Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant on the Côte d’Azur
La Table de Patrick Raingeard
A bold and inventive Mediterranean style
On the ground floor of the Manor House, La Table de Patrick Raingeard, a Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant on the Côte d'Azur, sets out its culinary delights on a vast terrace overlooking the sea: a poetic entrée whose phrasing is punctuated by the reflections on the water and the white sails of the boats drifting by in the distance.
Here, gastronomy naturally adopts Mediterranean tones, offering a delightful journey into a playful terroir, flanked by the sea on one side and the land on the other.
Using fish caught from small vessels to preserve stocks, lobster in all its many forms, vegetables from the coastal hinterland, and vibrant seasoning, Chef Patrick Raingeard's elegant cuisine is infused with a joyful creativity that gives true depth to emotion.
Lively, bold, inspired and inspiring, this cuisine d'auteur shakes things up by transcending its classic foundations with a constantly re-imagined fresh and contemporary twist.
An ode to nature at its most exquisite, the chef's vegetarian menu takes plant-based cuisine to dizzying new heights.
Patrick Raingeard fine-tuned his knowledge of vegetables under the guidance of Alain Passard and with this expertise has created the Verde Set Menu, a vegetarian experience of overwhelming intensity.
When the Mediterranean pushes back the boundaries of taste, becoming a traveller that draws its inspiration from all around, the experience is one that goes straight to the heart of your tastebuds.
"Transcending simplicity is a form of excellence."
Patrick Raingeard, a Breton who fell into a world of olive oil
Patrick Raingeard was born in Nantes, Brittany, but grew up in the nearby Vendée region, and from a very early age placed taste at the centre of his ambitions.
It was under Alain Passard at L'Arpège that he honed his palate with a well-learned lesson in how to lift vegetables to their zenith, and then under Jacques Maximin, before taking his talent and chef's hat to Monaco's Zebra Square and Port Palace Hotel, where he was awarded a Michelin star.
A convert to olive oil and Mediterranean influences, Patrick joined Cap Estel in 2012, and just a year later earned his first star.
Fanatical about fine produce, freshly-caught fish and sun-kissed vegetables, he has been working hard ever since to extract the very best from his adopted region, transcending simplicity with elegant dishes that speak volumes.
