Gault&Millau's review
16/20
Remarkable Restaurant For the past ten years, Thibaut Ruggeri, Bocuse d'or 2013 winner, has been dining in the image of a place steeped in history, home not only to the royal necropolis of the Plantagenets, but also to a museum of contemporary art. Tradition is respected through a menu that changes with each new moon, while retaining its fontevriste ritual: soup and dry bread, revisited as befits the seasons, and at the start of summer, toasted bread crumbs accompany a cucumber velouté, brunoise and cabbage powder; modernity and creativity are present on every plate, as with this vertical white asparagus in its salted brioche, roasted strips under caviar grains, or this line hake, its marrow, its thin slice of buttered bread toasted instead of the skin, a fish stock sauce deglazed with red wine, then this pink veal pierced with a langoustine, braised endive and a stroke of genius, enhanced by a delicate anchoïade ; desserts are on the same level, with a honey ice cream cone topped with a mead cake, or strawberries in three textures on a basil bean and fresh bean sorbet. The wine list, skilfully built around Loire wines, is enhanced by a young, talented sommelier; the cuisine of this chef, a lover of the arts, changes codes, associating land and sea and vice versa, fruit and vegetables, in an elegant sobriety, a refined purity where the superfluous has no place; a cuisine of the essential confirmed by three toques and one point more.
