"There will be a 30-cover bistro, with a €25 lunch menu and a €45 evening menu, in the same spirit as what I'm already doing at Pouliche, with a menu that goes from €25 to €45.I'm already doing at Pouliche, with dishes to share, but also a gastronomic section which will open at the end of October," explains Amandine Chaignot. "In both cases, there will be a real focus on sourcing to showcase this very rich terroir, both in terms of market gardening and animal husbandry, but also cider, for example."
