Gault&Millau's review2026
Blending tradition and modernity, the restaurant of Thibaut Ruggeri, winner of the 2013 Bocuse d’Or, reflects the character of these historic sites—which are home not only to the Plantagenet royal necropolis but also to a contemporary art space. With each new moon, the chef invites us on a journey filled with rituals, such as the “fontevriste” soup, which adapts to the seasons (a cucumber gazpacho with dried bread powder at the start of summer) as well as creative dishes like these vertical strands of zucchini intertwined around a chilled cheese; the view of an interior garden doesn’t stop us from savoring hake marinated in a local red wine, with salicornia juice and beef marrow, while the artichoke prepared two ways delivers a powerful burst of flavor; the duck, with its sauce of blood, wine, and sherry vinegar, pairs perfectly with a cabbage that’s bright green on top yet tender on the inside, accompanied by candied stems. After the traditional pre-dessert of delicate macarons, honey, and mead, apricots take center stage in all their forms: as a compote served with fennel sorbet or in a tangy tartlet. The plates are arranged like a painting by a chef with a passion for music and photography, who provides us with a detailed map of the grounds and the vegetable garden on paper—not to mention the lunar calendar. There’s no doubt that the monks of yesteryear would be both reassured by the monastic, minimalist nature of each dish and surprised by the creative talent of a chef who crafts a cuisine focused on the essentials, where the superfluous has no place.
