Recs for my 50th lunch- anywhere like Le Manoir?

[LavenderOregano]

It’s my 50th this year and I had hoped to go for lunch at le manoir aux quat’ saisons, but it’s being refurbished.

Can you suggest somewhere similar for a celebration, ideally in the south east? I especially like how the restaurant is tied to the kitchen garden at le manoir.

thank you!

ChatGPT is great for research like this

The Waterside Inn was beautiful when I went for a big birthday a few years ago. Doesn't have the kitchen garden aspect of Le Manoir, but the terrace by the river was lovely on a summer evening, and the food was exquisite.
