Brigitte Guignery

The Restaurant Le Blanc Manger in La Colle Sur Loup is a calm oasis of moments of culinary happiness orchestrated by Chef Brigitte Guignery.

At La Colle Sur Loup, halfway between the coast and the village of Art of Saint Paul de Vence, Le Blanc Manger is a rare pearl of generous, refined and creative, but very affordable, “à l’ardoise” gastronomy.
The name of the restaurant, a sweet dessert made from flavored milk, already evokes la bonne chère and la douceur de vivre. When she bought, twelve years ago, Brigitte Guignery kept the former name of the restaurant, probably in memory of the many years spent creating pastries at L’Auberge du Jarrier – 1 Michelin star – she managed with her husband in Biot, before focusing on her true passion: cooking.

The Lady is the Chef

Brigitte Guignery, one of the few lady Chef in the French Riviera, is also one of the most talented. She shares her passion of a cuisine “after her own heart and desires”, always looking for new products and new culinary creations, and devote herself to offering “moments of happiness” to her customers. Brigitte stands for exclusively fresh and seasonal products from our terroir; everything is “homemade” and patiently elaborated in her kitchen. The chef then takes pleasure in arranging nice-looking plates. Passionate about wine, she combines her with dishes discovery nectars, unearthed during the winter at sometimes little-known producers.

Greenery, calm and old stones

Greeted by Brigitte Guignery’s warm smile, the customers find an air-conditioned room for summer, opening out on a terrace surrounded by greenery for sunny days. The “wellness” decoration without ostentation is in the colors of Provence, white, ocher and old “mas” old stones with exposed beams. The dining rooms are furnished with wooden tables with lovely wickerwork chairs. Another room, furnished with deep leather armchairs with a fireplace, evokes a cozy atmosphere and winter by fireside enjoying an invigorating dish or a Lounge Bar to sip in the evening a good glass of wine accompanied by a plate of homemade tapas. Le Blanc Manger is a quiet oasis where you feel immediately at home, ready to discover and let your plate enjoy.
