The Experience
From Michelin Guide
This institution lives on under the stewardship of a young couple who came here from La Mirande (Avignon): chef Yoan Delorme and head waiter Cellia Baudelier. The chef dreams up tasty, precise and imaginative dishes, such as tartlet in the style of a pissaladière with its anchovy pieces, bacon and onion mousse, and a fresh salad of green beans, chard, chervil, tarragon and coriander, or pig's knuckle and a salad of grilled corn with lemon, fermented mustard seeds, preserved lemon paste and creamy polenta. This is of course a success story that goes hand in hand with respect for the seasons and an affinity with the best producers, both locally and beyond (the fish comes from the Mediterranean).
