Prémices

Two friends who met while working at nearby restaurant La Mercerie have opened their own trendy bistro a few doors down, opposite the opera house. A magnificent counter adorned with zellige tiles greets guests; upstairs, the dining area is sizable. At lunchtime, tuck into a set menu, which comes at a very affordable price considering the quality of the dishes. The menu – renewed twice a month – smacks of good, modern cuisine, and features unusual combinations and trendy names such as celeriac ice cream. The home-made bucatini with spinach condiment and fried sage is a real treat, as is the delicious butternut and nutmeg tart with a subtle quince paste and physalis condiment.
