Description

On the doorstep of the Cerdon vineyards, this picturesque medieval village in the Bugey and Revermont region is home to a great establishment! Jérôme Busset works tirelessly (in and out of the kitchen) to devise an intelligent surprise menu with a range of options. Modern, intuitive, signature cuisine, made with cherry-picked local produce: market garden asparagus and carrots, snails with wild herbs, Poncin honey and insightful wine tips. All of which is served in a pleasant airy dining room with a lightwell and a vaulted conservatory.
