One Star: High quality cooking
After a tour of Saint Philibert Abbey, take a break on these enchanting terraces. Bare stone walls and large untreated solid oak tables set the scene indoors, flooded in light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. The peaceful garden and attentive service lavished by the chef’s wife are also outstanding. Chef Jean-Michel is an enthusiast, capable of changing his gourmet offering from one table to another in the same evening. His approach is entirely instinctive. His food is thus rich in emotion and establishes a natural complicity with the region, particularly through the use of first-rate local fruit and vegetables and other top-quality ingredients, whilst compromising nothing in terms of high-precision cooking. His weekday lunchtime Market menu is a bargain!

"The majority of the organic or sustainable agriculture produce we use comes from farms located within a 50km radius around Tournus. Most of the wines on our wine list are made according to the rules of biodynamic agriculture."
