Head Chef, Le Pigalle

Good food for everyone…

Local, natural and genuine… Our menu offers simple and handpicked seasonal dishes that change with the variety of nature. They are prepared and served all day, and until late at night. It’s all about making the produce the focus rather than unnecessary preparation. This is a kitchen where most of the preparation is done beforehand, often using home-made jams, terrines, pickles and preserves made the summer before.

The menu has a distinctly local flavour and has been put together with local retailers and growers who are as eclectic as the hotel itself. This decidedly seasonal menu is available on the ground floor or from room service. The wine list (natural wines for the most part) and bar menu follow the same philosophy, with the emphasis on simplicity and accessibility rather than fancy concept beverages. They’re available 24 hours a day.
