Njørden

★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine, Scandinavian

Opposite the townhall of a picture postcard village set amidst vineyards, this small inn, which sports an uncluttered Scandinavian vibe, offers seafood- and veggie-centric cuisine. Philippe Deslarzes signs a crisp, modern score, in a bid to showcase the ingredients’ natural essence: Danish langoustines, Vadouvan bisque and red and white beetroot; Scandinavian cod, endives and cloves. Artistic plating, hearty flavours, stylish tableware and flawless service, without forgetting the sommelier’s insightful tips. The chef’s other establishment, the Njørd Café, aims for a more bistronomic slant.

Auberge de la Croix d'Or - Bistro

Bib Gourmand€€Traditional Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine

Claudia and Olivier Hiernard have combined bistro and restaurant at their charming inn. The delicious bistro fare on the blackboard is now complemented by a market-inspired "Menu du Marché", meaning flavoursome dishes are now served in both parts of the establishment. Just don't forget to leave room for dessert! On Friday and Saturday evenings, only a small selection is available.
