Where to Eat in France: 10 of the Best Chefs’ Homes Turned Restaurants (And Hotels)

"Set in Ouches and surrounded by orchards, fields, and permaculture gardens, this restaurant is centered on a vibrant cuisine that mirrors its natural setting. Cooking here is described as clear, simple, and harmonious, illustrated by a recent dish of pike perch lightly grilled and served with a leaf of chicory brushed with blackcurrant reduction and fresh currants, where the fish acts as a buffer between acidity and bitterness. The overall approach favors a restrained, balanced style that aims for the directness of “four chords” in a Rolling Stones hit, with the kitchen remaining the heart of the place." - Lanie Goodman
