Gourmet Restaurant

In this neighborhood of Montferrand—situated a short distance from downtown yet boasting a certain historic charm—Xavier Colombier’s restaurant is a great place to stop by, for example after visiting the Roger Quillot Art Museum. The cuisine is seasonal and well-executed, constantly evolving and presented on a concise à la carte menu: pan-seared red mullet, bisque reminiscent of bouillabaisse, ratatouille sorbet, rouille, and rye bread; a trout from the Aubrac Mountains confit in hazelnut oil, green lentils from Le Puy, fish bone jus; Grand Massif veal sautéed to a rich brown, served with a potato compress, a deep cocoa-infused jus, and the tangy freshness of raspberries; a still-warm chocolate mousse, meringue shards refreshed with verbena, wild blueberries, shortbread, and a crispy tuile. The restaurant also hosts private events.
