About the event
Guest-chef residency in Los Gatos
The February program brings La Table des Amis from France to Ritual at Manresa in Los Gatos, with Chef Christophe Bacquié as resident chef. The visiting restaurant arrives with two Michelin stars and a globally recognized point of view for the residency. Ritual at Manresa is described as a culinary members club where guest chefs take over the Manresa kitchen for dinners, wines, and curated evenings.
The residency is tied to Manresa, a restaurant at 320 Village Ln in Los Gatos. The source publishes the residency at month level for February 2026, with the canonical event date set to the first day of that month and the full month window retained in metadata.
Menu and beverage program
The dining format centers on a 10–12 course tasting menu selected by Chef Christophe Bacquié. That makes the chef and the visiting restaurant the core subjects of the February residency, rather than a single public lecture, tasting, or standard restaurant service.
Beverage offerings listed for the residency include wine pairings, non-alcoholic cocktails, rare labels, and special vintages. The ledger does not name individual wines, producers, vintages, or non-alcoholic cocktail components, so the useful planning detail is the range of beverage formats rather than a bottle-by-bottle program.
Service schedule and access
Dinner services are listed Wednesday through Sunday at 6:30 PM during the February residency window. Ritual also lists chef meet-and-greet sessions with the resident chef on Tuesday at 6:00 PM and Saturday at 12:00 PM, giving the program both dinner-service and chef-session formats.
Access is described as membership or guest booking required, and event pricing is not published on the source page.
