Much like the artist Corot, who painted the neighbouring ponds, Rémi Chambard turns to nature and produce from Île-de-France for inspiration when it comes to cooking. He proposes a single set menu that showcases the region by highlighting the different villages from which he sources his ingredients from Meaux to Choisy-le-Roi. He also personally undertakes what he calls his "urban harvest" in the King's Kitchen Garden in Versailles. This virtuoso chef, an alumnus of some renowned establishments, relishes working with vegetables and plants (as well as other ingredients). His fresh, delicate repertory is artistically exquisite: trout, sorrel, finger lime; mushrooms, Agastache leaves, confit of onions; duck, cherries and courgettes. The pared-back, plush, yet cosy interior provides the perfect foil to polished cuisine.
