Maison Medard

Maison Medard, founded 2014, stands on Boulleret’s village square in Berry facing the Sancerrois vineyards. The restaurant practices sustainable gastronomy—seasonal cooking, respect for nature and the living, and celebration of local terroir and producers—and holds one Michelin star (2021) and a Gault & Millau Trophée Terroir d’Exception, recognitions the team links to regional producers and wines. A vinothèque and sommelier approach place wine at the centre; menus and pairings trace Centre‑Loire vineyards such as Sancerre and Pouilly. Attentive, warm service creates a refined, welcoming atmosphere that blends village simplicity with elegant contemporary hospitality; the dining experience is presented with meticulous, calm, celebratory service. The cuisine is modern, creative and gastronomic with a strong seasonal and terroir focus; dishes emphasize refined technique and precise flavours inspired by local landscapes and wines, and tasting menus are paired with carefully selected Centre‑Loire vintages. Chef Julien Medard trained in the classical brigade and was mentored by Dominique Radmacher; he grew up in the Loire Valley as son of a cook and grandson of a farmer. With his wife Delphine, who orchestrates service and the dining room, he combines precise, refined technique with warm, attentive hospitality to present authentic, creative modern compositions that pair clear flavours and subtlety. Specialties: Menu Balade (5-course discovery); Menu Flânerie (8-course tasting); accord mets et vins — 5‑glass and 8‑glass pairings; signature cheese selection; Cocktail du Chef.
