MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
At the end of a lane in the scenic village of Les Planches, you are greeted by a magnificent hamlet of old stone buildings, including a 15C mill, turned into a papermill in the 19C. The traditional dining room, complete with a flagged stone floor and a fireplace, oozes with charm, while the terrace overlooking Cuisance waterfall is truly jaw-dropping. The chef errs towards traditional recipes by way of a very concise menu. Trout in particular takes the limelight, illustrated by a tartare of trout with exotic fruits, yuzu, mango sorbet, passion fruit and coriander. The chef’s signature dish is a consummate ballotine of Bresse hen in morel mushrooms and vin jaune – to die for!
