Gault&Millau's review 2026
Gourmet Restaurant
On the banks (or nearly so) of the Gartempe, right across from the pretty République Bridge, Alban Galpin operates two dining venues within his Hôtel de France: an affordable à la carte bistro and this Lucullus, which offers a more ambitious menu but now struggles to live up to our two-toque standard despite its solid foundation. The foie gras escalope with Poivrade artichokes, mushroom duxelles, and chilled Thai broth makes for a lovely starter; the veal sweetbreads prepared Karrage-style with butter, garlic and parsley, artichokes, and mojette bean hummus is both generous and well-executed, but the desserts—far too run-of-the-mill—and the wine list, which is limited mainly to wines from outside the Loire Valley, could use a bit more attention.
