Gault&Millau's review 2026

This imposing, somewhat austere house in the heart of the town is several centuries old. The hotel's restaurant is well worth a visit. Admittedly, the dining room doesn't open onto the outside, but the charm is there: contemporary-style furniture contrasts with the thick stone walls and whitewashed beams. Colorful paintings and elegant lighting complete the setting. In the kitchen, the very young Paul Vedrenne demonstrates a promising sense of cooking. He gets right to the heart of the matter: a delightful pâté en croûte with pork, sweetbreads and Guémené andouille sausage with a pineau des charentes jelly and mustard seed jus, or pan-fried squid with Espelette pepper, accompanied by lightly lemony salsify and a creamy beet cream that's a little overpowering. A refreshing finish with citrus crisp and verbena cream. Efficient, friendly service. Small wine list.
