Gault&Millau's review 2026

One of the valley's finest hotel châteaux, Le Prieuré dominates the Loire Valley with its majestic Renaissance tufa architecture. The house is showing its mettle with chef Richard Prouteau, who has given it a beautiful local color while defending a high-flying cuisine, acquired in particular from MOF Didier Aniès: scallop carpaccio with wasabi lemon vinaigrette, red meat crudité and coral tuile, "Royal d'Anjou" quail with endiveoupeton and chestnuts, mustard grape juice gel and lovage-scented juice, quince and pear compression, caramelized puff pastry, cocoa crumble, sorbet, aceto balsamico, for a good introductory menu at €59, in this superb room with large bay windows opening onto the river. Good service, well-stocked Loire cellar.
