About
Away from the bustle of central Rennes, Cueillette offers a break that is close to the city yet open to a more rural landscape. The house, on Route de Fougères in Cesson-Sévigné, welcomes guests in a contemporary spirit, with a covered terrace overlooking the fields. Behind it is a complementary couple: Armand Demouy creates the plates, while Fany Furlan runs the dining room. The name, meaning “picking”, sums up the idea. The season sets the meeting with market gardeners, fishermen and other craftspeople, then the writing of a precise menu built around a limited number of flavours. Armand seeks clear compositions, where a cooking technique, a herb or a jus can give a product all its depth. Their shared path has taken them through Paris and Haute-Savoie, with a special interest in wine. At lunch, you can enjoy the house’s signature at a fairly relaxed pace; the tasting menus extend the experience and leave more room for surprise. It suits a dinner for two as well as a special celebration.
