Grand Hôtel du Lion d'Or
Modern French
The interior is made of "stone cardboard," an 18th-century craft technique the chef tracked down and had a specialist restore, so the dining room itself is already doing something unusual. This Michelin-starred restaurant in the Sologne countryside runs on the chef's obsession with forgotten herbs and local ingredients, producing a refined but unshowy take on the region. The Loire wine list is the kind that makes the sommelier hard to escape.
