MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

One Star: High quality cooking

Saint Lazare Priory is located in the heart of Fontevraud Abbey, one of Europe’s largest monastic complexes. The former’s cloisters have been morphed into a restaurant by designer Patrick Jouin and architect Sanjit Manku, who have staged a marriage between monastic minimalism and untreated materials to set the scene for Thibaut Ruggeri’s cooking. The latter, who hails from Megève and who won the Bocuse d’Or 2013, learnt the trade with iconic culinary names from Michel Guérard to Georges Blanc. A champion of good food and biodynamic farming, local produce takes pride of place (Racan poultry, Anjou pigeon) in a menu that keeps pace with his garden’s production and the moon.

Gastronomy & Sustainability

MICHELIN Green Star

"At the heart of the Fontevraud – Sustainable City project, the restaurant does its utmost to meet the challenges of sustainable development. The products we work with all come from the local land or the vegetable garden and beehives of the Royal Abbey. Our menu changes every moon, every 29 and a half days, in order to respect the rhythm of the produce as much as possible."

— Thibaut Ruggeri
