The story
For over 130 years, La Croix d'Or has stood at the crossroads of the Perche region, between Bellême and Mortagne-au-Perche. Originally a coaching inn for horses, this historic establishment has been transformed into a warm and welcoming restaurant where the past and present meet on the plate.
Karine and her team greet guests in a setting that is both cozy and restful, with several dining rooms to choose from. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, perfect for everything from an intimate dinner to a family celebration, including weddings, baptisms, and communions.
Chef Laurent and his brigade craft a menu that changes with the seasons, focusing on the rich produce of the region. This is cuisine de terroir at its most honest—simple, flavorful dishes that highlight local ingredients. Whether you come for a tête-à-tête or a group gathering, the food is designed to be shared and savored. The restaurant's commitment to seasonal, traditional cooking has earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction, a nod to its consistent quality and genuine character.
La Croix d'Or also offers rooms, making it a perfect base for exploring the rolling hills and forests of the Perche. With outdoor seating available in warmer months and convenient on-site parking, it is a practical choice for travelers seeking a genuine taste of rural France.
