Ricordeau

Ricordeau is a historic three‑star hotel and gastronomic house in Loué with more than 140 years of history, located 25 km from Le Mans. It presents two on‑site dining offers: a fine‑dining restaurant and a bistro, La Table du Coq. Run for generations by the Ricordeau family, Emile Ricordeau (third generation) held two Michelin stars for over thirty years and forged the house’s reputation for uncompromising quality. The property occupies a charming 19th‑century house set within a bucolic garden. Interiors are cosy, country‑chic with shaded patios, terraces overlooking the garden and intimate dining rooms. The team emphasises attentive, sincere service and warm hospitality that combine gastronomy with a welcoming hotel experience. The fine‑dining kitchen practises modern gastronomy that highlights local produce and aims to reveal delicate flavour expression. The on‑site bistro specialises in poultry‑centred, gourmet bistro cooking. Didier Chapeau is head chef and continues the house’s philosophy and high standards. Menus showcase local products. The property provides catering and a festive takeaway menu, Les Emportés, for festive seasons and private events, prepared with fresh, carefully worked ingredients.
