A chef trained in Michelin-starred gastronomy
At the helm, Chef Frédéric Ménager, trained alongside Pierre Gagnaire and Alain Chapel—both three-Michelin-starred chefs—brings a gastronomic approach deeply rooted in the experience acquired in these exceptional establishments. His career inspires respect and nourishes the creative dimension of his farmhouse inn, without ever sacrificing the spontaneity and simplicity that are the hallmarks of Ruchotte.
"Gastro" cuisine rooted in the rural world
The originality of La Ferme de la Ruchotte lies in its ability to combine gastronomic excellence with a resolutely rural approach. In a 12th-century structure, the chef grows his own organic vegetables and raises his ancestral poultry. Each dish—whether a seasonal velouté or roasted poultry—is the expression of a journey from field to plate, where gastronomic rigor meets the sincerity of the farm.
An exceptional gastronomic cellar
One of the undeniable strengths of this establishment is its gastronomic cellar, considered one of the most sophisticated in Burgundy:
- More than 2,000 bottles and 350 wines, almost all of which are Burgundian, with an emphasis on organic or biodynamic wines.
- Prestigious wines: Vosne-Romanée, Romanée-Conti, Musigny estates, as well as rare selections from biodynamic producers.
- Perfect pairing with food: from aperitif to dessert, the sommelier offers gourmet pairings that enhance every moment of the meal, with wines such as Marsannay, Pommard, Santenay, etc., perfect companions to terroir-gourmet dishes.
This gastronomic cellar allows the establishment to rise well beyond the status of a traditional farm, offering a complete and refined wine and gastronomic experience.
The gastronomic spirit… without the gastronomic excesses
Unlike Michelin-starred establishments, La Ruchotte does not seek to conform to Michelin-starred standards. Far from the immobility sometimes imposed by the guides, the chef preserves his creative freedom, favoring the natural cycles of his farm and the consistency of his dishes. The result is a gourmet yet accessible restaurant, where the rigor of the technique matches the generosity of the place.
