Gault&Millau's review 2026

In an alleyway just a stone's throw from the château, push open the gate to discover a veranda in front of a small garden where chef Dominique Soret serves market-fresh cuisine from listed producers. Her dishes combine Japanese influences, such as oyster tartare with kakigori ice cream, which covers wasabi cream in a flashy pink hue, and Mediterranean influences, such as a sea bass "like in Essaouira", with its scales, saffron potatoes and seasonal vegetables; dessert is in the same spirit, with mimosa ice cream, dune immortelle sorbet and fleur de sel caramel; the wine list, essentially organic, allows us to discover wines from Vendée, based on chardonnay and pinot noir; a toque confirmed for a €39 menu, which can be replaced by a whole roasted lobster with fresh herb butter for €85.
