Gastronomy & ingredients' passion
Cooking the ingredients we love, loving the cooking we make, to have it discovered by our guests and share with them our passion for the pleasures of the table, as so aptly Brillat Savarin, Prince of gastronomes, "is of all ages, all conditions, in all countries and every day; he joins all the other pleasures and is their last to console us for their loss "!
I love the cuisine of my Chef Hugo LORDIAN FOMBONNE, when he prepares dishes containing the market classics like calf's head in Gribiche sauce; I also like its more sophisticated but still very tasty dishes such as seared, foie gras from the Pountun farm, including one that he had served accompanied by a reduction scented with raspberry vinegar.
We like to go with him to meet the farmer in Orange that provides us with poultry, our cheese, MOF, which refines itself, our truffles provider,, in winter when fetching our snails with a local provider that raises them himself, our butcher who patiently made his stale meat, and all other, fans of good food and good French living. We also discover and rediscover with our friends the winemakers of superb wines in wich they put so much love and know-how to produce.
