This Langon institution reinvented itself after the death of Claude Darroze, Hélène's uncle. With Jean-Charles and Annelle, a new page is being written, with chef Mathis Jonquet, and a new, contemporary, product-focused way of bringing tradition to life: frogs' legs in parsley and carnation coulis, duck in orange sauce, roasted Aveyron veal loin with Noilly Prat jus réduit, not forgetting the unmissable desserts, profiteroles and Grand Marnier soufflé. Good Retour du Marché formula at €36, cellar always well-stocked with Bordeaux wines.
