We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at L'Ermitage at Fontrevaud Abbey. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable with a nice view across the orchard to the hills beyond. The breakfasts in the cloisters were very good. We eat one night at the restaurant and had a superb meal well worthy of its Michelin star status. The other night we strolled into the village and eat at the Unicorn, recommended by reception and we had a lovely meal there and afterwards revisited the Abbey and it was magical seeing it all lit up. The location and the staff made it a really special trip.
The frame is amazing, the interior decoration is sublime and marvels with modern and old taste! The menu was delicious (only the red was a little too smoky for me but my wife loved it. A list of wines with a beautiful selection of local wines but not only. A professional service but not a guinea! In short, a very recommended table! In addition, after the meal, you have the opportunity to visit Fontevraud at night and almost alone as the site is closed to the public, which offers a magical digestive walk! Ps: we would have enjoyed butter with cheese. Especially since breakfast butter was very good!
Unplanned menu de dégustation au restaurant de l'Abbeye Royale I usually don't get the confidence to dinate in such places because of my food related allergies, but tonight the team has adjusted the menu without compromise and delivered a fantastic suite of dishes with seasonal flavors from the garden. My senses are still shaken and lifted by les Fines Bulles de la cuvée de Fontevraud. I am eternally grateful for this enjoyable experience in this spiritual and historical building. Merci à l'Abbé Thibaut, au Maître de Maison et à leurs équipes! This could be an annual pilgrimage between London and Arcachon...
