Description

After stints at some prestigious Michelin-starred establishments in Paris, then at Château Cordeillan-Bages in Pauillac, chef Julien Lefebvre, who hails from Normandy, set up shop a few years ago in this charming medieval town. His cooking is both in step with the seasons and very much in the spirit of the times. Open kitchens giving onto a dining space with contemporary decor or a terrace for sunny days.
