A farmhouse inn in the heart of Burgundy, "Top restaurants in Beaune"
Founded in 2002 by Frédéric Ménager, La Ferme de la Ruchotte is much more than just a restaurant. It’s a farmhouse inn where the Burgundian art of living is cultivated. Located on a limestone plateau at an altitude of 530 meters, it offers a bucolic setting conducive to relaxation and wine tasting. The place, steeped in history, reflects a passion for the land and its products.
Frédéric Ménager: an extraordinary chef-breeder
Former second-in-command to three-Michelin-starred chef Alain Chapel, Frédéric Ménager chose to stray from the beaten track to create a place that reflects his image. A chef, breeder, market gardener, and musician, he embodies a holistic approach to cuisine. His philosophy is based on respect for nature, the seasons, and the products. He raises heritage poultry breeds himself, cultivates a five-hectare vegetable garden, and offers refined country cuisine.
An organic and local menu, from field to plate, makes it a "Top Restaurant in Beaune"
La Ferme de la Ruchotte is a model of organic and sustainable agriculture. All the products served come from the farm or from local producers who share the same values. The menus, which change regularly, feature signature dishes such as vol-au-vent with crayfish, chicken, veal, dumplings, truffles, and morels. Each plate tells a story, that of a preserved terroir and ancestral know-how.
An exceptional wine cellar
La Ferme de la Ruchotte’s wine cellar lives up to its cuisine. It offers a rigorous selection of wines, mainly organic, highlighting the best Burgundy estates. The wine and food pairings are designed to enhance each dish and offer a complete taste experience.
