The story
Set within the leafy grounds of the Relais du Bois Saint-Georges – a welcoming hotel estate that has stood since 1978 – La Table du Relais is the fine-dining restaurant where chef Stéphane Gautier expresses a clear, confident vision of modern cuisine. The restaurant earned a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a quiet nod to its consistent, characterful cooking.
Open from Tuesday lunch through Saturday evening, the kitchen works in the space between tradition and creativity. Gautier’s plates are described as generous, built on respect for the produce and a sense of flavour that feels both grounded and inventive. The tone is refined but not stiff – the dining room is airy, the 7-hectare park visible through large windows, the atmosphere convivial rather than hushed.
The restaurant is part of a larger Relais that includes a four-star hotel, a tearoom, and an indoor pool, but the table holds its own. It is a destination for those who seek a meal that is thoughtful, seasonal, and rooted in the Charente-Maritime region. Service is attentive, the wine list well-sourced, and the setting – with an outdoor terrace in warmer months – invites lingering.
For anyone crossing Saintes or seeking a quiet, assured meal in western France, La Table du Relais du Bois Saint-Georges delivers exactly what its Michelin recognition suggests: modern cuisine executed with sincerity and skill.
