The kitchen crafts a seasonal tasting journey titled Menu du Chef en 5 Séquences, highlighting fresh, local ingredients that excite the palate and celebrate French culinary artistry.
Starters to Ignite Your Appetite
Begin your culinary adventure with artfully prepared starters that blend delicate flavors and textures. Savor the Langoustine juste tiédie, a gently warmed langoustine complemented by an artichoke medley and a rich bisque de langoustine réduite that delivers a taste of the sea. For a fresh and vibrant option, the Thon rouge à cru offers raw red tuna with a bright turmeric vinaigrette, pickled carrot, and crumbled feta, balancing zest and creaminess. Vegetarians will delight in the Asperges vertes starter — crisp green asparagus paired with parmesan sablé, a confit egg yolk, wild garlic espuma, and the depth of black garlic.
Mains That Celebrate Local Flavors
The main courses at Lamaccotte highlight the best of seasonal produce and regional specialties. Delight in the fresh ravioles filled with ricotta and spinach, accented by pine nuts, citrus gremolata, and peppery arugula — a harmonious blend of freshness and texture. Seafood lovers will appreciate the Poisson « petit bateau », featuring fish accompanied by a fennel variation, paprika aioli, and a flavorful fish bone jus that adds depth. For those craving hearty indulgence, the grilled pork shoulder is paired with tender Noirmoutier potatoes, strawberry chutney, and Mac-Hung pepper for a perfect balance of sweet and spice. Cheese connoisseurs can opt for a curated selection from the Crèmerie des Carmélites, served alongside complementary condiments.
Desserts That Delight the Senses
End your meal with inventive desserts where unexpected ingredients shine. The roasted white asparagus dessert combines honey, creamy asparagus mousse, meadowsweet espuma, and a crunchy streusel for a light yet flavorful finale. The praliné croustillant pistache features a crisp pistachio praline paired with strawberry marmalade, airy mousse, and refreshing basil sorbet, offering a playful contrast of textures and tastes. For chocolate lovers, a refined composition of dark chocolate and fresh mint provides a cool and decadent close to the menu.
