They lived the Chef's Ride Experience

An exceptional day with chef Elisa: local produce market, passionate explanations of their origins, tasty cuisine featuring local produce, followed by wine tasting at Domaine du Petit Bondieu in Bourgueil. An authentic, convivial experience rich in discoveries, highly recommended.

Sandra Jubault

A birthday dinner and brunch of the highest quality: refined dishes, meticulous presentation, perfect cooking and discreet service. The brunch was varied and generous. Professional and organized, the chef Elisa was able to adapt brilliantly and make our weekend unforgettable.

Annie Durand

For the May 8th bridge with the family in a gîte in Bourgueil, chef Elisa prepared a dream dinner for our 70th birthday. Dishes of incomparable finesse and flavor, from amuse-bouches to dessert, served with discretion and simplicity. Many thanks and bravo to the artist.

We had a wonderful time discovering the art of living and the gastronomic and oenological culture of the French. The menu was a delight. The day unfolded in a warm and friendly atmosphere, with many wonderful anecdotes to tell!
