Starters to awaken your palate

Mains crafted with care and local flair
The main courses celebrate regional ingredients with a modern twist. Dive into the creamy risotto enhanced with wild garlic, tender asparagus, and nutty buckwheat for a satisfying vegetarian option. The house-made burger features a juicy beef steak nestled in a za'atar bun, layered with tandoori mayonnaise, goat cheese, Chinese cabbage, and caramelized onions, served alongside fresh fries — comfort food elevated to an art form. Seafood lovers will appreciate the Chamby trout, paired with a sun-dried tomato mini cake, olives, flavorful vierge sauce, and silky eggplant caviar. For a hearty feast, the braised Aubonne lamb is infused with tarragon and accompanied by grilled vegetables and couscous with raisins. Lastly, the Parisienne-style Emmental beef impresses with grilled cuts, peppery arugula, delicate white asparagus, and hazelnut mashed potatoes — a sophisticated plate that embodies Swiss tradition.
