An extraordinary place
Located in the heart of the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, the Restaurant offers much more than a culinary experience: it immerses you in a setting of exceptional beauty, where history blends with contemporary elegance to create a unique atmosphere.
Sustainable gastronomy
Respect for Mother Earth
At Fontevraud L’Ermitage, the chef and his team create dishes featuring local, seasonal ingredients. Each dish showcases the region’s bounty and features ingredients carefully selected throughout the seasons. This approach reflects a commitment to promoting authentic and responsible cuisine, with a particular focus on the origin of ingredients, respect for nature, and the expertise of local producers.
A 5,000 m² vegetable garden
The strongest expression of sustainable gastronomy is the 5,000m² organic vegetable garden. Located on the site of the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud, it supplies the restaurant with seasonal produce and dictates the menu. Honey is also produced on site, thanks to beehives set up in the gardens of the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud.
A complete commitment
Respect for the environment is one of the values that unite the Restaurant and the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud. For almost 10 years now, the Abbey has taken a host of initiatives in this area, including waste sorting, a wood-fired boiler, composting, electric vehicles, respect for biodiversity, eco-pasturing, an LPO (League for the Protection of Birds) refuge, etc.
