French cuisine is considered to be the best in the world, and having indulged in French food one too many times, I could not agree more. From bread and pastries to seafood, escargots, cheese, champagne, and wine, it really does have a lot to offer.
Dining in France is one thing, but dining in a Michelin-starred restaurant in France is taking it to the next level. France is the birthplace of the Michelin guide, after all.
During my many visits to this beautiful country, I happened to visit a Michelin-starred restaurant in an extraordinary boutique hotel – Les Hautes Roches.
Located near Tours in the Loire Valley, Les Hautes Roches is an 18th-century manor nestled against a cliff overlooking the river Loire, and it is inscribed on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
During balmy summer evenings, the fine dining takes place on the stone terrace for the breath of fresh air and stunning views.
The exceptional cuisine, inspired by seafood, is foodie heaven and destination in its own right.
Starting with an amuse-bouche to get a glimpse of the chef’s style, it only gets better from here.

Scallops wrapped in bacon and a mix of vegetables arranged to a piece of art on the plate. Way too pretty to be eaten.

Located in the heart of Vouvray’s vineyards, the restaurant offers dozens of the best local wines to complement the dishes.

And after all this, you won’t even realise how several hours have passed. Perfectly paced meals with mouth-watering treats in between and excellent service really do make the dining experience special.
