Le Roannay receives 15.5/20 rating from Gault & Millau

On 27 November 2023, the 2024 Gault & Millau Awards ceremony took place. Our gourmet restaurant received an impressive rating of 15.5/20, marking a progression since last year!

Thank you to our passionate team, who are committed to our clients on a daily basis alongside our two chefs, Mathieu Van Velde and David Martin

“Ne dit-on pas que le talent n’attend pas le nombre des années ? En un peu plus d’un an, c’est ce que Mathieu Vande Velde s’attelle à nous démontrer dans cet hôtel mythique de la région spadoise rénové avec beaucoup d’élégance. En parachutant son ancien second dans l’établissement, David Martin a visé dans le mille. Pétri de talent, le jeune Mathieu impose sa personnalité dans les assiettes, tout en conservant les marqueurs de la cuisine de son mentor. Dans sa cuisine ouverte, le jeune chef s’affaire derrière un grill argentin pour rôtir quelques asperges délivrées avec un cordon de jaune d’œuf confit au mizo et yuzu.  Il fume à la minute l’aile de raie, la chair délicate étant ensuite associée à de la rhubarbe en diverses textures et des mange-tout. C’est avec un dessert délicat autour de l’amande que le chef démontre en fin de repas sa grande maturité. Monochrome dans sa présentation, ce final surprend par sa légèreté et sa contemporanéité. La sommelière avisée saura vous guider dans une riche carte associant classicisme et originalité. Un demi-point confirme l’évolution de la maison”.

15 out of 20 in the Gault&Millau : such a wonderful accolade!

On 7th November, the awards ceremony for the 2023 Gault&Millau guide took place. Our gourmet restaurant entered the famous guide, with a very good score of 15 out of 20 and a 3 chef’s hat rating !

This is a magnificent accolade only 2 months since we opened, for the entire team who ardently do their utmost every day, alongside our two chefs Mathieu Vande Velde & David Martin !

 

“On the eve of its centenary, this legendary hotel-restaurant near to the famous Ardennes circuit has been fully restored. A restaurant has been opened next to the luxurious hotel, run by none other than David Martin, who has wasted no time in taking the restaurant to the highest levels of gastronomy. His right-hand man is Mathieu Vande Velde, his former executive chef and second at La Paix. Together, they make dishes adapted to the era but which also draw their roots from the region. Having gained fame on television, this young chef possesses the talent for translating the cuisine of his mentor into gourmet dishes that are perfectly presented and respectful of their ingredients. The produce is at the forefront in all the dishes. For example, Ardennes ham is used in a smoky-flavoured mousse that is served with compressed pig’s ears and lard brioche. The Ondenval trout soufflé is presented on the plate with a fantastic oyster and dill cream. The Brittany lobster is cooked on a wood fire whilst its pincers are served raw. All these dishes display culinary genius. This establishment has not wasted time in putting itself on the gastronomic map and has already earned a Gault & Millau 3 chef’s hat rating!”
