Is there a gourmet restaurant? Relais & Châteaux has close to 100 restaurants “only” without guest accommodations so that the gastronomical profession can take centre stage. Creators of emotions and artisans of flavour, the chefs of these restaurants are committed to Relais & Châteaux’s commitment to taste: products selected from local producers and respect for biodiversity and the seasons.
Among them, some of the finest Michelin starred restaurants will welcome you for an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
The aim of Relais & Châteaux restaurants is to create an extraordinary experience by creating lasting gastronomic memories for its guests. Creating the experience begins with the restaurant’s setting, which enhances the chef’s world of flavours. Then comes the experience of sharing with the restaurant’s staff in the dining room, who with their confident and precise manner, elegantly reveal the chef’s culinary identity. From this common endeavour is born a unique occasion for everyone to enjoy incredible flavours, a signature style and vision.

The roof and solid stone walls have been preserved and offer an authentic backdrop to Chef Lachlan Colwill’s cuisine. He was brought up in Barossa Valley, but then travelled the world over before returning to his native land to serve modern Australian cuisine, based on local ingredients designed to match the estate wines: freshly-picked salad accompanied by red tuna and chicken livers, squid with a rustic blend of leeks, linseed and sorrel. ...

Restaurant in town. Joshua Skenes has made fire his signature. He has transposed the campfires of his childhood to Saison, his restaurant in San Francisco, where he refines the art of cooking over hot coals. For him, it’s the best way to bring out the flavor of the ingredients. His menus highlight the finest products that exist, even aging them if necessary, as with game and certain vegetables, to concentrate the flavors. His cuisine is the result of know-how, an art that cannot be rushed, and he wants his diners to know that he takes all the time necessary. But the ambience is always relaxed and casual — after the meal, there’s nothing like a cup of buckwheat tea amidst the flaming hearth. ... Learn moreless
