Traditional Cuisine
The Michelin Guide's review
Chef Adrien Descouls has set up shop 10min from his MICHELIN-starred restaurant and a stone's throw from the imposing 12C Romanesque Abbatiale St Austremoine. The bistro's simple decor – white walls and red banquettes – sets the stage for terroir-driven cuisine anchored in traditional recipes. As truffade world champion, he cooks up a generous, authentic version of the potato-and-cheese speciality with gooey fresh Tome, accompanied by cured ham. In the same indulgent vein, desserts range from artisanal verbena-liqueur-soaked savarin to peach Melba. The wine list features a wide selection of regional labels and spotlights a local winemaker each month. A lively and affordable spot in the town centre.
