Imagine a contemporary vessel built out of stone, iron and glass set in a medieval fortress with a 360° view of the countryside. Marie-Aude and Serge Vieira fell in love with the spot and quickly turned this out-of-the-ordinary venue into an establishment whose reputation extends far beyond the borders of Auvergne. Serge, whose talent and kindness were beloved of all, bequeathed his substantial culinary heritage to Marie-Aude and her teams, all of whom are committed to upholding Serge’s enthusiastic and sensitive approach to food while enhancing the outstanding produce of Auvergne. An example: slab of Aubrac beef, courgette cannelloni and marigold-flavoured mash, black garlic and an ivy-flavoured gravy.
