Dining

Les Prés d’Eugénie features three restaurants and one culinary café, each with its own unique identity:
The Restaurant Michel Guérard (3 Michelin stars since 1977) offers naturalistic fine dining, served in the Empress’s Historic Salons. L’Orangerie (1 Michelin star since 2025) offers hearth-side grilling, a “Terroir Sublime” regional menu, and the famous Grande Cuisine Minceur, set in a bright winter garden or on the terrace during summer. La Ferme aux Grives is the estate’s historic inn, serving rustic and traditional regional cuisine centered around a massive open fireplace. Café « Mère Poule » is the property’s culinary café, perfect for afternoon tea, a late brunch, or an aperitivo.

For an exceptional fine dining experience: The Restaurant Michel Guérard (3 Michelin stars).
For a more casual “Al Fresco” romantic dinner or family lunch: L’Orangerie (1 Michelin star), featuring premium local meats and Bay of Biscay fish grilled over the fire, or its daily healthy menu.
For a convivial meal with family or friends around a spit-roasted suckling pig: La Ferme aux Grives (Fixed-price menu at €60).
For afternoon tea, a late brunch, or a light aperitif: Café Mère Poule.
To experience our signature culinary concept: Michel Guérard’s Grande Cuisine Minceur, served at L’Orangerie.

The Restaurant Michel Guérard has held three Michelin stars continuously since 1977. It also boasts 4 Toques in the Gault & Millau guide and is a member of Les Grandes Tables du Monde. Michel Guérard was one of the most distinguished chefs in the history of French gastronomy. Passing away in 2024 after 47 uninterrupted years at the 3-star level, he passed the torch and the essence of his cuisine to his successor, Hugo Souchet. Today, Hugo Souchet and the Eugénie culinary team continue to cultivate a unique culinary repertoire, blending French heritage, deep roots in our Aquitaine region, and creativity inspired by a thousand horizons.
L’Orangerie, the estate’s second restaurant, was awarded its 1st Michelin star in 2025, making Les Prés d’Eugénie one of the few properties to feature two Michelin-starred restaurants on the same estate.

Grande Cuisine Minceur (Great Slimming Cuisine) is a culinary and dietary concept created by Michel Guérard in 1975. He pioneered a gastronomic approach to light cooking at a time when these two worlds were considered incompatible. The Menu Minceur changes daily for both lunch and dinner, offering a complete 3-course meal (appetizer, main course, dessert) for approximately 550 kcal, without ever compromising on pleasure or elegant presentation. This cuisine is served daily at L’Orangerie for lunch and dinner, upon prior reservation. Rate: €65 for the Menu Minceur du Jour (excluding drinks). It stands as one of the unique signatures of Les Prés d’Eugénie and a major legacy of Michel Guérard.

Café « Mère Poule » is the culinary café of Les Prés d’Eugénie. Two rooms with fireplaces and a sun-drenched terrace exude a cozy atmosphere filled with polished wood, a gleaming samovar, and burnished coppers. The menu features savory snacks (crispy croissants, platters of local charcuterie), traditional grandmother-style pastries (the Chef’s cake, Soustons peanut tart, vanilla flan), afternoon teas, and late breakfasts paired with Russian tea from the samovar or rich hot chocolate. A lifestyle boutique completes the experience.
Hours: Wednesday 9:30 AM–6:00 PM and Thursday to Sunday 12:00 PM–6:00 PM.
Packages: Afternoon tea from €8, Aperitivo from €12.
