La Vieille Tour

Visible from afar, the tower of this 15C house will guide you to this gourmet haunt. Youthful chef Alexis Letellier regales his guests with well-crafted, modern food using top-notch produce that hits the spot every time. His recipes sometimes reveal an Asian influence and are regularly reworked in line with the seasons. We tasted a raviole of crunchy beetroot, fresh goat’s cheese mousse and tartare of aged beef; fillet of duckling, smoked then grilled to crisp the skin, braised fennel and a gutsy olive jus. The chef’s partner, Alice, greets guests professionally and cheerfully, offering excellent wine tips along the way. Delicate flavours, character and attractive plating: what’s not to like?
