Dining
Renée
Dunkirk-born Charles Bruneval completed stints at some top establishments before opening this restaurant, the name of which pays tribute to his grandmother. In an unpretentious setting, he cooks up traditional, hearty and meticulous fare: skate wings à la grenobloise, pâté en croûte, shrimp croquettes. Precise cooking and rich sauces – every bite reveals the touch of a seasoned chef.
