Remarkable Restaurant Ingrid and Michaël Arnoult's restaurant overlooks the vineyards of Jongieux and the verdant countryside. The modern, cosy dining room opens onto an incredible panorama, with glimpses of the meandering Rhône River. This magical setting is the starting point for a wonderful adventure shared with local producers, who are the chef's primary inspiration. Michaël's impeccable technique and inspired combinations are then put to work on crayfish, pigeon or sweetbreads, with particular attention paid to plate presentation. Crayfish tartare with sparkling butter, mandarin orange and tagetes: delicate visuals, technical skill at the service of a tartare that balances crayfish and citrus fruit, with the unexpected addition of carcass juice. The microscopic croutons are there for crunch, nothing is forgotten. The great French gastronomy is respected, with just the right touch of modernity and know-how on the sauces, which you'll need to abuse, as the sauce boats are left on the table. The desserts feature the same delicacy with peaches, white, yellow, vine and fragrant geranium. The great traditional style extends to the service and the cellar, irreproachable in all its compartments.
