Christophe Dufossé - Le Château de Beaulieu.
Set within a 17th-century estate in the Hauts-de-France countryside, Christophe Dufossé’s flagship restaurant balances high-end gastronomy with a noticeably relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere. The space transitions from classical architecture to a modern dining room characterized by bleached wood, glass, and views over manicured gardens. Dufossé’s cooking is rooted in the flavors of the North, emphasizing ethical sourcing and local produce in menus that scale from three to seven courses. Signature dishes often feature regional seafood, like Tarbouriech oysters and turbot, alongside matured meats prepared with technical precision. For those seeking a closer look at the process, the Chef's Dining Room offers a communal experience where guests participate in selecting seasonal ingredients. It is a destination that feels deeply connected to its landscape without the typical stiffness of a formal chateau.
