Two Stars: Excellent cooking
MICHELIN Green Star
A unique sweet experience, a talented pastry chef
Chef Christophe Dufossé has been thriving in his homeland, as his cooking illustrates. This pretty château set in leafy grounds sports a contemporary conservatory extension. The chef champions organic, self-sufficient and sustainable surf and turf cooking centred on vegetables and produce from the region. Every dish is delicately and generously crafted – and flanked by big-boned, classically curated sauces. Standout dishes include his red mullet à l’unilateral (cooked on one side) with a punchy jus of fish bones, cucumber tagliatelle and an emulsion of fresh almonds or his stunningly unorthodox dessert which features green asparagus, an icy lemon balm foam, olive oil sponge biscuit, finely diced raw asparagus and kalamansi and a sorbet of lemon and lemon balm. Other highlights are the bread and sweets, particularly the lavish dessert trolley.
"The restaurant relies on a network of more than 30 local producers (Angus beef and shallots from Busnes, saffron, fish from the Côte d'Opale...) to encourage short supply chains and reduce the carbon footprint. The kitchen garden (watered by springs from the estate and the moat) and the orchard provide a large proportion of the restaurant's fruit and vegetables. The grounds also feature a citrus variety collection, a small farm (open for visits), a herb garden, beehives and birdhouses."
