Chef's Restaurant

Today, this restaurant is a major player on the local scene. After many years of professional experience in Luxembourg, Catherine and Julien Elles returned to their homeland (Catherine is originally from Montalban, while Julien is from a family with roots in both Lorraine and Bordeaux) to settle down for the long term. The cuisine is refined and precise, featuring beautiful seasonal ingredients without being overly tied to the local terroir: flambéed mackerel, ajo blanco, red meat carpaccio, grilled octopus, roasted duck breast, poached William pear, financier, miso caramel, and Williamine ice cream—all part of a €54 set menu complemented by a few premium dishes available at an additional charge (brabante, sweetbreads…). A classic Bordeaux wine cellar.
