Chef's Restaurant

This Bugey restaurant doesn't just want to be a restaurant, it also wants to embody a certain vision of cuisine and the terroir, through a rich narrative. Having worked in some of the world's top establishments (Guy Savoy, Christian Willer and La Chèvre d'or), Ivan Lavaux has a wealth of experience in haute cuisine, which he has come to reproduce here in his native region, with a view to celebrating its heritage. It's a cuisine where every detail counts, and where local producers are given pride of place in the preparation and presentation of the dishes. The chef works with hidden menus, to free himself from constraints and better follow the seasons, from €60 to €150. Excellent wine cellar with over five hundred references.
