Remarkable Restaurant

High-quality ingredients, carefully selected and skillfully prepared—this is the true hallmark of Chef François Sauvêtre, who has also been the owner, alongside his wife Sarah, for the past three years, after working for many years alongside the Lafon couple. His precision and respect for flavor are such that he comes close to turning cooking into an exact science, with blind tasting menus (€100 and €130), the “Seasonal Journey”—a three-course experience offering a great introduction for 70 €: langoustines with candied beets, strawberries, and marjoram; duck with eggplant and mushrooms; and French toast with apricot and caramel sauce… An impressive wine cellar with 350 selections, focused on Bordeaux but featuring wines from all regions, including a few international selections.
