An exceptional dining experience in Fontainebleau
On the corner of the pedestrianised Rue des Sablons, L'Orée des Sablons has established itself in just a few months as one of Fontainebleau’s most remarkable fine-dining destinations. Taken over in early 2025 by Sylvain Bouscarat, a seasoned professional who trained at Ferrandi and has spent ten years at the helm of a Parisian brasserie; the restaurant owes its culinary identity to the chef Kévin Pernette.
A chef with a remarkable career
Kévin Pernette has forged its expertise in prestigious houses:
- the Bristol in Paris,
- Christian Têtedoie in Lyon,
- Alexandre Mazzia (three stars) in Marseille.
Finalist in the World Hare Championship à la Royale in 2017 and 2018, winner of the Masse Trophy in Paris in 2016, he also won the 4th place Chefs en Or 2018.
A record of success that can be seen on every plate.
Awards and recognition
L’Orée des Sablons is listed in the Michelin Guide 2026 selection and bears the title of Maître Restaurateur, a guarantee of cuisine prepared using fresh produce, crafted on the premises by a true artisan. In Fontainebleau, it’s is currently the only restaurant to combine these two distinctions.
Creative, locavore and graphic cuisine
The menu, which changes every month with the seasons, revisits the great French classics with a bold personal touch.

The ingredients come from a network of carefully selected local partners These include eggs from Ferme des Galaches in Chailly-en-Bière, meat from Boucheries Nivernaises and mature cheeses from Laurent Beaufort in Moret-sur-Loing.
