From the moment I was greeted, the attentive and welcoming staff made me feel at home. The sommelier, with his vast knowledge and warm approach, guided me through a selection of exquisite wines that enhanced every flavor of the dishes.

As I savored the shellfish with its luxurious Normande sauce, I was immediately entranced by its impeccable presentation and beauty. Accompanied by the Vouvray Sec, Domaine Champalou Vouvray, Loire, France, beautifully balanced with flavors of golden apples, quince, and flinty minerality, complemented by a crisp, linear acidity that flows through to the finish.
Next, the main course of Gigot d’Agneau Persillé surprised me with its delicate combination of flavors.
To finish, the Blood Orange Parfait was a true indulgence for the palate. Accompanied by the Coteaux du Layon, a sweet wine from the Loire Valley region, this dish concluded my meal in a memorable way, with its fruity notes and balanced sweetness.
