A musical and gastronomic challenge
Discover the La Ruchotte carving knife
Many music critics consider the advent of Hard Rock – the precursor of Heavy Metal – to be a revolt against the establishment, especially after 1968. It burst forth onto the scene in response to a form of rock that was considered to be too tame and polished. Many European and American bands broke away from previous music trends with intense energy, experimenting with new forms of music whose structure challenged current musical standards. It’s not surprising that our alternative chef embraced this cultural trend, as several food critics and renowned chefs found his personal culinary revolution to be shocking. He designs his dishes around the daily bounty of his organic farm, where he also works as a vegetable gardener and raises rare breeds of heritage poultry, some of which were on the brink of extinction – a revolutionary act within itself, performed with passion and "explosive riffs."

A heavy metal organic farmhouse inn & restaurant
Heavy Metal is known for unleashing a sonic revolution, appropriating a starkly dark and ominous universe that openly addressed socially taboo subjects like political corruption in a revolt against the establishment. Frédéric Ménager has absorbed these tenets, infusing and transforming them with his own ideas to spur his personal gastronomic revolution. His love of this bucks-traditions culture is reflected in his countless tattoos, jewelry and clothing. The walls of his farmhouse restaurant are lined with countless autographed photographs from the greatest modern heavy metal bands, reminding his clients that authenticity and a rupture from the norm are on the menu. The Ferme de la Ruchotte’s “culinary music” is distinguished by sincere harmonious notes where the show and presentation never take over the taste. Authentic flavors, striking blends, everything perfectly orchestrated as if by a metronome to compose a perfect gastronomic score, which, like a unique piece of music, will stay etched in your mind forever. Great connoisseurs of French gastronomy, musicians and international heavy metal bands flock to the Ferme de la Ruchotte to taste Frédéric Ménager’s genuine and pure “culinary solos." Finally, a little advice: don’t attempt to dine at La Ruchotte during the Hellfest Festival - the world’s largest gathering of heavy metal bands. Frédéric dedicates himself to this event with verve, further enriching his quest for musical and culinary authenticity.
Ferme de la Ruchotte’s Heavy Metal logo
Frédéric Ménager wished to create a "Ghost logo" that melded with his Heavy Metal and culinary values. The logo - created by Ménager’s talented tattoo artist who is one of the best in his field - will be used on different products such as knives, aprons and jewelry that will be launched in the upcoming months.
