Gault&Millau's review 2026

Studies at Sciences Po lead to everything, even cooking with plants in this little square behind the station, where four wolves... sculpted in bronze, walk around. Here, ancient grains and vegetables are worked in their entirety, like the grass stalks used in a green oil on a beet tartar with candied egg yolk; the homemade gnocchi snacked on a fennel cream are accompanied for freshness by an arugula salad and fennel just grilled under hazelnuts; the warm financier is accompanied for the herbaceous side by a melilot cream. A clean, straightforward cuisine that's not just a plate of vegetables, but the culmination of working with seasonal produce. The wine list gives pride of place to natural, forgotten grape varieties such as Pineau d'Aunis or Grolleau, but you can also enjoy pairings with kombuchas or non-alcoholic beers. A fine address that completes the rich gastronomic panorama of the Anjou region with a well-deserved toque.
