Behind a 19C façade and within 18C walls, this contemporary hotel designed by Jean-Philippe Nuel has its own lounge-style restaurant adjoining the bar. The menu is in keeping with the culinary zeitgeist: for example, tuna sashimi, mango, avocado, with soy and sesame sauce, or sautéed calf’s sweetbreads, celery and lovage. For tables of friends, there are large dishes designed to share (whole seabass, rib steak etc). For those with a sweet tooth, there’s a choice of plated desserts or pretty pastries laid out in the display cabinet.
