MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

On the outskirts of Blois, this 1930s building overlooks the River Loire, whose waters are reflected in the dining room. Anthony and Fumiko Maubert (he is French, she is Japanese) have chosen this location to ply their trade. For a long time, Anthony worked alongside Arnaud Donckele (La Vague d'Or), while Fumiko has a twin vocation of nutritionist and pastry chef – indeed, her creations are remarkable for their lightness and low added sugar content. Every morning (assa in Japanese), this couple devises the daily menu together, drawing on produce of impeccable quality and numerous Japanese condiments and ingredients. Sanshō berries, wild yuzu, nori seaweed broth, matcha tea and azuki red bean paste are harmoniously combined with the handiwork of small-scale producers based in the Loire area.

Gastronomy & Sustainability

MICHELIN Green Star

"Our producers, all located within a 20-minute radius of the restaurant, have in common a respect for their land and their animals. We use all the pieces of our animals, which we buy whole, and explain to our customers that we do not sacrifice an animal just for the best pieces. All crates are returned to the producer: we do not throw away any packaging. The minimal food waste from the restaurant is consumed by our hens."

— Anthony Maubert
