Le P'tit Roseau

€€Modern Cuisine

Between the railway station and the picturesque René Cassin Square, Jérémy Bonhivers crafts an inspired culinary score. Delicate, tasty recipes, subtly perfumed with flowers, herbs and young shoots set the scene for colourful, exquisitely plated dishes. To be sampled either in the minimalist dining room or, weather permitting, on the covered terrace and patio abutting the square.
