Description

On Île St Laurent, a contemporary restaurant offering a well-crafted lunchtime menu at prices that make sense. For example, warm mushroom mousse with vin jaune and a creamy Mont d’Or cheese topping. The evening menu is more elaborate (foie gras, turbot, lobster). Some of the super fresh vegetables and fruit come from the kitchen garden.
