The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Take a drive through the picturesque landscape to this elegant restaurant in a small town in the canton of Jura. Jérémy Desbraux's classical cuisine is impressive – its depth of flavour packs a punch to the palate. There is a coherence to the dishes, with nothing feeling over-egged or contrived. Very pleasant and competent service; the wine recommendations are excellent. There are also guestrooms for an overnight stay.
