Chef's Restaurant You won't come to Chai Nous Comme Chez Vous by chance, because if you haven't made a reservation, your chances of sampling Laurent Favier's cuisine are slim to none. Here, you'll find regulars and lovers of good food, as well as tourists who've taken the trouble to find out about the best addresses on the Ile de Ré. You're just a stone's throw from the port, in a quiet alleyway, and the restaurant offers just twenty covers in this former family wine storehouse. Laurent and Florence welcome you as if you were an intimate, and their aim is to work with local produce in a simple yet creative way, where each ingredient has its place on the plate. The menu is composed according to the market and can vary from day to day: French chanterelle mushrooms and artichoke with amaretto, a fir bud cream, the mushrooms enhanced by the hazelnut flavor of the artichoke and the almond of the amaretto. The fir tree lifts the finish and the soft textures add a gourmet touch to the dish. We stray a little off the beaten track with the pavé de maigre à la plancha, velouté au lait de coco et curry vert herbacé maison, eggplants japonaises et cèpes français, and the result is just as convincing. You really feel good... chai vous. The wine selection was equally rigorous: around a hundred labels, most of them organic. Each French region is represented by wines that showcase their terroir. Florence has allowed herself a little pleasure with the Dvine appliances, which enable us to offer great vintages in the best conditions of aeration and temperature. You can choose from over 20 different wines by the glass.
