Gault&Millau's review 2026

Olivier Nasti du Chambard's daughter, Manon, and her partner, Lucas di Palma, have transformed this former 17th-century presbytery, where Marshal Lefèbvre grew up from 1755 to 1773, into a guest house. More refined than decorative, the contemporary bistro-style dining room features judicious lighting and quality materials, such as this lovely Versailles parquet floor. The cuisine is resolutely transalpine, as the chef's parents have roots in Molise. It's in the "primi piatti" that we benefit most from this mamma know-how: the tasty paccherie arrabiata are reminiscent of those at Da Vittorio in Brusaporto. Succulent beef cheeks are served with a short, aromatic jus that clumsily coats a creamy polenta. Paired with fennel in two ways, the high-quality cod is treated with care and cooked with mother-of-pearl, even if we regret that the dish is devoid of salt. The wine list, which is mainly Italian, includes a detailed commentary on each vintage. The sourdough bread from the Chambard bakery is a pure delight. The highlight of the meal? Dessert, for the chef is first and foremost a talented pastry chef. The chocolate cake, for example, is worthy of the greatest pastry chefs, with a perfectly balanced bitter ganache, sublime vanilla ice cream and smooth chocolate cream.
