This superb medieval stronghold, which was once a coaching inn and then a family home, now houses a fine dining establishment depicted by elegantly refurbished lounges whose solid parquet floors, lime-rendered walls and bare stone are contrasted by a subtle modern edge. The name "Gaia", goddess of the Earth, hints at the chef's ethos: fish and shellfish from the town's fish market are combined with vegetables, flowers and herbs from Beauregard farm to create polished cuisine, characterised by bold, spot-on flavours.
