A Story of Food Lovers
The trio that hits the mark? Clément, the passionate chef, and his partners Guillaume and Franck. Their mission: to pay tribute to the recipes of Brigitte, the chef's grandmother, by reimagining classic local dishes. All of this results in a generous menu that reminds us of family Sundays.
Between Flamiche, Fricadelle, and Maroilles Risotto
On the menu, the must-haves: flamiche with maroilles or leeks, carbonade flamande, chicken maroilles, waterzoï, bone marrow... and the famous maroilles risotto with shell pasta that wins over even the most reluctant. And for the adventurous eaters, the welsh with crumble from Wissant is also available in a veggie version: to satisfy all appetites.
