About

Auberge La Gaillotière serves family cooking for four hands in a former wine store surrounded by vineyards, with homemade bread, herbs grown on site and local wines. The building sets the tone: stone, wood, steel and wide openings balance a rural spirit with modern comfort. The terrace brings the vineyard into the experience, along with the orchard and flowers. The inn highlights the family work of Benoît and Simon Debailly, with Christèle and the rest of the team. Their cooking knows its classics but looks for new pairings: fish of the day with root vegetables, a classic meat jus with more modern seasoning, or a dessert of Jerusalem artichoke and chocolate. The house names its producers: vegetables from the Marché du Launay in Basse-Goulaine, organic herbs, goat’s cheese from the Ferme du Hallay. Herbs grown by the team, bread made with flour from the Minoterie Giraudineau and apple juice from the orchard complete the local approach. A vegetarian option features seasonal vegetables, organic smoked tofu, cheese and egg. The Loire Valley wines are central: muscadet cuvées and local producers are part of the restaurant’s identity.
