The Experience
From Michelin Guide
At this intimate, traditionally furnished restaurant, long-standing Chef-Owner Pascal Aussignac’s menus serve as an ode to the hearty produce of South West France. It's one of the world's most indulgent cuisines and is showcased here in a seasonally changing menu that features eye-catching, elaborately presented dishes. Harmonious flavour combinations and a modern edge run through dishes that are ambitious and creative, like the 'Philosophies of Clementine Variation' dessert. The service team are engaging, attentive and knowledgeable; ask them about the wine and tea pairings.
