The partner's word

Avarum is a gastronomic restaurant in Fougères-sur-Bièvre near Blois. It presents refined, accessible French cuisine rooted in the local terroir. The kitchen emphasises fresh ingredients from local producers and specifies meat origins: French‑born poultry and beef, pork from France or Spain. It offers market and discovery menus up to a seven‑course tasting and proposes wine pairings, including a grands‑vins‑by‑the‑glass service called Dvine. The house holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The dining room is sober and refined with a muted, intimate atmosphere and a sunlit terrace. Tables are spaced to preserve privacy, and service is attentive without being intrusive. A carefully paced dining experience favours seasonal sourcing and close relationships with producers. Avarum serves contemporary, author‑driven, bistronomic cuisine that balances tradition and modernity; the kitchen can produce fully vegetarian menus on request and focuses on precise cooking, surprising combinations and clear, honest flavours. Chef Jonathan Lemaire is described on the site as talented and passionate and is recognised as a Maître Restaurateur (Collège Culinaire de France). Specialities include monthly vegetable‑based desserts (examples: carrot & cinnamon; rhubarb & cucumber), a Menu Découverte (entrée, main, cheese or dessert), foie gras cannelloni with coffee emulsion and poached oyster with cauliflower and Penja pepper.
