Le Lucullus

Le Lucullus is the gastronomic restaurant of the Logis Hôtel de France in Montmorillon, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, welcoming guests in a contemporary hotel-restaurant near the Gare and the Cité de l'Écrit. The restaurant lists "Fait Maison", local suppliers and seasonal products among its sustainable procurement criteria, offers à la carte choices priced €17–€40 alongside set lunch and dinner formulas and a tasting menu, and provides a vegetarian set menu and a children's discovery menu. Le Lucullus implements eco-gestures and energy- and water-saving measures and holds a Michelin Guide distinction of SELECTED in the "Cuisine moderne" category. The bistrot is bright and spacious, and the gastronomic dining room opens onto a terrace for fine-weather service. The kitchen presents modern French gastronomy that highlights local producers and seasonal products, while a bistrot-style offer serves traditional, terroir-driven dishes and the house stages both a refined gastronomic table and a more casual bistrot. Chef Alban Galpin runs the gastronomic kitchen and is described as expressing his talent and creativity in a chic, contemporary dining room. Specialties include homemade foie gras terrine with pickled daikon and wild garlic brioche; unilaterally cooked smoked trout from "Talbat" with early asparagus and cognac rouille; scallop tartare marinated with black sesame and teriyaki with vanilla hollandaise; roasted skirt steak and sweetbreads with confit shallots and pineau des Charentes jus; Comté risotto with langoustines and scallops and parsley-lemon green oil; barbecue-cooked magret de canard from Maison Mitteault with beet ketchup and celery textures; and Skrei cod cooked on the skin with oyster butter sauce and crisp asparagus.
