"This Michelin-starred institution, located in a vine-covered old manor just north of the city, got a fresh update when the former owner’s son, Mathieu Pérou, took over four years ago. With his sister, Anne-Charlotte, in charge of the dining room, the 28-year-old chef and his team serve up inventive dishes with ingredients sourced from nearly 40 producers around the Erdre river — from lamb and seaweed to freshwater fish — a commitment that earned them a Green Star (in recognition of sustainable cooking practices) from the Michelin Guide in 2021.
