In Saintes, Le Dallaison can be discovered around a discreet corner, behind a facade where you wouldn't expect to find such a jewel. The elegant dining room and garden provide a calm, well-kept setting. In the kitchen, Jérôme Dallet works with local producers to create a coherent, easy-to-understand seasonal menu, served in two parts for each course. The plates play on the balance of textures and flavors, with a fluid rhythm from the beginning to the end of the meal. In the dining room, Coralie, with her lilting accent, leads the service with precision and offers a rich cellar exclusively composed of French wines, accompanied by a wide selection of spirits and non-alcoholic beverages. The gourmet, refined cuisine is worthy of its three toques: horse mackerel confit in carcass oil, langoustine and fennel, veal filet mignon and fragrant flouve, eggplant, capers and black olive condiment, mirabelle plum, smoked tea, honey and walnut.
