Gault&Millau's review 2025

Located just a stone's throw from the Château de Chenonceau, the Auberge du Cheval Rouge is a former village café where chef Jacques Guillaumat officiates. The menu features the classics of French cuisine, with a few timid hints of revisitation here and there; for example, a starter of tatin of duck confit and diced pan-fried foie gras, hazelnut crumble and Parmesan shortbread; or for dessert, an exotic macaroon, pineapple poached in a spicy syrup and bourbon vanilla cream. We appreciate the precision of the seasonings and the work on the reductions, in particular the piece of lamb, vegetable casserole with fresh coriander and its reduced thyme juice, which we take pleasure in sautéing so as not to lose a crumb. A fine choice of wines by the glass to accompany it all.
