L'effetto PapillaL'effetto Papilla

Image Credit: In the heart of the town, almost within shooting distance of the castle, this small modern bistro, which sports a workshop vibe of wood and metal, is the brainchild of chef Adrien Barrier, who was born in Le Mans and knows Mayenne inside out. After stunts with Yannick Alléno and Philippe Mille, this slapped craftman cures feel-good, flavoursome food that hits the spot every time, be it his white asparagus with haddock, houmous and hazelnut crumble or the confit of pork belly, pressed aubergine and pork jus.
