Carefully selected, high-quality ingredients used with skill—this is the true hallmark of Chef Christophe Ducros, who has also been the owner, alongside his wife Sarah, for the past three years, after working for many years alongside the Lafon couple. His precision and respect for flavor are such that he’s come close to turning cooking into an exact science, offering blind-tasting menus (€100 and €130), the “Seasonal Journey”—a three-course experience offering a great introduction for 70 €: langoustines with candied beets, strawberries, and marjoram; duck with eggplant and mushrooms; and French toast with apricots and caramel sauce… An impressive wine cellar with 350 selections, focused on the Bordeaux region but also featuring wines from all regions, including a few international selections.
