Gourmet Restaurant

This imposing, somewhat austere house in the heart of the city has been standing for several centuries. The hotel’s restaurant is well worth a visit. Admittedly, the dining room doesn’t open onto the outdoors, but it’s still charming: contemporary furniture contrasts beautifully with the thick stone walls and whitewashed beams. Colorful paintings and elegant light fixtures beautifully complement the setting. In the kitchen, the chef gets right to the heart of the matter with precision: a delightful pork pâté en croûte, veal sweetbreads, and Guémené andouille sausage enhanced with a Pineau des Charentes jelly anda mustard seed sauce; or pan-seared squid with Espelette pepper, served with slightly lemony salsify and a creamy beet purée—though the latter is a bit overpowering. A refreshing finale is guaranteed with the citrus-flavored crisp and verbena cream. Efficient and exceptionally friendly service. A small wine list.
