The menu is varied and extensive. Start with goose liver terrine, or scampi salad with violet artichokes, followed by the wild mushroom risotto, or baked turbot with caviar, rounded off with a sorbet – the green apple and Calvado is always a sell-out choice.

Dishes are made with fresh and locally-sourced ingredients and range from anchovy ravioli and spinach, to roasted veal. Save room for a dessert – they are as innovative as they are tasty.

The bar is equally as cool, with sink-into sofas and funky lighting, and there is also a restaurant serving Italian fare alongside international dishes.
