Le canard d'Autrefoie, in Caudrot

"Véronique and Sébastien, who run the farm, wrote to me when I arrived in Bommes. They invited me to come and discover their small production and let me taste a foie gras just pan-fried... The smell alone took me back to distant memories! The fat was fluorescent yellow, a sign of high quality and healthily-fed duck.It gave me chills!" recalls Jérôme Schilling, who adds that he also cooks their duck breasts at the restaurant.

Les couteaux de Savignac, in Foix

Jérôme Schilling had a very specific idea of the knives he wanted for Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey in Bommes. "When I was little, my father always had a knife in his pocket when we went for a walk. He used it to cut bread, for example. So I wanted a strong link to the land, to the terroir, with the idea of a handle that resembled the color of the soil. There's a lot of limestone around the château, so Savignac Cutlery came up with handles in Corian, a highly resistant and speckled material".Jérôme Schilling, who points out that the cutlery also has a store in Foix.

Felchlin chocolates from Switzerland

Jérôme Schilling wanted the best for his customers, and turned to Switzerland for the chocolates on offer at the restaurant. "The owner of the château is Swiss, and Felchlin's chocolates are very special. For example, they have a chocolate with woody, smoky notes, which is very distinctive. What's more,it's a chocolate that works very well for our pastries. "
