Prestige Restaurant Chabichou, a family home. Chabichou, the cuddly toy for lovers of authentic, sincere cuisine, cradled by Stéphane Buron's plates. We wish there was a Chabichou in every luxury resort, on snow or sea, to protect us from the glitz and glamour. MOF chef Stéphane Buron and his son Antonin firmly uphold Michel Rochedy's legacy, while taking it in a new direction and making it evolve. For it's pure Buron in this highly successful trompe-l'oeil between apple and foie gras, combined with pike-perch, lightly smoked on one side and marinated on the other. The Limoges native knows how to navigate in the middle, and practices the "at the same time" better than anyone, between the ocean and the Alps, between the field, the river and the forest. While he multiplies special effects, it's never to the detriment of taste, as shown by the langoustine triple worked on a citrus theme, including a beautiful Japanese bbq piece with a delicate Maltese sauce. As the seasons go by, it's impossible to separate the man from his work: Chabichou cuisine, technical and a little classic, with some brilliant stylistic exercises, is Buron cuisine, both surprising and comforting, like the plate of snail char, crayfish, nasturtium cream and tagetes oil with a gourmet cromesquis, scallops with corn and pig's trotter jus, or buckwheat turbot with onion. And if his generosity sometimes pushes him to want to say too much in a single plate, his technical precision always convinces, especially with classics like this magnificent venison with wild blueberry jus perfumed with sakura flower and venison black pudding tatin with beet. Inspired and progressive desserts, like the beet dark fruit chocolate. The cellar, rich in many grands crus and well-equipped for the region, will one day have to undergo a revolution to enter the modern era, but contains many fine bottles at fair prices.
