Auberge Ravoux dite Maison de Van Gogh
About
The Auberge Ravoux, affectionately known as the "Maison de Van Gogh", offers an immersive culinary journey that harks back to the late 19th‑century cafés of Paris. Set in the historic village of Auvers‑sur‑Oise, the restaurant maintains the original décor of the former inn, with polished oak tables, lace‑trimmed linens, and a curated selection of fine wines that accompany each dish. A signature feature is the continuous buffet of charcuterie and cheese, presented alongside artisanal breads and pastries that capture the essence of French hospitality. Guests can indulge in the famed "déjeuner chez Ravoux", available daily from 12:00 to 18:00, with prices ranging from €12 for simple fare to €49 for the most elaborate stations—always excluding beverages. For a more intimate experience, the restaurant offers private bookings between 19:00 and 00:00, allowing visitors to host celebrations in the entire dining space, guinguette, and clubhouse. Beyond its culinary delights, the Auberge Ravoux is a living museum: the flat‑backed room where Van Gogh spent his final days (Chambre n°5) stands adjacent, offering silent, contemplative reflections of the artist’s legacy. The dining room’s ambience, history, and the proximate museum stories turn each visit into a poetic tribute to art, culture, and gastronomy. Whether you’re a food lover, an art enthusiast, or simply seeking an authentic slice of French heritage, the Auberge Ravoux guarantees a memorable yet relaxed experience in a setting that feels simultaneously historic and welcoming.
