When it comes to cooking, nothing beats simplicity. Chef Laurent Kleczewski has been making a case for this idea since 2002 in this peaceful Normandy building: drawing on beautifully fresh produce, he composes delicious and flavoursome dishes without ever resorting to showmanship. A few exotic notes – more precisely, Asian ones – are judiciously incorporated to elevate the dishes: a clever balance that never detracts from the basic ingredients. The bill is very reasonable, particularly at lunchtime and the cosy interior combines the feel of the original decor (old red-brick fireplace) with more contemporary touches.
