contemporary French cooking

The talented chef Benjamin Delpierre just won a Michelin star at La Liégeoise, the hotel’s restaurant, for his delicious contemporary French cooking prepared with a lot of impeccably fresh seafood and locally grown produce.

At Restaurant 1912, the young chef David Drans, who previously worked for Alain Ducasse at the Plaza Athénée hotel in Paris for five years, delivers healthy and inventive Normandy-inspired, contemporary French cooking — and helps mark the place as an idyllic summer getaway.

Their version of la cuisine naïve - which is what I call the delicate, produce-centered, aesthetic contemporary French cooking - runs to spectacular dishes like an ur-comfort food silky potato purée with baby clams and slow-roasted pork with eggplant purée, cubes of pomelo and dill.
