A setting designed to inspire chef Jérôme Dallet, who has worked with Emmanuel Renaut (Megève) and Anne-Sophie Pic (Valence). Local produce is given pride of place (mogette beans, snails, Confolens lamb…) in the chef's wonderfully indulgent gourmet score. Alfresco dining on the leafy terrace in fine weather is bliss.
