset with our badly phrased French when we ordered dinner. Two dinners, an appetizer and a very good...bottle of Gigondas wine cost about $100.

We ate well but there was no wow factor. The tastes were a little muted. The service was efficient. On the whole quite expensive for what was served, but the wine bar ambience is very pleasant.

I have gone to this place several times in the last 3-4 years. The menu does not change much but it is nicely varied and (as is the fashion these days) appeals to more modern tastes. Even so, fans of French traditional cooking would not...be disappointed here. Good wine list, also available by the glass, and waiters are knowledgeable about what goes with what and will make good suggestions. I find the prices very reasonable for the quality. At last visit, it is only open at lunchtime (Tuesday to Saturday). After lunch go for a walk out at the chateau Vaux-le-Vicompte

During a quick stay in Melun we were recommended to this restaurant by b and b owners where we were. The lady asked us what we were after and our answer was medium range: not fast food or cheap joint, but not ostentatious... Either... that was right. fresh food tastefully presented. If I wanted to be picky, the portions are small and the tapas menu does not offer many dishes that are not deep roasted. Nevertheless, I would like to recommend this restaurant.
