Deep in the Brevon valley, this former 17C mill is run by two passionate foodies: chef Frédéric Molina, a winegrower’s son who has worked all over Europe, and his partner Irene Gordejuela, who originally hails from a small village between the Rioja and the Basque Country. The latter welcomes guests in her charming accent and oversees the wine list which gives pride of place to local and Spanish wines. The couple have a shared philosophy of eco-responsibility: they promote sustainable local agriculture, using hand-picked producers, and even use biodegradable containers. The 4- and 8-course surprise menus are a real delight, as is the excellent local bread made with organic natural sourdough.
