Le Moulin de Ponceau

Le Moulin de Ponceau is a family-run gourmet restaurant founded in 2019 by Stéphane, Mickaël and Franck. The team combines hospitality experience from Paris and Strasbourg with pastry and culinary expertise to deliver refined, unpretentious dining that emphasizes conviviality and memorable moments. It holds a 3 Écotable label and the Maître Restaurateur title, offers seasonally evolving, terroir-driven menus from short supply chains and regional producers, appears in Michelin and Gault & Millau guides and stages special menus for Easter, Valentine’s Day, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Dining rooms span three levels of a restored 17th-century house on the banks of the River Eure, with exposed beams, period stone and large floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of the river and Chartres monuments. A bucolic riverside terrace provides al fresco dining in warmer months; the vibe is warm, cosy and elegantly modern. The kitchen balances tradition and modernity, serving terroir-focused French dishes built on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and short supply chains. Menus are inventive yet accessible and typically offer four starters, four mains and four desserts, including a vegetarian option. Since 2024 the kitchen is led by Chef Jean‑François Sadones. Specialties include rabbit dishes, poultry, gambas (prawns), creative desserts and pâtisserie, and a leek with vinaigrette starter.
