Apart from that the décor is really a model of sobriety, with mild colours, elegant fabric, a constant mix of modern and traditional to create a well balanced end result, and very comfortable at that.
The cuisine is also a story in itself: that of Christophe Poirier, a young talented Chef who was taught in the most prestigious establishments of the capital, some of them star decorated, and who then decided to come back to his native region, to give new life to this establishment. He has given the place a whole new spirit and the professionals of his trade were not mistaken when they named him Gault Millau Young Talent 2009. You will taste innovative cuisine here, mixing Southern flavours and authentic Normandy products. A traditional inspiration giving rise to very surprising and original end results. It is true gourmet cuisine in fact, with very good know how at the base of it, along with creative and crazy touches, always excellent.
