The modern French menu at the two-Michelin starred Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons has been described as ‘a twist of imaginative genius’ and the cuisine is undoubtedly the focus of every guest’s visit. Gary Jones, a Blanc protégé and Michelin-starred chef himself, rejoined forces with Raymond as Executive Head Chef in August 1999.

The two-acre kitchen garden produces 90 types of vegetable and over 70 varieties of herb, which are used in Le Manoir’s kitchen. Monsieur Blanc has been a champion of the organic movement for the last 20 years.
