Gourmet Restaurant

Back to nature, rather than back to the Stone Age, in this modern and welcoming inn, where we get back to basics. Taste and sincerity are paramount for Maïté and Florent in this precious natural environment, close to the Bercé forest, in the land of clog-makers and jasnières vineyards. The two young chefs complement each other in the same spirit of highlighting natural products, in a respectful and revealing approach: haddock poached in milk with broccoli mousseline and horseradish cream, celery root risotto with buckwheat, burnt vanilla and peanuts for a vegetal dish, braised ham hock with honey and ginger cabbage kimchi... Simple, well-crafted desserts featuring seasonal fruits (creamy roasted pear with Java pepper), cellar highlighting nearby winemakers.
