He makes it a point of honor to work with the producers of Labastide Clairence and the surrounding area in order to offer gourmet dishes to his customers whom he welcomes throughout the year. The restaurant is not present on the internet, which is a real desire of the owner who wishes as much as possible that his establishment is a warm place, of exchanges and meetings.
