Under the expert guidance of Chef Yoann Conte, each dish is a masterpiece, blending traditional French techniques with innovative flavors to create an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
Starters
Begin your meal with refined starters that showcase regional delicacies and masterful preparation. Taste the delicately smoked Féra d’Eric Jacquier paired with its own roe, or savor the luxurious warm oysters from Tarbouriech’s étang de Thau, topped with a subtle buckwheat foam. Adventurous diners will appreciate the Escargots de Poisy, served in a fragrant herbal broth, while vegetable enthusiasts can enjoy the creative carrot prepared in multiple textures and styles. For a touch of elegance, indulge in white asparagus dressed with a licorice mousseline sauce and linseed oil, or treat yourself to the sublime caviar accompanied by creamy Bresse cream and house-made blinis.
Mains
The mains at Le Roc reveal the depth of Chef Conte’s artistry and commitment to quality. Delight in the true perches of Lake Léman, freshly caught and served with tender lamb’s lettuce. The turbot poached in olive oil comes accompanied by young spinach shoots and a caper-infused butter that enriches every bite. Explore the nuanced flavors of Saint-Pierre, enhanced by the traditional cheeses of Nice and Savoie, or opt for the tender lamb saddle and sweetbreads accompanied by a Savoyard gratin and an aromatic génépi sauce. Another standout is the veal sweetbreads paired with Breton thistles and a savory savory herb jus. For a truly special occasion, share the charcuterie pie layered with foie gras and truffles, designed for two or more to enjoy together.
Desserts
Conclude your meal with desserts that combine elegance and creativity. Savor the selection of fine cheeses curated by Marc Dubouloz, or indulge in the delicately crisp Gaufrette Mâconnaise complemented by vanilla diplomat cream and rum caramel. The Fou de Rhubarbe offers a refreshing contrast with Swiss meringue, while the Paille d’Or framboise evokes childhood memories with its raspberry notes. The feuille à feuille brings together strawberry and basil in a sophisticated harmony, and the Choc au lac delivers a rich, chocolate finale that perfectly caps the dining experience.
