Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons
Raymond Blanc OBE’s Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, a Belmond Hotel, has been a bucket list destination for discerning foodies since opening in 1984. The hotel’s restaurant received two Michelin stars in its first year and, in February 2024, celebrated 40 years of retaining the coveted accolade.
Food is a central part of any stay. Chef patron Blanc oversees the restaurant’s kitchen, along with executive chef Luke Selby, who first trained with Blanc in 2009 before achieving enormous success with the Michelin-starred restaurant Evelyn’s Table.

Explore the sprawling estate through the senses, as multi-course menus see hyper-local produce at the heart of every dish. Thanks to culinary genius, homegrown ingredients and a strict no-waste policy, the restaurant holds a Green Michelin Star in addition to the two Michelin stars it has held for four decades. Menus change with the seasons, but seven-course dinners may include duck liver terrine with English rhubarb, roasted veal sweetbread, and palate-cleansing blood orange sorbets.
