One Star: High quality cooking
Le Moulin de la Gorce is first and foremost a family affair. In the 1970s, Jean Bertranet, a renowned pastry chef from Limoges, transformed this superb Renaissance mill, set in romantic grounds complete with a lake, into a hotel and restaurant. The chef, who worked for Vincent Auriol back in the day, turned the place into quite an institution in the area. For almost a quarter of a century, his son Pierre followed in his footsteps, flying the flag of fine dining tradition, thanks to his beautifully delicate cooking that reinterprets the French classics and respects the ingredients. Now it is his family and team that will be taking up the mantle and keeping this culinary heritage alive.
