Gourmet Restaurant

Here’s the scene: Clément, working alone in the kitchen while Audrey tends to the dining room, took over the restaurant in September 2025; the “galipette”—a type of large mushroom grown on small mounds—is served as an appetizer, stuffed with cheese and walnuts; many local producers supply the kitchen of this young chef, who adds pickles, shallot ice cream, and Tomme d’Anjou to his onion soup; As for the cod, it is accompanied by vegetables the chef enjoys working with, such as lightly grilled kale, glazed turnips, or a leek fondue; desserts may be on-trend, featuring mushrooms in an emulsion or crystallized on top of coffee ice cream; a promising young couple who can cut back on cream or simplify their cooking so that everything is made fresh daily, yet have managed to curate a lovely wine list featuring the region’s tried-and-true selections; The three-course daily special for €28 also justifies the chef’s hat, featuring a celery and chicken risotto, hake with seaweed butter, and a hazelnut île flottante.
