Three Stars: Exceptional cuisine
On the outskirts of Rambouillet Forest, chef Cybèle, who also runs the Table de Cybèle in Boulogne Billancourt, fell in love with this estate dating from 1850, where she now grows practically everything she cooks according to permaculture methods… Fresh greens thus play a pivotal role, flanked by fermentation techniques and produce from local growers. The bread, butter and yoghurt are all homemade and the wine list is rich in biodynamic and natural vintages. The interior displays a Scandinavian slant and offers five pretty guestrooms for peaceful wellness retreats.
MICHELIN Green Star
"Ruche is at the heart of a hectare of wooded parkland. The permaculture kitchen garden with its mounds, mandala, greenhouse and “fruit forest” supplies the bulk of the produce for chef Cybèle Idélot’s table ; the meat comes from neighbouring farms, and the line-caught fish from the Ile d’Yeu. The no-waste philosophy means using the whole ingredient – trimmings, leaves and preservation by fermentation. The wines are biodynamic or “natural”."
