It's an institution almost forty years old, now under the leadership of Thomas Morel, Denis Franc's successor. The chef has been at the helm for the past ten years with relative consistency, offering a cuisine that is both classic and well supported by noble products. The menus are designed for special occasions, and include sea bream tartare with redfish, zucchini condiment and granny smith-glazed disc, pan-fried foie gras with beet confit in pulp and marbles, meat with poultry jus and Tarbais bean hummus, and a dessert of strawberries, coconut mousse and meringue with Béarn spices, cucumber sorbet and strawberry coulis with beer flower.
