L'Envie

Take a seat in this classy establishment to sample the creative food of an experienced chef. Inès will bowl you over with her impressive “Bible” of wines (mainly French with a knockout choice of champagnes), which are paired with David Grosdent’s innovative dishes, rich in fascinating nuances. An uncompromising fan of fine produce, such as scallops from Dieppe or venison from the Ardennes, he deploys his culinary craft in an impressive display of classicism combined with modern, even amusing touches. He smokes the local game in hay before cooking it to perfection, adding a subtle sauce. Winter side dishes, such as beetroot, cranberries and Jerusalem artichokes add an interesting contemporary twist, which is further enhanced by the subtle balance of acidic and bitter flavours. The chef frequently prepares the same ingredient in different ways, deploying consummate craftsmanship, whilst adding his own inimitable hallmark. Fine dining at its best!
