Art de la table Trophy

For Relais & Châteaux, the art of the table, ambiance and décor are an essential part of our philosophy of hospitality. They are the very soul of our member properties and the outward expression of their character. Far from being mere accessories, they bear witness to the sites and regions you will discover when you stay at our properties. Prompted by this traditional and inventive approach, Relais & Châteaux has come up with the “Art de la table Trophy” which is presented to the properties that have shown the most originality in their decor and their vision of the very best in hospitality.

San Pellegrino

San Pellegrino is the fitting partner of this new Trophy. The famous Italian company has been innovative in introducing a more contemporary, more inviting and more image-driven water. Thanks to it, the art of the table extends an invitation to discover all the sensory diversity of wine, food and water during an instinctive and elegant experience.

Le Saint-James
Grands Chefs Relais & Châteaux Restaurant of a Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux and hotel in a village
Close to Bordeaux but nestled in a beautiful natural setting, surrounded by prestigious vineyards, in the adorable little village of Bouliac, this hotel has an unusual architectural style. Designed by Jean Nouvel who was inspired by the region’s tobacco drying barns, Le Saint-James is a design treasure bathed in natural light. Everything here is devoted to the cult of beauty and pleasure with exceptional wines to accompany the sublime food prepared by top chef Michel Portos. The quality of the local produce and the infl uence of exotic Mediterranean flavours inspire him to create incredible dishes such as “roasted langoustines with a sushi of crunchy vegetables and iced cream of boquerones” or the “crépinette of pigs trotters and squid spiced with pequillos served in their juices with slices of chorizo sausage”. Finally, to round off this culinary offering: the bistro “Côté Cour” and the rotisserie “Le Café de l’Espérance” with traditional, delicious cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere. ...Read more
