La Botte d'Asperges

La Botte d'Asperges is a gastronomic restaurant founded in 2019 that follows a contemporary, terroir-driven approach prioritising short circuits. The house holds a Michelin BIB Gourmand (2020), appears in later Michelin selections, holds Gault & Millau 2 Toques (13.5/20) and Éco‑défi certification for 2019 and 2021. It runs culinary workshops in which guests buy local produce with the chef and cook together, emphasising learning and exchange. The restaurant combines refined modern technique with a firm ethical commitment to local sourcing, small producers and eco-responsible practice. The dining room is refined and discreet with a soft, pared-back atmosphere. Service is attentive and structured so guests can take their time. An elegant, contemporary setting suits gastronomic meals. The cuisine is modern and gastronomic, seasonally focused and rooted in contemporary technique. Dishes combine regional produce with carefully worked food-and-wine pairings, and the chef uses exclusively French meats to stay close to provenance. Stéphane Bureau is the chef and co-runs the restaurant with Maud; his training includes Choiseul amboisien, Grand Véfour, Lucas Carton and Château de Divonne. He draws on family culinary traditions — a grandfather cook and a father charcutier-traiteur — to craft inventive yet respectful dishes. Specialities include foie gras, escargots and fish from the Loire supplied by producers located within a few kilometres. Seasonal vegetables and aromatics come from a nearby market gardener, and local honey features in honey-based preparations.
