The restaurant is located within the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud in the Saint-Lazare cloister.
Always a welcoming place and meeting place, Fontevraud L'Ermitage, a 4-star hotel and starred restaurant in the heart of the royal Abbey of Fontevraud, perpetuates the art of entertaining in a majestic setting, far from the tumults of the world.

If the stay at Fontevraud L'Ermitage offers a break of tranquility, the gastronomic table is the highlight of this beneficial experience, led by chef Thibaut Ruggeri, Bocuse d'Or, 1 Michelin star, 3 Gault&Millau toques, also awarded by the green star of sustainable gastronomy: “I see myself as a hermit cook. Deliberately away from the tumults of the world, I observe it, especially at night, to take its pulse. The moon, its rhythms and mysteries, inspire the renewal of my recipes: thus the unique Moon menu was born.” This personality is reminiscent of that of Robert d'Arbrissel, an itinerant and charismatic preacher who founded the Abbey in 1101.
Thibaut Ruggeri, Bocuse d'Or and committed Chef of Fontevraud le Restaurant, has one star and is included in the first "Sustainable Gastronomy" selection of the Michelin Guide. This distinction is an essential recognition for Thibaut Ruggeri, because the link to nature and the Earth is at the heart of his cuisine.
