Chef Naoëlle d’Hainaut chose a small side street at the foot of the Pontoise Cathedral to open her first restaurant. The result is an elegant Scandinavian-inspired look depicted by bright colours, a glazed wine cellar and an open-plan kitchen serving flavoursome dishes in the zeitgeist. Examples include Berinda aubergine baked in rosemary-flavoured breadcrumbs, basil, pink garlic cream and grated feta cheese. Each dish rolls out the same technical skill, harmony of flavours and refreshing honesty, underpinned by the well-honed, relaxed, seamless service of a youthful front-of-house team. A restaurant that comes highly recommended!
