Gault&Millau's review 2026

The inn, at the heart of the Balzacian universe, has also been a renowned restaurant for 25 years. Long run by Xavier Aubrun and Thierry Jimenez, who held three toques for ten years, it has now been given a new lease of life by Kévin Gardien and his partner Stéphanie. The young chef, who pays close attention to responsible production, makes good use of local resources, combining rustic tradition with an elegantly contemporary touch, notably in beautiful land-sea combinations such as snacked scallops with Huismes watercress, confit potatoes with hazelnut butter, or the pearly cod with shitakés from the Breuil cellars, walnuts and miso jus before a good lemon dessert, a little more anodyne. The discourse in the dining room is a little recitative, but the house is still evolving. Interesting cellar, very erudite in Loire, well led by a passionate young sommelier, and reinforced by a coherent choice of non-alcoholic beverages from Nivers.
