starters
Begin your meal with delicately balanced starters that showcase freshness and creativity. Though the menu evolves seasonally, expect exquisite dishes where vibrant fruits and fresh herbs like raspberry and tarragon add lively notes, and local pickles provide a crisp, tangy contrast — setting the stage for an unforgettable meal.
mains
The mains at Polypode are a symphony of textures and tastes, featuring refined creations such as the Carte Blanche — a dazzling dish combining succulent shrimp, creamy avocado, and delicate soy mayo with bursts of citrus from lime and the earthy crunch of buckwheat. Savor the freshest fish from Brittany’s coasts paired with tender cauliflower and exotic coconut, balanced by seasonal vegetables like beetroot and kale, and finished with modern maltese and bittersweet chocolate accents enhanced by toasted hazelnuts and fresh berries.
Another standout is the Retour du Marché, a masterful market-inspired dish where the delicate Arctic char (omble chevalier) is elevated by the bright freshness of peach and raspberry, subtle hints of horseradish and pickles, and a squeeze of lemon to brighten every bite. These mains highlight Polypode’s commitment to quality, seasonality, and culinary innovation.
desserts
End your dining experience with desserts that are equally imaginative and balanced. Expect creations that play with textures — from the richness of chocolate (notably 64% cocoa) and nutty undertones of almond and hazelnut to the vibrant acidity of berries like blackberry and blueberry. These sweet dishes provide a perfect harmonious finish to the meal, echoing the fresh and thoughtful approach found throughout the menu.
