• La Mare aux Oiseaux★ Michelin A globetrotter and keen ornithologist, (with birds fluttering freely in his garden,) Éric Guérin has invented a universe that is uniquely his own. On an island ringed by circular canals, in the heart of the Brière Regional Nature Park, he has immersed himself in his terroir, all the better to serve up his own superb take on it. Indeed, the chef is an artist at heart, whose first passion is "creating". It is in the kitchen that he has found "his mode of expression", and for that we are grateful to him! Using first-class ingredients, he crafts appealing "natural" dishes that are rife with person12.4km

It was opened by a couple of professionals (who met at William Ledeuil's Ze Kitchen Gallery, in Paris); he operates in the kitchen, she front of house. The chef proves himself to be a master craftsman who leaves nothing to chance, and you can expect fresh, local produce based on seasonal availability, gentle and precise cooking, flavours and colours.

Alban Chartron and Sarah Alba have brought with them the expertise they acquired in prestigious Michelin-starred establishments (Ducasse, Pic, Crillon), ploughing it into a menu they describe as "pastoral". Their cuisine is generous, well-crafted and often enhanced by just the right amount of peppers and spices. The dishes are run through with authentic accents: juicy po27.3km

The impeccable quality of the dishes benefits from the chef's network of suppliers. From the fried prawn amuse-bouche to the new take on vitello tonnato, and not forgetting the smoked trout, everything is on point. The service, provided by a young, smiling team, is the epitom34.8km
