The Michelin Guide's review
It is impossible to miss this restaurant and its striking, oxidised metal fretwork façade on the way out of town. It is the lair of chef Nicolas Nobis and his wife Isabelle, who met in Alençon and honed their skills under Bernard Loiseau and Georges Blanc. Wood prevails in the tasteful, understated interior and the same ethos, erring towards simplicity and nature, can be tasted in the food. The chef loves working with plants (hyssop, verbena, etc.) and vegetables from local growers. His precise timing and seasonings are guaranteed to awaken all five senses, which are in for an unforgettable experience.
