Gourmet Restaurant

His parents used to run an inn there; Mathieu Escoffier has turned it into a successful business—a Burgundy-themed bar that could just as easily be found in New York, Sydney, or Singapore, where the young man has already opened a similar establishment. Where the spirit of sharing and the simplicity of the wine-growing region once reigned, Ma Cuisine has now gone 2.0, with reservation hours from 5:45 PM to 9:30 PM, featuring shrimp, Iberian ham, and Galician beef. The menu still speaks volumes about the region, however, with escargots and pâté en croûte, a guinea fowl casserole for four, and Corton pigeon with roasted garlic, all at substantial prices, presented in a refined manner: egg and morels, red mullet as the catch of the day, pan-seared with a virgin sauce, and a simple dessert like crème caramel. A well-stocked regional wine cellar, with no wine by the glass or very little (one white, one red, at the sommelier’s discretion), ensuring maximum efficiency in both service and organization.
