In the heart of the village, Julien Momon and his partner welcome you into a pared-down, wood-rich interior whose modern culinary score is founded on local, seasonal produce. To start, creamy aubergines paired with crunchy courgettes, fresh goat’s cheese from La Grave, basil pesto and red pepper sorbet, followed by 12-hour confit of pork belly in rosemary with velvety mashed potato and iced vegetables. The food is fresh, fragrant, vibrant and polished in a culinary ode to the cornucopia of country produce, courtesy of the virtuoso technique of a chef who boasts stints with Christophe Bacquié and Gérard Boyer. A slap-up meal with all the trimmings and offering excellent value for pleasure.
