This Ardennes hostelry on the banks of a pond and surrounded by forest is Instagram perfect. The huge picture windows and terrace command an idyllic view over the magical location, which is further enhanced by a smart, trendy interior. Chef Borg Da Silva rolls out his mastery of classical French cuisine, as the cavalcade of polished dishes flanked with big-boned gravies illustrates. An example: medium rare duck breast with a succulent layer of fat, paired with a blueberry jelly, al dente salsifies dusted with horn of plenty mushrooms, dauphine potatoes and a subtle veal gravy. The range of set menus exemplifies the chef’s subtlety and ability to exalt the flavour of each ingredient.
